Quick question: When was the last time you updated your YouTube channel? If your answer is “Wait, I have a YouTube channel?” we’ve got a problem. Because while you were busy optimizing your Google Business Profile, YouTube quietly became the second most-cited source in AI search results. That’s right, when people ask AI tools for local recommendations, there's a very real chance the answer comes from a video. And if that video isn't yours, AI is handing business to someone else who did remember to hit record. So yeah… it’s time to dust off the tripod.
Start Thinking Like a YouTuber (Just a Little)
Google’s AI is learning directly from YouTube videos. It listens to what’s said, reads captions, and picks out the most useful info to include in AI answers. So if someone asks, “Who’s the best landscaper near me?” and you’ve got a video called “Top 3 Lawn Care Tips in Austin,” guess what? You’ve just increased your chances of showing up in that AI answer. And since YouTube is owned by Google, your videos get extra attention. Most local businesses still aren’t using YouTube at all, which means if you start uploading even a couple simple, helpful videos (like quick tips, before-and-afters, or service explainers) you’re already ahead. Just keep them short, include your city in the title, and don’t worry about being perfect. This is about showing up, not going viral. But, let me guess.. you have no interest in becoming a YouTuber…
