Tricia Clements: You've heard me talk all about how
video is the future of the internet, but are you posting
videos to your Google My Business page?
Make sure you are, I'm going to tell you exactly how you can do that.

Tricia: Hi, I'm Tricia Clements, Chief
Fur Wrangler with MuttButs.com.
I'm a social media manager specializing
in pet businesses and Video.
Today, I want to talk to you about your Google My Business page.
You saw on recent videos I was talking about how important
it is to post there, what to post, and how often.
Recently, there was a change, and it was a big change because when
I would go on to post something, it allowed me to post pictures.
I wanted to post video, of course, so I waited and waited, sure enough,
Google My Business is making all kinds
of changes, this is one of them.
They have added the ability to upload videos as a Google My business Post.
Remember, Google My Business posts are basically
free advertising that Google is giving you.
When does Google ever give you anything for free?
Yes, so you want to take advantage of this.
It is going to show up when people search and
find you, and you come up in the results.
It's going to come up when people are searching on Google Maps.
These posts are going to show right there underneath your
information, so if you've got a special going on, if you've
got an event coming up, if you've got products or services
you want to talk about, make sure you're featuring them.
Now, you can add a video to that.
What you'll do is, just like a regular post, you're
going to log in to Google My Business, you're going
to go to the top left menu, the second one down says
post, just click on it like you normally would.
Then you're simply going to say upload, you'll
now see that it says upload a photo or video.
Now, if it doesn't say that right now, wait a little bit of time.
Sometimes when things like this happen, it rolls out,
and it rolls out in waves to different businesses.
Originally when I heard about this, I wasn't able to do it.
I just realized I was able to, and I am so excited about this feature.
Make sure you go in there, start uploading videos.
Now, I'm not talking about lengthy videos,
these are a maximum for now of 30 seconds.
Go ahead, if you've got a video and it's too long,
don't forget what you can do, you can do a video mini.
You can shorten it to under 30 seconds
and then simply where they have a
link for you to add for a button on
your post, lead them to the full video.
That short video mini is going to
entice them to watch the entire video.
Like most social media platforms, I'm using
the square video because that really seems
to work the best, except for, of course, on
YouTube, which likes the landscape videos.
I'm using a square video primarily because most people are
using their cell phones nowadays to search for things.
When you come upon a Maps, you know how you are looking for a pet store
near me, and something comes up there, and you're out and about.
You put it in Google Maps and it comes up, you
find places, that's where it's going to come up.
Make sure you're adding those videos and using them.
I prefer square.
We'll see if that changes.
How things are changing with Google My Business,
they're really making a lot of changes recently.
The posts are relatively new.
The video is a brand new, take advantage of it.
I have a link to my Google My Business
page in the comments below. Take a look.
Tell me what you're doing with your Google My Business
post, especially now since you can add video to them.
I'm Tricia Clements with MuttButs.com.
Thanks so much for watching.
