Frequently asked questions about YouTube search optimisation
Do you charge for YouTube search optimisation on a fixed-project, hourly or monthly retainer basis?
I don't charge by the hour. My YouTube search optimisation services come in two fixed-price options: a one-off audit for £500, or a monthly retainer at £1,500 per month.
The audit is a fixed project with a clear end result, so you know the full cost up front. The retainer is a monthly fee for ongoing, hands-on work. If you're not sure which suits you, get in touch and I'll recommend one.
How much time and resources will you need from our team during the research phase?
Very little. Before I start, I'll send you a briefing form with questions about your channel, your audience, the topics you cover and your upload schedule. Once you've filled that in, I'll take care of the research and only come back to you if I need access to something or have a question.
How long will it take to see results from YouTube search optimisation?
How long is a piece of string? It depends on the campaign, and it can take anywhere from a few days to several months. Some changes, such as improving the titles, descriptions and thumbnails of existing videos, can make a difference within days. Others, such as growing a channel that ranks for its core topics, take months.
Once I've reviewed your channel, I'll give you a realistic timeline for your situation.
What's the difference between the YouTube search optimisation audit and the monthly retainer?
With the audit, I'll present you with an audit document full of recommendations, which you or your team can then put into action.
The audit covers:
- Channel and playlist audit
- Video title, description and tag review
- Keyword research for YouTube search
- Thumbnail and click-through analysis
With the retainer, I'm hands-on. I'll help with the day-to-day management of your YouTube search optimisation and we'll have regular check-ins to review progress.
On top of everything in the audit, the retainer includes:
- Optimised metadata for every new upload
- Chapters, captions and end screens set up
- Thumbnail A/B testing
- Monthly views and search traffic report
