In fact, many of the SEO techniques add even more value to the reader, one example is outbound links to reference material. Another hot topic when it comes to SEO is [Video SEO](https://www.bristolstrategy.com/video-marketing-services). Be sure to include [Structured Data Markup](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/structured_data) along with video you place onto a website page.
