Are you measuring the right video results?
Video has become one of the most effective ways for businesses to demonstrate products, explain services, establish credibility, and build relationships with potential customers.
We're producing more video than ever. Are we producing more customers?
A business can generate thousands of views, hundreds of likes, and dozens of comments without producing a single qualified lead.
I've seen businesses celebrate impressive video numbers without knowing whether the people watching are even located in their market.
If you're a local business serving customers within 100 miles, does it really matter if your video gets 100,000 views from people who will never become customers?
Maybe, if you're building broader brand awareness. But let's not confuse that with measurable sales opportunities.
Are your videos answering the questions customers ask before purchasing? Demonstrating why they should trust your business? Solving a problem? Showing the actual people, products, and experiences behind your company?
Or are we creating content simply because an algorithm might reward it?
And now AI is making video production faster and easier than ever.
That's an opportunity. But it also means businesses will be competing against an extraordinary amount of additional content.
Use video to build trust, demonstrate expertise, infotain, and give customers a reason to choose your business.
Then measure what happens next.
Did they visit your website? Call your business? Request information? Become a customer?
Views tell you people watched. Business results tell you whether it mattered.
Just because "we can do it with AI" doesn't mean we should.
