Why it works
YouTube videos rank in Google, get embedded in blogs, surface for years, and drive both top- and bottom-of-funnel leads.

When to use it
Anytime your buyer searches 'how to', 'best', 'vs', or 'review' for your topic.
When NOT to use it
Avoid if you can't commit to weekly cadence for 6+ months.
How to use it
- Pick 3 content pillars tied to buying intent.
- Write the title and thumbnail BEFORE you script.
- Hook in 0-15s — restate the promise, show the payoff.
- Use playlists to keep viewers in a funnel.
- End every video with one specific CTA (subscribe + lead magnet).
- Track retention curve, click-through rate, and average view duration weekly.
Examples
