B2B video podcasting in your show’s production is no longer a luxury in 2024 and beyond.
Video is essential to boosting your reach, engagement, and brand credibility.
Here’s why you should consider adding it to your workflow.
Increase Engagement
Video content grabs attention quickly. It keeps your audience engaged longer by adding a visual element.
According to Wistia, people spend 1.4 times more time on pages with video than without.
Improve Your SEO
Search engines prefer video content, especially on platforms like YouTube. Google has invested heavily in its search algorithm bots to grasp video elements and filter relevant content.
It’s a big reason why HubSpot reports that video marketers get 66% more qualified leads per year than teams that only use written copy.
Expand Your Reach
Did you know that the average U.S. adult spends over 50 minutes a day watching videos on their mobile devices?
That’s because videos are easily shareable on every major social media platform today.
Well-produced videos on LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and other platforms attract far more traffic than written content alone.
In fact, 51% of consumers say they are more likely to share a video than any other medium. The same is true for your show’s guests who want to share their interviews with their networks!
Build Brand Authority
Video helps establish your brand as a leader in your niche.
High-quality videos show professionalism and commitment to providing valuable content to a B2B podcast’s audience.
They also make your brand more relatable by putting a face to the voice that comes through your show’s airwaves.
According to a 2017 study released in the medical journal Psychological Science, we infer most of our emotional responses based on what we see.
As many marketers know, emotions play a pivotal role in consumer decision-making. So a visual push might be just what your most promising leads need to turn into conversions!
