How Video Improves Website Conversions
We live in a world full of robots and AI — so why are things like networking events, in-person meetups, coffee shops, and mastermind groups making a comeback?
Because people still crave human connection.
Video = Real Human Connection
Adding real people through simple video intros and experiences on your website humanizes your practice, your college, your brokerage, or your firm in a very real way.
Let’s look at how adding video improves website conversions.
Your Website Still Matters Most
It’s true: the company website remains the most trustworthy place for customers to get information — more than Instagram or LinkedIn.
Visitors still go to websites — and more importantly, they trust them.
So, what you put on that website? It matters. A lot.
Traffic ≠ Conversions
I’ve spent over a decade in marketing and advertising.
Over and over again, I’ve seen companies:
- Celebrate traffic increases
- High-five over impressions
- Go out for happy hour because page views spiked
🚨 But they’re missing something huge:
You're so close, yet so far away — you still need to take the visitor across the finish line of the customer journey.
How Video Helps
🔹 1. Retention
According to Salesforce:
- Paragraph text: 15% retention rate
- Video: 93% retention rate
✅ Want people to get your message?
📹 Deliver it in front of a camera.
90% of customers say video helped them make a buying decision.
No one wants the Hollywood version of you.
They just want to meet you — the real people behind the brand.
🔹 2. Better Calls to Action
“Learn More” buttons?
Let’s be honest — they’re boring.
Instead:
- Embed CTAs directly in the video
- Use tools like Revel Forms to add:
- Multiple choice questions
- Contact forms
- Calendar bookings
- Action buttons
This increases conversion rates, especially when the user has already “met” your team.
🔹 3. Solve the Dual Audience Problem
Interactive video helps you:
- Route viewers based on their interests
- Show the right message to the right person
📍 Example:
On a surgical center’s site, a patient can:
- Meet the front desk assistant
- Then be sent straight to the correct doctor (who may perform their surgery)
🏡 Real estate is similar:
- First-time homebuyers vs. commercial investors? Totally different journeys.
Let video help you personalize for both.
🔹 4. Establish Trust & Credibility
Anyone can create a website in 2 minutes.
But introducing yourself and showing that your team is made up of real, local, community members?
That’s a competitive advantage now.
Lean into that.
