Video Content Playbook for Kentucky Small Businesses
Video works best when it is treated as reusable business content, not a one-off post. A single useful clip can support social media, Google Business Profile updates, website FAQs, email follow-up, and local SEO pages.
Start with five simple video types
- Answer a common question in under 45 seconds.
- Show a before-and-after or project walkthrough.
- Introduce a team member or process step.
- Explain a local service area or neighborhood consideration.
- Record a customer-safe success story with the problem and result.
Make every video searchable
- Use titles and captions that include the service, city, and question being answered.
- Write a short summary under the video that can become website copy later.
- Embed or summarize the best videos on related service pages so they support organic search.
Use video to strengthen Google Business Profile
- Upload short clips or photos from real work when appropriate.
- Turn video topics into GBP posts, Q&A answers, and review-request follow-up content.
- Keep the profile connected to the same landing page used in the video call-to-action.
Track the leads video creates
- Use separate landing page URLs or UTMs for campaign videos.
- Track form submissions, phone clicks, and chat leads from those URLs.
- Review Search Console queries after publishing video summaries as blog or FAQ content.
