Like written customer reviews, Google reward your SEO efforts. They will do the same with video and the dilemma for SMEs is: do I want to have my customers leaving reviews on a third party website which is a "use them or lose them" situation or on Google where the reviews are for life plus plus plus. Just my opinion but I would change the business model to fill the space Google and Facebook will be creating - video production. Potentially a very big space if their claim their technology can make videos for 80% less than competitors. Gonna need a bigger safe -

Google does a lot of things, however does not mean they offer the best solution all the time. For example Google also provides satellite images but they are no where in comparison to Nearmap (NEA.ASX) which is why the majority of businesses and councils in Australia use them. They are now even close to breaking even in the US.
