How to Send Videos to Your Primary Website Pages

At the risk of repeating ourselves, every single page on your website is a 'type' of landing page, and each and every page on your website is a conversion asset that must be treated as such. While the primary objective of each of your website pages might vary, the need to build every page around a conversion underpins our entire website and broader funnel experience. This overarching obligation requires that we include required assets on every page, such as a calendar-integrated subscription forms and - the focus of this FAQ - a video. A video is an essential page asset that you should endeavour to create on each primary topic.

This FAQ will not discuss the merits of video as part of your content strategy, nor will we talk about the value of creating a library of broad video content to amplify the impact of your funnels. Instead, this FAQ will simply look at how to assign video to various pages on your website.

Website Framework: The facility to update videos on pages is made available only in frameworks version 3.0 and later. Older frameworks can be updated but there may be a fee applied.

FAQ and Blog Videos: Other FAQs look at how to include videos at the top of FAQ and Blog articles, and how to include videos on various Lender Archive and Lender Product pages. The framework supports video everywhere for good reason - it converts. Your competitors are copying and pasting code like monkeys, and they don't have facilities to record video n Instagram and have them made available in Yabber as YouTube videos - you have a significant marketing advantage made available via the agile framework so we suggest you use it.

Video Archive: An FAQ titled "How to Send Videos to Your Website's Standalone Video Archive" details how to send all the videos ingested into your website to a dedicated website archive. The feature is designed to attract, engage, and convert your audience - your content is useless unless it can be found on your own website.

Video Tools: Your website and Yabber includes a very large number of video features. Review the 'Related FAQs' towards the bottom of this page for links that'll direct you to other resources.

Front Page Video: Your front page video is an extremely important conversion asset because your front page is also one that is highly trafficked. The primary front page video is introduced in an FAQ titled How to Change the Front Page Video. The front page also includes an optional video modal in your top-fold CTA area, and there's another three-video panel often shown towards the bottom of the page.

Your Website Doesn't Function Without Traffic: Your website won't convert without traffic, and you'll need video in order to garnish any significant SEO authority or social traction. The inclusion of video into your content creation program is one case where the egg will most certainly came before the chicken. If there was ever a secret sauce in the marketing domain, video would be it. Bottom line: Once you create video, don't just sit on it... repurpose it everywhere until there's not a home owner in the country hasn't seen it!

Given the large number of video options, it's important to clarify that the video we'll be assigning in this FAQ are onto internal cornerstone pages, such as your primary pages on 'Refinancing', 'Investing', 'First Home Buyers', and so on.

Again, the importance of video on important pages cannot be overstated.

  The Result

The result of assigning a video to a page is as you would expect - a video. A YouTube or Wistia video may be assigned.

Page Video Example

  Pictured: The result of assigning a video to a page is as you would expect - a video. A YouTube or Wistia video may be assigned.

The result is similar on all other internal pages although the location of the video may vary (the location may obviously be altered in Elementor).

  Locating the Video Assignment Panel

The Page Video assignment panel is found by following the 'Video' icon within the 'Website' module. THe page returned provides a brief index to the primary page video options; select 'Page Content Video'.

Page Video Navigation

  Pictured: The Page Video assignment panel is found by following the 'Video' icon within the 'Website' module. THe page returned provides a brief index to the primary page video options; select 'Page Content Video'.

Select 'Page Content Video'.

  Assigning a Page Video

To assign a video to a page, you should first select your website, then select the video and location. There are more than 50 default locations with more added as they're required.

Yabber Assign Page Video

  Pictured: To assign a video to a page, you should first select your website, then select the video and location. There are more than 50 default locations with more added as they're required.

The result of this assignment is (once again) just a video .

  Sending Page Videos

Before page videos become active, you should update the applicable website.

Yabber Assign Page Video

  Pictured: Before page videos become active, you should update the applicable website. The update is required because Yabber is a multi-website system, and the feature allows you to define all your videos for review before sending.

Once sent, changes become effective immediately.

  Reviewing Page Videos

You may review all videos assigned to each website location via the Review panel. The same panel provides a record of updates made to your website (this update record is archived for compliance, so any video that might have lived on your website at any point in time is maintained in a compliance archive).

  Considerations

If you're using YouTube videos, we recommend changing the Thumbnail that will show by default. It's a good idea to make the thumb consistent with the page - perhaps white (so it blends with the page) with minimal text and branding.

Creating videos shouldn't have to be hard, and they don't have to be perfect. If you try and create a manufacture a great video and it looks ordinary, it will look ordinary... but if you create a 'rustic' video that was clearly shot while out-and-about, it will almost always look excellent. Remember, Instagratify will send videos to YouTube, and the system will apply headings, branding, fade effects, music, and so on - all automatically.

The placement of the default video on each page may be altered to your liking. Edit the relevant page in Elementor.

  Related Video Blocks

Your website includes a large number of ways in which to return video, or assign video to certain hook on your website.

We've shared FAQs that showed you how to create Wistia video customisations, sharing profiles, turnstiles, and postroll CTA profiles (all linked below). This FAQ will show you how to update an individual video or all videos that are part of a project.

  About Wistia

Wistia is a third-party service that provides videos hosting for a monthly subscription. It is quite costly, but the platform does provide for three free videos and we encourage all our users to sign up for this offer.

Wistia provides a large number of integrated video features that enable far greater insights into video performance when compared to platforms such as YouTube, and the level of statistical data returned for each user is significant.

Yabber integrates with Wistia in such a way that we effectively emulate most features of that service. This tight level of connectivity enables features such as the email collection turnstiles (or email capture form 'gates' within a video) to be used for engagement and not just consumption.

This FAQ should be read in company with those listed below since when you're updating a video you'll generally update all of the profiles shown at the same time.

Wistia features may be referenced under this article in the 'Related FAQ' section.

Wistia: You may sign up for a free account on Wistia at Wistia.com . Ensure you follow the FAQ on connecting the API and Webhooks to fully enable all of Yabbers features.

  Wistia Source - Yabber/Wistia or Elementor

In a previous FAQ we detailed how to apply customisations to an embedded Wistia Video. In order for Yabber and/or Wistia options to override the values defined in Elementor, you should navigate your way to the 'Settings' panel and define your preferred source via the 'Website' option.

Elementor or Wistia

  Pictured: In order for Yabber and/or Wistia options to override the values defined in Elementor, you should navigate your way to the 'Settings' panel and define your preferred source via the 'Website' option. Using the Elementor option is one that is typically used by those that do no subscribe to Yabber in any way.

If the source is set to 'Elementor', all Yabber and Wistia options are ignored, and if set to Yabber, all Elementor options are ignored.

Using Yabber profiles and options are obviously preferred since you may globally update all videos as required, and options can be applied without messing around within your website.
