Instagram Vs TikTok: Why Insta will be Prioritizing Videos Over Photos

Businesses are always interested in adopting the latest marketing trends to increase the leads generated and branding. In the last few years, people are spending more time online watching videos. This is because most people prefer to watch videos instead of reading text. Hence businesses are investing more money in video production. Most videos are for marketing, customer support, and branding. Let’s discuss some of the indications of the increasing popularity of videos online and their use in marketing.

Competition Between Platforms

One of the best indications that short videos are becoming popular is that Instagram recently announced that they will be prioritizing videos over photos. Instagram refers to these short videos as Reels. Instagram has noticed the rapid increase in the user and advertiser base of TikTok. In brief, TikTok is a short video-sharing app. Within the United States in the last year, TikTok amassed a large number of users who are less than thirty years old. Other popular social media networks have also announced their short video platform to match the growing popularity of Tik Tok. Including Youtube promoting Shorts and Twitter promoting Fleets.

Improving SEO Through Videos

Having viral videos promoting a product or service will also help in search engine optimization (SEO) for the business website. Increasingly for many keywords, the search engines are showing videos first in their search results. Thus having a popular video for the keyword can greatly help in SEO.
