Depends on your audience. As an ex-marketer for Apple and have grown multiple businesses I can say that not all audiences will be in KZfaq. My primary audience are exclusively consuming information in the written form. The type to print articles so they can read on vacation (Wall Street journal, economist, MIT Technological review etc) These type do not want to watch a video of any type. I have 600 videos on KZfaq using the help of VidIQ to establish keywords, tags, titles and descriptions etc. also had a videographer, editor, high end equipment so they are all professionally shot; but only have 700 subscribers with minimal lead generation. It has been a time and resource sink. My SEO has brought in 90% of our clients and establishing us as the professionals in the industry. This is how we get recognized for local awards and recognition as well.

Wes, you loud and clear on video. However, I wonder if a distinction needs to be made between informational searches, versus transactional, or service based, Google searches, directed towards a local business or service area. Thoughts?
@WesMcDowellInc
@WesMcDowellInc 4 ай бұрын
I hear ya, and yes those are importnat distinctions. The point I'm making tho is that even to be found for transactional searches is WAY less valuable then ppl naturally discovering you through YT long-term. Should you still try to rank for yur homepage and service pages, etc? Yes, but in my own business I started dreading whenever I'd have a consult with someone who found me through google vs on YT.

It's important to note that KZfaq and Google are both part of the same company, Alphabet Inc. While KZfaq has been expanding its services, such as taking over Google Podcasts, it serves a different purpose than Google's search engine. KZfaq is primarily a video-sharing platform, and while it has become a significant source of information and entertainment, Google's search engine remains a fundamental tool for web navigation and information retrieval. The two platforms complement each other and are likely to continue evolving to serve their users in interconnected but distinct ways.

So you want him to provide you with information about a service that he is NOT recommending? Why would a business do business with you if you are offering a product that is obsolete? And why would you ask a person for information on an obsolete product that the person you are asking is telling you that that product is obsolete? Your lack of understanding of the materials is incomprehensible.

Good video and makes total sense. Since AI content is flooding the web page creation process and the data is text based SEO is going to be extremely hard to thrive at. Personal branding will more more important than ever. KZfaq is obviously great at this since there is a feeling of connectivity with the creator. I'm glad I have focused most of my efforts into making a huge amount of videos. I still create blog posts but they always feel inferior to a good video. Also, for those of you that are feeling apprehensive because video creation seems like a difficult thing to do, just get started and avoid any idea of perfectionism. I look back at my old videos and cringe but they were necessary to get going. Not saying my new videos are the highest quality but they improved immensely from sheer volume and taking feedback from my subscribers along the way. Good luck to you and don't be a slave to AI tools. Shortcuts always come at a price. Just be yourself and make the content you would enjoy watching! Also, be extremely patient. Most people give up before they actually have time to succeed at something. Pick something that you will do when times are good and when times are bad and you will have your success along the way!

I really don´t get it regarding AI-generated search answers - there will be sources shown so the best content will get the hit. Do you mean we´ll be not deep diving to the source links and instead keep on asking Gemini instead?
@rodrigomejiaarmijo
@rodrigomejiaarmijo 3 ай бұрын
Exactly, a lot of people no longer explore the links but many times stay with Google's short answers that are often totally wrong due to lack of context. And with the amount of junk content that has been generated in search of SEO, that still drives more people to prefer AI answers than results optimized to rank high.

But who decides what is "best content"? AI can't actually tell what is "best content" as AI has no human emotions, plus "best content" will be different for each situation.

can't wait to start a channel for my art and creativity. Should I make a new separate channel just for it? this account is just my surfing KZfaq account. I don't use it as an upload channel and I've had my account like this for years. I thought of making a new gmail account just for having a dedicated KZfaq channel for my artwork and all things crafty and creative.

Great video, Wes! I've always believed that Google search would eventually evolve beyond its current form. While traditional search engines will likely persist for the next decade, we're heading toward a future where AI-driven fact-checking and real-time answers will dominate. You're absolutely right about the significance of KZfaq ranking. As content creators, understanding how to optimize for KZfaq's algorithms is crucial. Additionally, PPC (pay per click) and social media ads are becoming increasingly vital for businesses, not just large corporations but also medium-sized enterprises. Interestingly, Google's revenue heavily relies on PPC. They've been cautious about fully embracing AI in search because they want users to continue searching and clicking on ads. However, I wonder if their next move will involve allowing businesses to pay for visibility in AI-generated search results. Your observation about people preferring human presence in videos is spot-on. As AI adoption grows, viewers will seek answers in visual formats, even if the content was initially generated by AI. It's fascinating to consider how SEO specialists will adapt their strategies to optimize content specifically for AI-driven search engines.

First of all, I don't really offer services anymore. But when I used to, I did, but only strategically - once every 4-5 videos or so. The idea with youtube is to keep people watching more of your videos, then get them to your website after they've seen a few.

Im still trying to figure it all out. Was so impressed by the AI features that are available. I think you are correct that Google will make it where Chat GPT is the go to way for people to get the information that they want. Bloggers will have to be cross posting on the social media platforms more in order to be seen and will have to pay for ads. I turned my ads off seeing that I need to have the products in place before I try to grab my audience. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. I did that. So stepping back to create the products and determine where my audience will be after I get the website established. Thanks for teaching us through your videos. Looking forward to watching more from you. Cathy 😊

It's an interesting point of view and the introduction to AI is actually a fact. I think that reducing SEO to backlinks strategy is restrictive... not to mention that KZfaq is owned by Google and it's not new right? Also, Tiktok is consifered as a prefered option by the new generation when it comes to search for an information. So does SEO become useless in 2024? NO ... Does KZfaq and Tiktok are becoming a must-have in your communication strategy in 2024 ? YES definitely !
