YouTube Annotations – What They Are And What They Can Do For You

Did you know you can add timed annotations to your YouTube videos?

That’s right!

On top of providing added information to your video viewers, text annotations double as SEO.

You already know Google favors YouTube videos over any third party websites, so it makes perfect sense to capitalize on this keyword driven feature.

Important things to remember when setting up your text annotations:

1. Highlight Call To Action

Text annotations should inspire your prospects to respond to your calls to action. For example, use annotations that highlight your phone number or website address.

2. Add Value

Your annotations should add value to your videos, not only focus on calls to action. For example, adding humorous speech bubbles throughout videos will not only enhance the viral aspect of videos, but also boost conversion.

3. Add Keywords

Your text annotations should also feature relevant keywords. Remember, text annotations are stored on YouTube databases which in turn are crawled and indexed by Google.
