Is there an alternative to YouTube without ads?

Yes. Vimeo, Wistia, Vidyard, SproutVideo and other business video hosting platforms offer ad-free website embeds. The tradeoff is that they don't necessarily provide the same search and discovery opportunities as YouTube.

Is YouTube or Vimeo better for embedding videos on a business website?

It depends on your goal. Vimeo gives businesses greater control over the player and an ad-free viewing experience. YouTube may be preferable when search visibility and discovery are priorities. Testing by Sterling Sky found that Google video traffic dropped when a client's YouTube embed was replaced with Vimeo and returned when YouTube was restored.

Should I embed YouTube videos on my business website?

In many cases, yes. We particularly like YouTube for educational videos, demonstrations, FAQs and videos featuring first-hand expertise that have value beyond the page where they're embedded. For conversion-focused or private videos, a dedicated business video host may make more sense.
