Common user-generated content FAQs answered by experts

Can UGC videos work for B2B companies?

Yes, UGC videos can work for B2B companies when they show real people solving a real work problem with your product or service.

In B2B, buyers do more homework and loops through more stakeholders, so UGC is less about “viral” and more about trust, clarity, and proof. For many Orlando and Central Florida B2B brands (commercial services, IT, manufacturing, healthcare vendors, professional services), a simple, authentic video can answer the questions that stall deals: “Will this work for a company like ours?”, “What does setup look like?”, and “What happens after we sign?” If you want a quick baseline, our FAQ on what UGC (user-generated content) video is breaks down what counts as UGC and what does not.

What UGC looks like in B2B

B2B UGC does not have to be a random selfie in a bedroom. It can be a customer, a partner, an employee, or a creator filming in a clean, natural style that feels like a peer recommendation. The best B2B UGC usually fits into one of these formats:

  • Problem to outcome: “We struggled with X, then switched, now Y is easier.”
  • Mini case story: one specific result, one specific workflow, no grand claims.
  • Walkthrough or screen recording: what the dashboard, portal, or process looks like in real use.
  • Implementation reality: what day 1, week 1, and month 1 actually involve.
  • Objection handling: “Here’s what we worried about, here’s what happened.”

If you want us to handle concepts, creator selection, filming, and editing, our UGC video production process is built for this kind of trust-first content.

Where B2B UGC works best

We see the strongest performance when B2B UGC is used in more than one place: as a LinkedIn post, a retargeting ad, a landing page proof block, and inside sales emails as a “quick watch” before a call. It also works well on service pages where a prospect is deciding between you and two competitors, because a short customer clip can remove doubt faster than paragraphs of copy.

UGC is also a strong creative option for paid social, especially for cold audiences who do not know your brand yet. When you pair UGC with clean targeting and a simple offer, you can test multiple angles quickly. If you plan to run these videos as ads, our PPC management team builds campaigns that keep the message consistent from the first impression to the lead form.

How to make B2B UGC feel credible

Keep it specific, keep it concrete, and keep it human. We like short videos (often 15 to 45 seconds) with an early hook that names the buyer problem, then a quick “show” moment (screen, workflow, deliverable, before and after), then one proof point, then a clear next step. If you are comparing UGC to influencer content, our FAQ on UGC vs. influencer marketing helps you choose the right lane for your goal.

Compliance and approvals

For B2B, compliance is mostly about truthfulness, permissions, and disclosure. If a creator is paid or gets anything of value (free access, free product, discount), use a clear disclosure like “Paid partnership” or “#ad” that is easy to notice. Get written permission to use the video on your site, in ads, and in sales materials. Avoid guarantees, medical claims, legal promises, or “results will vary” gray areas, especially if you sell into healthcare, finance, or regulated categories. If you want to tie videos to performance, our FAQ on UGC ad metrics that matter explains what we watch when deciding which concepts to produce next.
