Learn how Paige automatically creates and publishes videos to Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram to help you stand out and win more local SEO traffic.

## Why videos matter (a lot)

Videos are one of the highest-effort pieces of content you can create for local SEO — which is exactly why they work so well. Most businesses don’t take the time to do them.

By enabling videos in Paige, you instantly stand out from the pack while Google rewards you with more visibility.

Paige automatically:

- Uses images from your **Google Business Profile** and images you upload to Paige
- Creates **slideshow-style videos**
- Adds **AI voiceovers** that explain your business using your target keywords
- Publishes those videos for you

* * *

## Where your videos can be published

Paige can publish your videos to:

- Google Business Profile (minimum recommendation)
- YouTube
- Facebook
- Instagram
- LinkedIn

👉 **At the very least**, you should enable publishing to your **Google Business Profile**.

## Why YouTube is extremely important

If you don’t have a YouTube channel yet, you can create one here:
[https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1646861?hl=en](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1646861?hl=en)

You should absolutely allow Paige to publish videos to YouTube because:

- Google gives **massive SEO authority** to businesses that publish on YouTube
- Paige automatically links **back to your website and Google Business Profile** in the YouTube video description
- YouTube is the **second-largest search engine** after Google Search/Maps
- Your competitors are very likely **not** publishing videos there — meaning more leads for you

## Video settings explained

When setting up videos in Paige, here’s what each option does:

**Approvals required**
Choose whether you want to manually approve videos before they publish.

**Opening screen text**
This text appears:

- On the **first slide of the video**
- On the **YouTube thumbnail**

💡 Tip: Add multiple opening screen titles and Paige will rotate between them for each video.

**Ending screen call-to-actions (CTAs)**
​

These appear:

- On the **final slide**
- Spoken out loud in the voiceover

Use your main CTAs here, like:

- “Call now”
- “Book an appointment”
- “Visit our website”

**Voice selection**
You can choose from multiple AI voice-over options.

- Click the **play icon** to preview each voice
- It’s recommended to select **at least 4 voices**
- Paige will rotate between them for variety

## Generate your video

Once everything looks good:

1. Click **Save and Generate**
2. Paige will create the video in about **30 seconds**

When it’s ready, you’ll see a **pencil icon** in the bottom-right corner which will allow you to edit it if needed.

* * *

## Editing your video

Click the pencil icon to open the video editor. From here, you can change:

- The **order of the images**
- The **YouTube video title**
- The **starting screen text**
- The **ending screen text**
- The **voice-over narration**

⚠️ Important:

- Once you **download** a video, it can no longer be edited again
- As you add or remove images, Paige automatically adjusts timing to stay under **Google’s 45-second video limit**
- The preview is **low-resolution**, but published videos appear in full quality using your uploaded images

* * *

## Image requirements (very important)

- Paige requires **at least 4 images** to create a video
- Paige will use **up to 10 images** per video
- To keep videos generating consistently, make sure you’re **regularly uploading new images** to Paige

* * *

## Customizing narration & pronunciation

You can fully control how Paige writes scripts and pronounces words using the **“Train Paige”** feature at the top of this tab.

Example:
If something is being pronounced incorrectly, add a note like:

“Instead of writing Merchynt, write Merchant”

This changes the script that’s sent to the AI voiceover so it’s spoken correctly.

Once you’ve enabled videos and saved your settings, Paige takes it from there — creating, publishing, and rotating videos automatically to build authority, visibility, and leads 🚀
