Shorts, in-stream and Demand Gen give you the cheapest attention in digital — if the creative is built for skip behaviour and the measurement doesn't lean on last click.
YouTube is the most underused performance channel in most accounts, largely because it's judged on last-click and fails that test by design. Run properly, it's a demand engine that lowers blended CAC across every other channel. We build video assets around skip behaviour — the first five seconds decide everything — then measure the channel on incremental lift and branded search rather than the conversion column.
YouTube doesn't lose the last-click argument because it doesn't work. It loses because last click was never the right question.

Cheap attention with no measurement plan is how brands convince themselves video doesn't work.

Hook-first edits, vertical Shorts cuts and multiple length variants from a single shoot, so testing doesn't require a new production budget each time.
Campaign types matched to the job: Demand Gen for feed-style prospecting, in-stream for reach and recall, Shorts for cheap incremental attention.
Brand lift and conversion lift studies where volume allows, geo holdouts where it doesn't, plus branded search tracking as a continuous proxy.
The same assets get published, chaptered and transcribed on your channel and site, where they earn organic visibility and become citable material for AI answers.
We can promise this because our methodology already works. Hundreds of pages now sit in position #1 across our clients' catalogs. The risk shouldn't be on you — it's on us.
No. The best-performing YouTube performance assets are usually simple, direct and shot cheaply. What matters is hook discipline and volume of variants, not production value.
Demand Gen serves image and video across YouTube feeds, Shorts, Discover and Gmail with conversion-oriented bidding and audience signals rather than keywords. It behaves much more like paid social than traditional in-stream.
With a lift study or a geo holdout, agreed before we start. If the incremental read isn't there after a fair test, we say so and move the budget.
Paid media management runs $6,500–$14,500 per month depending on spend and channel count; a one-off paid media audit is $4,500. We don't take a percentage of spend — that model rewards us for spending more of your money, not for making it work.
Always. Accounts, pixels, conversion data, creative files and audiences stay in your business manager under your ownership. We work inside your accounts as a partner, so if we part ways you keep every asset and every day of learning history.
Implement our 90-day plan and if the agreed leading indicators don't move within 3–6 months, we refund our fees in full. The guarantee covers our fee, not your ad spend — no agency can guarantee auction outcomes, and anyone who does is guessing.
Three layers, in order. First, entity clarity: one canonical Organization with @id anchors, sameAs links to authoritative databases, and knowsAbout coverage of your real expertise. Second, extractable content: atomic answer blocks, comparison tables, transparent pricing and specs, and FAQ blocks on every commercial page. Third, corroboration: mentions in the roundups, directories, review platforms, and trade publications those engines retrieve. Measure it by probing a fixed set of buying questions monthly and tracking citation frequency per engine.
Citability. AI engines lift passages that answer one question completely in 40–80 words, in plain language, with a concrete number, definition, or list. Pages that bury the answer under narrative rarely get quoted. We rewrite key pages so every important question has a self-contained answer block, wrapped in schema that labels what it is.
Yes, because AI answers are built from indexed pages. Every major assistant retrieves from a crawled index, so pages that aren't crawlable, renderable, or structured never enter the candidate pool. Classic SEO is now the entry requirement for AI visibility, and the two programs share almost all of the same work.
Technical recovery and on-page work typically show movement in 30–60 days. AI citation lift on long-tail and comparison queries usually lands in 30–90 days. Category-level authority and head-term rankings are a 6–12 month curve. Every engagement ships a sequenced 90-day plan so early wins fund the long work.
You get a forensic audit, a prioritized 90-day execution plan with effort and impact scoring, and optional done-for-you implementation by our engineers and editors. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on catalog size, locale count, and whether you want execution included. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see results in 3–6 months, we refund you in full.
Audits scoped within 24 hours. Results within 90 days, or your money back.
