How Video hosting usage is detected

Methodology

Company data

Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.

Detection

Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.

Freshness

Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most-used Video hosting among UK B2B companies?
YouTube is the most-detected Video hosting among UK B2B companies, with 95% share (14,565 of 15,325 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Wistia (4.3%) and Vidyard (1.1%).
How many UK B2B companies have a detectable Video hosting?
15,325 of 112,345 actively-trading UK B2B companies (13.6%) have a Video hosting detectable from their public website. The remainder either run systems with no public web footprint or none at all, so detected share figures are a conservative floor.
What is a Video hosting?
A video hosting system stores, streams and embeds video so UK B2B companies can publish clips on websites, landing pages and campaigns without hosting the files themselves. It typically supports marketing videos, product explainers, webinars, recruitment content and customer education, with playback handled outside the company’s own web infrastructure.
How is Video hosting usage detected?
Firmbase crawls the public website of every actively-trading company in this scope and fingerprints the technologies present — scripts, widgets, booking and checkout flows. A company is attributed to a system when that system's signatures are found; systems with no public web footprint are not attributable, which is why every share figure on this page means share of companies with a detectable system.
Which has more UK B2B companies, YouTube or Wistia?
YouTube: 14,565 detected companies versus 662 for Wistia, of the 15,325 UK B2B companies with a detectable Video hosting.
What is the best Video hosting for UK B2B companies?
This page reports observed usage rather than recommendations, so the “best” video hosting system depends on company size, marketing workflow and control requirements.
