What does Google Hummingbird like Video?

(March 14, 2014) – If you have lately asked a question on Google, then you have noticed that there have probably been some videos that show up on the search feed.

This is because of Google’s new algorithm “Hummingbird.” This new algorithm is effecting 90% of all search results, which include video.

Google has decided to change its algorithm for a number of reasons, but one of the most important is that they want the user to have a better experience using the Google search engine.

They are starting to answer questions in a very human-like form, which means they are moving away from the more traditional keywords and starting to answer specific questions.

This is huge for video because a) YouTube is owned by Google, and b) Google is now going to be looking at videos posted online to see if they have the answer.

So you might be asking, as a business owner, what does this mean to me or how can I benefit from it?

Google has made it possible for you to interact with your specific audience.

Since Google wants to answer their users’ questions, you should be the one providing the answers for those specific questions.

mwpdigitalmedia.com had a great example: If you are a real estate agent selling houses in a small area some key questions that you could ask are:

1. What are the best schools in the area?

2. Is the house close to a hospital?

3. What are the crime levels like in this area?

4. Have there been any problems with the neighbors?

Now that the Hummingbird algorithm has been unveiled, you can create quality video content that can answer these questions and more.

This is extremely important because 1) Google is looking for these types of videos to give to their users, and 2) these videos provide you with a unique opportunity to show the world your expertise and capabilities before they even pick up the phone to call.
