Unique integration of Webdesign, SEO, and Website Video Called Search to Sale™
Website video spokesperson & web commercials are a cost-effective marketing booster. A way for you to double or triple lead conversions rates. Motiliti provides Austin SEO service, actors, scripting consultation, and installation. Our full-service approach means you are buying a web revenue generating machine, not just a video. Site owners use spokesperson video to make a site more human, approachable, clear, compelling and distinct from competitor sites.
There are both good and bad uses of this kind of web technology, just like any other marketing technique. The best use is always delivering straightforward, precise information that the visitor needs. The worst use is usually exemplified in trying and entertaining the guest in some way. Remember, they did not visit your site to be entertained (see the electric chicken brush video for that). They used a search engine to find information on a service or a product, not to watch what is obviously a sales pitch wrapped in a silly script.
Website video has an identical function to any other element of the website and can be effectively used to promote anything from custom 3d printed toys to reiki massage in Austin. It is there to communicate about the service or product. It just happens to be the most powerful way to deliver your message, but still, the message is no different. This is why embedded video commercials on a website cannot serve the same function as spokesperson video. The connection with the visitor is not the same. “Framed” web commercials can certainly be of great value for branding and credibility, but they cannot replace the face-to-face communication of a “half-body” borderless spokesperson delivering a powerful script.
