Video is great. There is no question that younger generations are shunning reading and trending towards watching more video. Google has made no secret of the fact it loves video when ranking websites, especially as it now owns YouTube.
However, not everyone has the best internet connection today or are free to watch this content. Perhaps their free time is limited to being on the road in traffic or while working on other projects. For this reason audio can be very powerful. Music can strength the emotional branding and bond consumers have with a company, product or service. Podcasts can provide depth, be easier to stream than video and still allows room for many companies to be the ‘global first’ in their industry with a podcast. A weekly podcast can also be incredibly powerful for customer retention and ensuring repeat visits.
Blogging is the core hub of most entrepreneurs’ and businesses marketing, branding and lead generation whether they realize it or not. It makes all the difference in search engine rankings, brand visibility and value, conversions and ROI.
