Helcim maintains a steady video presence on social, with YouTube serving as its primary distribution channel and Instagram playing a supporting role. Its content mix is led by product and insight-focused videos, suggesting an emphasis on educating merchants while demonstrating platform capabilities. Customer stories also make up a meaningful part of the strategy, helping balance functional messaging with proof from real users. Brand-led content appears less frequently, while event, recruitment, and several major social channels are not active parts of the video mix.

Helcim website
Website video analysis
Video plays a meaningful role in Helcim’s most important brand and commercial experiences. The homepage, Smart Terminal page, pricing page, product tour, and careers page use it to demonstrate products, explain value, share merchant perspectives, and present company culture.
The approach becomes less consistent outside those areas. Some product and customer-story pages include video only later in the experience, while the reviewed resource content does not use video at all.
Overall, Helcim has a strong foundation but concentrates video in a relatively narrow set of pages. Expanding useful explainers, demos, and customer stories across the broader content library would create a more consistent and engaging website experience.

Strengths
Helcim makes video an immediate part of the homepage experience, using product-focused content to create a strong first impression. The Smart Terminal page and product tour also give video a prominent role in helping visitors understand and explore the offering. Pricing explainers, merchant stories, and culture-focused videos add useful support across conversion and recruitment experiences.
Weaknesses
The resource library is the clearest weakness, with the reviewed guides relying entirely on static articles and imagery. Video use is also inconsistent across product and customer-story pages, leaving several experiences without any video support. When videos do appear on these pages, they are often placed deeper in the content instead of shaping the opening narrative.
Opportunities
Helcim could add short, practical explainers to its resource library to complement detailed written guides. It could also use demos more consistently across product pages and bring relevant videos closer to the top of each page. Customer stories would benefit from more merchant videos placed earlier, giving visitors a quicker and more engaging view of real-world outcomes.
Key takeaway
Helcim uses video effectively across several high-value brand, product, pricing, and recruitment experiences. Its strongest placements appear early and help visitors understand products, hear from merchants, or get a feel for the company culture. The next step is to extend this approach across educational resources and the product and customer-story pages that still depend mainly on static content.
Video usage on key pages:
View methodology
Helcim makes video a strong part of its homepage, key product experiences, pricing, product tour, and careers pages, using it for demos, merchant stories, explainers, and culture content. Coverage is less consistent across product and customer-story pages and absent from resources, making educational video the clearest opportunity to extend its otherwise strong video approach.
