Sure, the prospective search engine optimization company your business is planning to hire may boast effective SEO methods, proven and sound, to get your site noticed, but you may want to ask them about their record regarding video SEO. After all, online video-sharing has gained massive traction in recent years, and there have been some amazing statistics associated with this phenomenon. Of particular interest is the fact that properly optimized videos are 53 times more likely to reach the first page of Google than a traditional search engine-optimized page.

Recently Chris Crum from WebProNews posted a blog drawing discussion around a change in Google’s search engine algorithm. If you’re a search optimization company you may have noticed your site’s vacancy from Google’s local listings for geo targeted queries pertinent to the SEO industry. On the other hand, it appears Google has a preference for the non-SEO related industry *gasps* as organic results still favor local businesses for geo-specific queries. Why?
