New Google Gemini Workspace update is insane. Today I'm going to show you the new Google update that turns your slides into videos. No camera, no mic, no editing and here's the wild part for SEO. More videos means more pages.
Google can rank. It's new, it's free and it takes minutes. Stick around because one of these tricks could flood your site with traffic. If you want more SEO traffic this new Google update might be the easiest win you'll get all year and most people are going to miss it.
Hey if we haven't met already I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency Goldie Agency. While he's helping clients get more leads and customers I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates and quick thing before we start Julian Goldie reads every single comment so make sure you comment below. He reads them all. Okay so here's what just happened.
Google just made a big change to a tool called Google Vids and it's a tool most SEO people totally ignore. That's a mistake because video is one of the best ways to feed Google fresh content and now you can make videos with no camera at all. Let me explain. Google Vids used to be a basic video editor.
Now it's a video machine. You take a slide deck, you press a few buttons and out comes a real video with a person talking but that person not real. It's an AI avatar, a digital human that speaks your words and here's the kicker. Anyone with a Google account in the US can now try these AI avatars for free.
That's the news. That's the big one. Google says it's free in the US right now and they're rolling it out to more places in the coming months. Now stay with me because in a minute I'm going to show you how to use this to grow a website and there's one feature near the end that I think is the real game changer for SEO so don't skip.
Let me walk you through what's new. First, slides into videos. You know those long boring slide decks? You can drop one into Google Vids and Vids will build a storyboard, write a script and add an AI presenter that reads it all out.
It does the heavy lifting for you. Why does this matter for SEO? Think about it. Google loves fresh content.
Video keeps people on your page longer. Longer time on page is a signal Google likes. So every slide deck you already have can become a video and every video is a new thing to put on your site, your blog, your YouTube. Here's a real example of how I'd use it.
Say you run a community teaching people about AI automation like the AI Profit Boardroom. You probably already have slides explaining how AI saves people time. Just drop those slides into Vids. Let it build a video.
Now you've got a clean explainer video showing how AI automation helps small businesses. You can put that on your landing page, you can post it on YouTube, you can embed it in a blog post. Same slides, brand new piece of content. And Google now has one more thing to find and rank.
That's the power here. You're turning stuff you already made into fresh content and fresh content is fuel for SEO. Second new thing, the AI presenters themselves. Google bumped the avatar choices way up.
They went from 23 default avatars to 53. That's a big jump. And they come in different styles. Some look like real people, some look like cartoons, some look like a comic book.
You pick the one that fits your brand. And these avatars are powered by Google's newer speech tech, so they sound more natural now, more expression, more real, less robot. Here's a thought. What if your website had a friendly avatar greeting people, explaining what your business does in a short video right at the top?
People watch, people stay, people trust you faster. And that little bit of extra trust, it helps everything, including your rankings. Now here's where it gets really good. And this leads me to something I want to tell you in a second.
Third, 24 languages. This is huge. Your avatar can now speak in 24 different languages, English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Vietnamese, and a whole lot more. Think about what that means for SEO.
Right now, your content probably only ranks in one language, English maybe. But what if you took one video script and made it in 10 languages? Now you can rank in 10 different countries. You can pull in traffic from people who never would have found you.
One script, many languages, many new doors for Google to send people through. Okay, quick pause. If you're sitting there thinking, this is great, but I'm making all this content and still not getting found on Google, then listen up. That's a traffic problem.
And that's exactly what we fix. If you want more traffic, more leads, and more people finding your site, my team can help you climb higher on Google. Book a free SEO strategy session with us. The link is in the comments and the description.
We'll look at your site and show you how to get more eyes on it. Go book that free call, then come right back because the best part is coming up. All right, let's keep going. Fourth, you can now direct the avatars.
This is the one I was teasing. Before, your avatar just stood there and talked. A talking head, fine, but kind of plain. Now, you can direct it like an actor.
You can have your custom avatar move, do things, and interact with objects and products. So instead of person standing and talking, you can do person showing off a product and explaining it. That's a real demo video made with no camera and no studio. Here's how I'd use this.
Let's say you want to show how a piece of AI automation works for a business. You could have your avatar walk through it. Here's the problem most small businesses have. Here's how AI automation fixes it.
Here's the result. A clear, simple demo. The kind of video people actually watch all the way through. And again, more watch time, more content, more chances to rank.
Now, think about a community like the AI Profit Boardroom. You can make a short demo video where the avatar explains exactly what members get, the tools, the help, the community, all explained clearly by a presenter with no filming needed. Drop it on your landing page. That's the kind of content that gets people to take action.
Fifth, branded videos. You can make a custom avatar with your own company look, your logo, your background, so your videos look like your brand, not some generic template. Training videos, welcome videos, demo videos, all branded, all made fast. For SEO, branded video helps you stand out.
When your content looks consistent and professional, people trust it more. They share it more. They link to it more. And links, links are the heart of SEO.
More good links means higher rankings. Now, let me be straight with you on a few things because I don't want you to get surprised. This is free in the US right now, not everywhere yet. Google says more countries are coming over the next few months.
Also, the free version gives you 10 video generations a month. You can split those between avatars and other video clips. So it's free, but there's a limit. Fair enough for testing it out.
And one more thing for honesty, every video made this way has a hidden watermark called Synth ID. That just marks it as AI made. Good to know. So why does all of this matter for you and your SEO?
Here's the big picture. Google is trying to turn every slide, every doc, every presentation into a video. And video is one of the most powerful tools for getting found online. It keeps people watching.
It works on YouTube, which is the second biggest search engine in the world. And it gives you content in many languages. Most SEO people are still only writing blog posts, nothing wrong with blog posts. But while they write, you could be making videos out of the same ideas, more content types, more places to show up, more traffic coming in.
And remember, this stuff is a tool. The tool makes the content, but you still need a plan to get that content found. That's the part most people get wrong. They make great videos and then wonder why nobody sees them.
So let me say it again, because it matters. If you're putting in all this work, making content, but you're not getting the traffic you want, that's where we come in. SEO is how you get found. My team helps businesses climb higher on Google so the right people find you.

Go do that today. Here's my honest take. This Google Vids update is a gift for anyone who wants more content without more work. Slides become videos.
Videos get you found. And right now, the AI avatars are free to try in the US. Don't sleep on this one. Go play with it.
