Professional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\">video hosting providers<\/a>, like SproutVideo, can\u00a0furnish you with an array of analytics tools to help.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a brief overview of the metrics that we think will help you <strong>a) judge the success of each video<\/strong>, and <strong>b) create videos that perform better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"plays-and-unique-plays\">Plays (and Unique Plays)<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/d2bhzwsjsidzng.cloudfront.net\/images\/20130301-1.png\" alt=\"Plays Graph\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-is-it\">What is it?<\/h4>\n<p>This metric is pretty self explanatory. The number of plays\u00a0tells you how many people watched\u00a0your video.<\/p>\n<p>Plays are\u00a0different from impressions. An impression occurs when your video is loaded on a webpage.\u00a0Impressions will indicate the number of\u00a0times your video is displayed to a site visitor, whether it\u2019s played or not.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: \u201cUnique\u201d refers to the number of times a brand new user played your video. If the same viewer were to watch the video several times over any period of time, they would only count once towards the unique plays metric.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-does-it-help-you\">How Does It Help You?<\/h4>\n<p>The plays metric makes it simple to determine which of your videos are being watched the most. It helps you nail down what your viewers are looking for so you can produce\u00a0consistently fantastic videos. In the same vein, this metric will also tell you which videos are duds. Hopefully, you can then avoid making similar mistakes in the future.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"high-performance\">High Performance<\/h4>\n<p>Judge performance by comparing the performance of an individual video against the <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/help\/articles\/37-video_analytics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aggregate video analytics<\/a> for your account. Use\u00a0the aggregate analytics as a benchmark. Then, identify\u00a0the videos that are doing significantly better, or worse.<\/p>\n<p>As you track your progress, and take steps to make your videos more engaging, judge performance of videos by increases in plays over time. If you&#8217;re trying to attract new visitors, look at unique plays instead.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"play-rate\">Play Rate<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/d2bhzwsjsidzng.cloudfront.net\/images\/20130301-2.png\" alt=\"Play Rate Graph\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-is-it-1\">What is it?<\/h4>\n<p>The play rate is the percentage of people who see the video on a page and actually click the play button. We calculate this by dividing the number of plays by the number of impressions. If your video was displayed 100 times last week and 50 people watched\u00a0it, your play rate is 50%.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-does-it-help-you-1\">How Does It Help You?<\/h4>\n<p>This metric will help you determine what works in terms of getting people\u2019s attention, and actually getting them to click the play button. Being able to track play rate\u00a0over time allows you to see if changes to your website or video impacts the\u00a0play rate.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the play rate metric allows you to make informed decisions about how your videos are displayed on your site. Is the <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/help\/articles\/53-how_to_set_or_change_the_poster_frame_for_a_video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poster frame eye-catching enough<\/a>? Is the <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-context-for-your-video.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">surrounding text appealing<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>There are some common fixes you can\u00a0try to move the needle on play rate. Make sure your video is prominently displayed on the page, and above the fold. Try <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/help\/articles\/40-how_to_customize_the_embed_code_for_your_video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">auto-playing it<\/a>, changing the poster frame, or adjusting the text on the page. If you include a <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/persuasive-calls-to-action-are-your-videos-benefiting-from-them.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">specific call-to-action<\/a> asking people to watch the video, you might be surprised by how many more people actually will.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"high-performance-1\">High Performance<\/h4>\n<p>The average play rate across every single video on SproutVideo is around 17%. If your videos have a play rate much greater than 17%, you\u2019re probably doing really well.<\/p>\n<p>You may find that your play rate\u00a0is substantially different from the average of our customers\u00a0depending on how you&#8217;re using video. For instance, auto-playing videos are usually close to 100%. Take a look at the aggregate play rate\u00a0for all your videos to see which are performing the best.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"average-engagement-and-engagement-over-time\">Average Engagement and Engagement Over Time<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/d2bhzwsjsidzng.cloudfront.net\/images\/20130301-3.png\" alt=\"Engagement Graph\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-is-it-2\">What Is It?<\/h4>\n<p>Unfortunately, your viewers have busy lives and plenty of things competing for their attention. As a result, they often don\u2019t watch a video to completion. <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/help\/articles\/32-video_engagement_metrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Engagement\u00a0metrics<\/a> tell you how much of the video your viewers have seen. They can also indicate\u00a0the parts viewers skipped, or when they stopped watching.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-does-it-help-you-2\">How Does It Help You?<\/h4>\n<p>If the average drop-off point is early in your video, you can use this to evaluate several elements of\u00a0your video. For instance, consider whether your video is too long, or if certain parts might be a bit dull. Then, you can make edits accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, pay close attention to the videos that people watch all the way through. Try to figure out what you did right \u2014 and keep doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Other elements to test include the <a href=\"https:\/\/musicformakers.com\/stock-music-for-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">music<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/hook-viewers-like-netflix-hit-stranger-things-and-win-at-life.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pacing<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-professional-voiceover-on-the-cheap.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voiceover<\/a> for your video.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"high-performance-2\">High Performance<\/h4>\n<p>The average engagement across all videos uploaded to SproutVideo with over 50 plays is nearly 63.5%. This should help give you a good sense of what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>More important than average engagement, however, is making sure people are actually getting to the important parts of your videos. If most\u00a0viewers are dropping off before you get to your call to\u00a0action, your video is not performing well.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"device-breakdown\">Device Breakdown<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/d2bhzwsjsidzng.cloudfront.net\/images\/20130301-4.png\" alt=\"Device Chart\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-is-it-3\">What Is It?<\/h4>\n<p>This metric breaks down the viewers by what type of device they\u2019re using. For the most part, people either watch on a Desktop or Mobile device. On occasion, you\u2019ll see someone watching from a game console like a Playstation, XBox, or Wii.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-does-it-help-you-3\">How Does It Help You?<\/h4>\n<p>The device breakdown is useful for determining how you should be optimizing your videos. If your audience is primarily on mobile, for instance, responsive video is key. Luckily, <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/video_websites\">SproutVideo websites and landing pages<\/a> are mobile-optimized already. We also offer <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/help\/articles\/40-how_to_customize_the_embed_code_for_your_video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">responsive embed codes<\/a> out of the box to make it easier to cater to mobile viewers.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"high-performance-3\">High Performance<\/h4>\n<p>This depends on the audience you\u2019re targeting with your videos. If you\u2019re targeting a mobile device audience, make sure the percentage of plays on mobile devices is high and vice-versa if you\u2019re targeting desktop audiences.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"geography-breakdown\">Geography Breakdown<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/d2bhzwsjsidzng.cloudfront.net\/images\/20130301-5.png\" alt=\"Map\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-is-it-4\">What Is It?<\/h4>\n<p>This metric tells you from where, in terms of country and region, your viewers are watching your videos.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-does-it-help-you-4\">How Does It Help You?<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in tapping into an international market or increasing your global visibility (and who isn\u2019t these days?), the geography breakdown will help you monitor your progress.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"high-performance-4\">High Performance<\/h4>\n<p>This all depends on where you want your market to be. While many international companies shoot for US visibility, it\u2019s also a benefit for American companies to grow awareness\u00a0internationally. Choose markets that have a gap for your product or service (provided it\u2019s exportable), and <a href=\"ttp:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/seeding-attract-new-customers-in-5-steps.html\">develop your seeding strategy<\/a> to get your video watched in those places.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"domains-breakdown\">Domains Breakdown<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"what-is-it-5\">What Is It?<\/h4>\n<p>This metric tells you where on the web people are watching your videos. Are they engaging from your website? From another site where your video is posted? This feature breaks it down.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-does-it-help-you-5\">How Does It Help You?<\/h4>\n<p>The domains breakdown will tell you whether having your videos available on bigger sites, or in multiple locations, is beneficial to driving views. It will also tell you where on the web your video is getting the most views, info you can use in your <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/seeding-attract-new-customers-in-5-steps.html\">seeding strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"high-performance-5\">High Performance<\/h4>\n<p>The performance of your video in terms of reach (total viewers) is dependent on it being available and attractive on sites with high traffic. Tracking your success in individual domains will help you create a high-performing video.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, you don&#8217;t want to grow your reach. In fact, if security is a big concern, this report can be useful in a very different sort of way. It enables you to ensure your videos aren&#8217;t being shared on websites that don&#8217;t have permission to share your content.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the metrics you use to determine what is and is not a high performing video will depend on the goals of your video campaign. Hopefully these metrics will help get you pointed in the right direction.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you want to test\u00a0these features out for yourself, we offer a free trial of our hosting services.
