Include your location and service in the video title to make it stand out. Use tools like Google’s Keyword Planner to discover popular search terms that potential clients are using.
Your video description should be informative, including relevant keywords, a brief overview of your services, contact information, and timestamps for different sections of your video.
A compelling thumbnail can significantly increase clicks. Use images that capture attention and create a sense of curiosity, but keep them honest.
Tags act as breadcrumbs that guide viewers to your video. Include both obvious and less obvious related tags, such as “home inspection” and “first-time homebuyer tips,” to reach a broader audience.
A clear call to action (like asking viewers to like, comment, and subscribe) can boost engagement. Responding to comments is also crucial for building relationships and increasing video interaction, which helps with SEO.
SEO is a long-term strategy. Consistently produce and optimize your content, and with time, you’ll start seeing results.
Welcome, fellow home inspectors! Ready to take your video game to the next level? Trust me, I’ve been where you are – staring at a camera, wondering how on earth to make “checking for proper insulation” sound exciting.
Lights, Camera, SEO Action!
I remember my first home inspection video. It was about as thrilling as watching paint dry – literally because part of it was about checking paint conditions. But boy, have things changed!

1. Title Tango: Dance with the Keywords
2. Description: More Than Just Words
Think of your video description as your elevator pitch. Pack it with relevant keywords, but keep it natural. Include your contact info, website, and a brief rundown of your services. Oh, and don’t forget to add timestamps for different sections of your video – Google loves that stuff!

3. Tag, You're It!
Content is King, But Engagement is Queen
Creating great content is only half the battle. The real SEO juice comes from engagement.
4. Call to Action: Don't Be Shy!
5. Respond to Comments Like Your Business Depends on It (Because It Does)
I remember feeling discouraged after my first few videos barely got any views. But I kept going, tweaking my approach based on what worked. Now? I’m crushing it with views.
