I agree that you must identify who you are and the geographic location so viewers know it. On the flip side, there are many good video production companies that do exactly what you suggest. Bottom line: Include your location and name of your company. That's crucial. Oh yes...one more thing. Tell your video production company to take their logo off your video. You're the one promoting your product or service. Did your video company pay you for the right to advertise ON YOUR video? I don't think so. Thanks for taking the time to write!

It seems that using video production companies is a very bad idea, especially for the syndication of the video. On Real Estate Appraiser Tips, I reviewed a video of a commercial appraiser from Florida who hired a local video production company. I thought the video was well done, not as formal as the attorney videos in your post. The appraiser's video was of him walking through his neighborhood pointing out challenges to their market, building on his local trust agent identity. There were some issues with the sound that could have been better. But, the major problem was that no where in the video did it state the Town and State (Location), appraiser's company name, phone number, contact information or website link. This could have been an appraiser from anywhere in the U.S.. This guy paid hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to be on YouTube, but we still don't know where he's from or how to contact him, even after my review. The best videos you make and syndicate are the ones you do yourself. Bill Cobb Very good questions to be asking.
