WebsiteBuilder: Add Media Files

Media files help to increase the engagement and time spent on your website. It helps with branding your business, as it will showcase what your business is about. It is also easier to link between your website and your social media with videos.

There are two options available to add videos in Website Builder. You can add it via URL from Youtube or Vimeo.



Both platforms are good to use, but which option you choose will depend on your business and your needs.

Youtube is, by far, the largest video streaming platform. It is also one of the most used search engines. Google favors Youtube videos in searches, so you are more likely to come up in relevant searches. Youtube is free to use and works well on mobile. With billions of users, you will have a huge audience available. The downside of so many users is that there are SO many videos on Youtube, that it makes it more likely that yours will not be noticed. Lastly, Youtube features Ads which many users do not like.

Vimeo is a smaller, niched platform that tends to feature higher quality content. It doesn't have as many users and does not rank on Google, but it is devoid of Ads and also has a free option. That free option, however, is limited and you might need to purchase more storage, which can only be bought annually.

Once you decide which one is best for you and your business.
