Translation and Transcription to Enhance Video Marketing Performance

Looking for a high-quality translation company may not be the first thing you think about when determining the best path to enhance your video marketing campaign, but it should be. Video transcription services can help you to increase views and viewer interaction with your videos. It is important to remember that you need an accurate translation and check all of the work to ensure quality translation.

High-quality translation of the videos can help to increase the visibility of your video marketing campaign by helping you to rank your translated videos with higher placement on the search engine results page, not only on Google but even on internal YouTube searches. Quality translation services can help increase your video marketing campaign and your international presence in all aspects of online marketing. 

YouTube is the second most popular website on the internet, lagging only slightly behind Google. YouTube’s popularity and usage have significantly increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to Think With Google, people are turning to YouTube in rising numbers for information that many have never even considered before. Among the most popular videos currently enjoying increased viewership are recipes, DIY (or Do It Yourself) videos, how to reduce stress, studying online, and home fitness videos. 

These video marketing concepts can be great for video influencer markets. Still, when combined with additional information and the power and effectiveness of successful YouTube video marketing campaigns, these can also help to improve your video marketing campaign results. 

YouTube video marketing campaigns have long been one of the driving factors behind how people searching online determine what they will or will not purchase online. There is a comprehensive list of video marketing statistics available on the HubSpot Blog revealing expansive and profitable trends for video marketing, including:

80% of marketers use visual assets in their social media marketing. Video (63%), alone, has also surpassed blogging (60%) in usage as a social media marketing asset.

Why Video Translation and Transcription Works

Given the nature of many modern video editing tools and programs, it is tempting just hard to code the subtitles into a video and forget about it. While this is a simple solution for video editing, it is not among the best solutions for video marketing campaigns. Why? 

One-third of online activity is spent watching video and 85% of Facebook videos are watched without sound though people on mobile devices often watch more video without sound.

Files with both subtitles and closed captioning receive fewer views and interaction. Videos with closed caption transcriptions or srt files have increased views, shares, likes, and comments. 

These srt files from the video transcription are indexed by the search engines. This increases the number of keywords that your videos will rank well for, especially if you have numerous videos in your video marketing campaign. This also increases the likelihood that your videos will be seen on the front page of the search engine results page and in the recommended videos on YouTube.
