How this is delivered

Paid placement tuned toward viewers with a history of finishing longer videos. Hours accumulate from real watch sessions.

Promoted watch hours do not count toward YouTube Partner Programme eligibility.

  • You never sign in to YouTube

    Paste a public link. No Google login, no permissions, no access to your private analytics.

  • The price is settled first

    Choose a package or an exact amount and the total is on screen before anything is charged.

  • Delivery is reported, not estimated

    Your order page shows what the provider reports. Where nothing is reported, nothing is shown.

Campaign quality

What the budget is actually spent on

A promotion campaign is mostly targeting decisions. These are the ones that separate a campaign that finds your audience from one that simply spends.

  1. 01

    Audiences matched to the content

    Targeting is built from the subject of the video — topics, interests and the channels a likely viewer already watches — rather than a blanket buy against whoever is cheapest to reach.

  2. 02

    Budget moves toward what converts

    Placements that are performing take more of the budget as the campaign runs. Ones that are not are cut rather than left to finish their allocation.

  3. 03

    Paced rather than dumped

    Delivery is spread across the campaign window. A spike of traffic on a video with no history is both worse value and a worse signal than a steady build.

  4. 04

    Stopped when it is not working

    If a campaign cannot deliver at a sensible cost we pause it and talk to you. The alternative — buying worse placements to hit the number — is how this industry earned its reputation.

9 watch time packages

Campaigns typically run from a few dozen watch hours up to several thousand. Pick a ready-made size or name your own. These are convenient stopping points on one continuous price ladder, not the only sizes available — larger campaigns price lower per hour, and a custom amount is charged at the same rates.

Campaign outcomes are estimates and can vary based on targeting, audience, content, platform conditions and campaign performance.

Ordered amounts are delivery targets we run the campaign toward, not guarantees. Promotion runs as paid placement on YouTube's own advertising surfaces — it is not organic traffic and we do not describe it as such.

Questions

About watch time

Do I need to give you access to my channel?
No. A public link is the whole requirement. We never ask for your Google login, your password or any account permission.
Is the amount I order guaranteed?
No. It is the target the campaign is run toward and the figure delivery is measured against. Placement costs move, and audiences respond differently to different content.
Can I run this on more than one video?
One order points at one link. Run several orders, or take a growth bundle, which runs across the channel and its recent uploads.
