Whatever your product or service add a simple video to convey your message.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I create a video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This video (below)\u00a0 is not\u00a0 video at all, but a slide show.\u00a0 While it is all labeled video on Google &#8211; your decision will rest on how much time you have to give to a video project.\u00a0 Editing consumes so much time.

That time separates your quality from others.\u00a0 It is 57 seconds in length. Make sure your viewer has time to read, but not get bored waiting for the next movement.<\/p>\n<p>People value their time in their search. To this end keep your video simple and short. If you aren&#8217;t creating a &#8220;how to&#8221; video get to your point. Make your message represent your service and wrap it up. This is the same formula for any book or script: you need a beginning, middle and end.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Look at this one: &#8220;Clutter?&#8221; with a good visual move onto &#8220;what we do well&#8221; to help with your problem, more visuals; then all the areas (kitchens, closets, etc.) we can help with clutter and finally: who we are.<\/p>\n<p>This video is hosted on YouTube, but used on my client&#8217;s Google Maps profile.
