O.K. Everyone I am about to share a powerful marketing tip that only will cost you time.
Let me start off by sharing my business history so you can better understand the power of Youtube. We started our business in Traverse City MI. and shortly after relocated to Rogers Arkansas in a attempt to get into a warmer climate and to work for walmart executives.
After struggling with yellow page ads that did not make the phone ring and competing with over 100 carpet cleaners in the area (an unbelievably over saturated area of carpet cleaners) I discovered youtube and began making video testimonials and video promo's. At the time I was able to get my videos to the top of google search using the keywords I targeted. This worked well but was not the bread and butter of our business.
Shortly after we signed up with Piranha Marketing and that is when we really started to see an excellent return in my Youtube work. As a member we were able to work with other carpet cleaners commenting and rating on each others video's. After just a few months we completely dominated google in our area.
Example: at that time if you were to do a search for Carpet Cleaning Rogers AR we had 9 out of ten natural listings a local listing and a ppc ad. We showed up 11 times on the first page for that term. We had similar results for other cities in our area.
This lasted until we had to move because my wife fell ill to multiple sclerosis. We then moved to the Chicago area so she could get treatment. Since then I have done little on youtube and just recently started working on it again. My results are starting to pay off well. However not being a member of Piranha anymore we are not getting the ratings and comments we use to get. So now I am willing to share my experience in hopes of getting a group involved to help promote each other on youtube.
I invite all of you to have a look at my channel and study the way I word my titles, descriptions and keywords so you can learn how to do this yourself. Naturally I would like subscriptions, friends, comments and ratings as long as they are honest. In return I would be happy to watch your video's comment and rate them as I see fit.
One thing to keep in mind is youtube knows what you watch, comment on and rate. If it is related to your industry they will find you to be more credible and it will help you show up more in searches.
Just for kicks I am curious on how these search terms "carpet cleaning Northwest suburbs" "carpet cleaning Northwest suburbs of Chicago" will show up on google on others computers. Please let me know if you are interested in joining forces.
Thank You, Joe Hill
