Title

This is where you enter the name of your company. Long sentences do not make the best titles. Keep this short as it represents the name of your business. When people google your business, your listing may appear on Google’s search engine results page. Lastly, by keeping your title clear and concise, you’ll enhance your SEO (search engine optimization) and link juice.

Location, location, location

Next comes the description. Start with the who, what, when, where and possible why. A great listing reveals a lot in only a few words. After reading a few sentences, visitors should know if your company suits their needs. Begin with your location and inform readers about the surrounding areas you serve. Canada is a big country and many video production companies are mobile. If you travel to neighbouring cities, write about how far you’re willing to go and what extra fees are involved. You do not need to reveal price however most visitors understand reasonable travel expenses.
