Why Does Your Business Need to Be on YouTube?
If you are exploring current ways of sharing information with the world or wish to market to new crowds, YouTube is worth investigating. In this post, OMA Comp explains how the best companies use YouTube to make a major impact.
YouTube (Google’s video sharing website) is often thought of as an entertainment service; however, it also serves as a depository of information on millions of subjects.
Information Sharing
Video is the perfect format for explaining complex concepts, demonstrating how to do something, and making a connection with the viewer. Unlike static materials and media, video allows you to show all sides of a product in combination with audio. Manufacturers and retailers alike find great value in producing quick, product-centric videos.
As a free hosting service, YouTube videos can be shared across a variety of platforms while maintaining quality. Simply share the video’s link or embed it within an existing webpage to share your content.
Marketing
YouTube enables users to market specific videos using keywords and the power of Google’s ad serving technology. Looking to target a specific group of viewers? No problem! Videos can be actively managed and updated for maximum effectiveness.
YouTube collects and stores information on video views such as video engagement, viewer location, and viewer device. These data points can help improve future productions and inform you of the audience you’re reaching.
As a full-service marketing and branding partner, OMA Comp can help your business strategize, produce, and manage a highly effective YouTube presence. Please enquire within for additional details.

How Small Businesses Leverage Online Reputation Management
Why Online Reputation Matters
More companies have entered the digital marketing space and are using services to display advertisements and content on the internet (website, social media). Even companies that are slow to move to the digital age have consumers that are on these online platforms to offer their reviews of products and services.
Online reputation is a general term for the overall impression and opinion users across the internet have for a person or brand.
A poor online reputation will discourage individuals from doing business with you, whereas a positive reputation might push a decision maker over the line into deciding to purchase or make an appointment. Online reputation will clearly continue to grow in importance as consumers transition to the internet for gathering information and purchasing items and services.
Consumer Confidence
With the invent of sites like Google Reviews and Yelp, consumers have an opportunity to speak about the companies they do business with. Web savvy customers will search the internet to consider these reviews as well as other unfiltered commentary across social media.
Consumers take online reputation seriously and you should too!
It is important for small businesses to deploy online reputation management initiatives to learn exactly what is being said about them and to correct or respond when sites allow. Thank consumers when they take the time to provide a positive review and reach out to those that leave negative remarks which make it harder to do business. Taking corrective action can include responding to negative reviews and posting high-quality informative content. Contact OMA Comp to learn more about our Reputation Management; Monitoring & Repair to help ensure that your company maintains a high standing in the cyber world.
