5 top reasons why you should use video on your website

2. Video helps with SEO
According to research by Forrester, video content can increase your search engine ranking, click-through rates, open rates and conversions. Also videos help increase the time a user spends on your website which also improves your ranking.
3. Video gets seen on mobile
People search online at all times of the day, on all sorts of devices. Most of them prefer watching a video on their mobile, as it’s easier than reading a page of small text.
4. Video gets shared
Whether on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or Vimeo, if your video is short and catchy, people will share it online.
