In 2025, video is not optional—it’s mandatory. YouTube, Instagram Reels, and TikTok drive the highest engagement rates of any medium. Yet, most businesses fail because they don’t optimize videos for SEO & discovery.

- Hook (first 10 sec): “Struggling to get website traffic?”
- Main Content (3–5 min): Deliver value
- CTA (end): “Subscribe for weekly growth hacks”

- Description: 200+ words, with links & timestamps
- Tags: Mix broad & long-tail keywords
- Thumbnail: Bright, bold text, emotional faces
Step 4: Boost Watch Time & Engagement
