Are local biz YouTube videos ranking in the UK?

Hi,

I've been doing some looking around recently and am hardly ever seeing videos in the top 10 search results for local business keywords in the UK. When I look at the US, on the other hand, there's loads.

I'm wondering if this is because:

A. videos are still slow catching on in the UK
B. There's some difference in the way video results are ranked

Any thoughts?

Finally, if I want to rank a YouTube video in the top 10 it's currently on page 7 of the SERPs, is it simply a matter of building more backlinks or is there something else I should do?

Cheers!

    I had some videos on page one for a local plumber and hairdresser, but the videos dropped to page 3 about 6 weeks ago. I have not tried any further backlinking or bookmarking etc to improve rankings.

      Hi Philboy,

      Thanks for that - do you think there was any reason for the drop in rankings or was that just because they needed links?

    The videos have quite a lot of links , and their rankings had remained steady, until about six weeks ago, and the rankings dropped, and reading through comments on the forum, it seems I am not the only person to see this - perhaps it was the panda update ?

      Cheers for that - I'll do some more research and see what I can find out.

        Google is weird... but anyway... in my country has the same problems..they may use different "tendencies" (in a lack of word) to generate their results.

        They are constantly changing the way they rank, but nothing that some good backlinks don´t take care off

          I travel to UK often, and I do get some high rankings on my videos there.
