Here are the 6 steps to creating a video for the homepage of your website. View the entire article here www.AutomationLinks.com/how-to-make-a-website-video. 1. Introduce the main pain point, you can only choose one so make sure it's general and will serve the majority of your audience. 2. Introduce yourself in 1 to 2 sentences. Your name and your position and leave it at that. Remember you can switch the order from step #1 and #2 if you'd like. 3. Tell them they're in the right place! 4. Talk about 3-6 services you offer and why they will solve their pain points. Why did you create them, why do you offer them and how can it help the viewer? 5. Touch on 1-2 testimonials, reviews or case studies relating to your services and/or pain point. What were the results, how did you fix their frustrations and make the viewer related to someone like them. 6. Tell the viewer where to go next! The majority of websites are "information" based when they really need to guide the customer down the sales funnel. If you're a service-based business tell them to fill out the form to get more information, schedule a call or just call you. If you're an eCommerce store tell them what the checkout experience is like and what they can expect when it comes to shipping. Remember the average website only gets a 0.01% signup rate. By adding relationship builders like videos that are personal you can raise your conversions by up to 7%! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/automationlinks/support

Find the best keywords You need to do your research on exactly what your ideal customer is searching for on Google. It’s probably different than what you think they’re searching for.

SEO your pages once Most companies will tell you they’re doing SEO on the same pages you already have over and over. Unless they’re creating new content or updating that content it’s pointless. You need new content, new pages, and update content if you want your SEO to improve. Quick Tips - Go over all your current pages and update content that’s outdated or not relevant. Update your pages, blogs and even add subpages with more information. Once you have your pages created you need to index them with Google. Learn how to do that here https://www.automationlinks.com/how-to-add-your-website-to-google. 3. Post new content consistently You need to show search engines you’re consistently trying to help their searchers. They want to see that you’re always trying to update your site with content that will bring value to people using their platform. This can be through written, video or even podcasts now. Quick Tips - Plan on posting something consistently every week like blogs, FAQs, testimonials or newsletters. This will show Google you’re updating your site with new content.
