Six things every YouTube account needs — most don’t have.
Format strategy that fits the budget
Skippable in-stream for prospecting, bumpers (6s) for top-of-funnel reach, in-feed for discovery — picked for your stage, not stuffed everywhere.
Custom intent + in-market layering
Audiences built from real Google search behaviour — not generic affinity buckets. We layer in-market + custom intent for tight targeting.
Retargeting into Search + Meta
YouTube viewers cost cents per impression. We retarget the engaged ones into Search and Meta — where conversion intent is already built.
Hook in the first 5 seconds
Skippable means you have 5 seconds before they leave. We brief creative for the hook — pattern interrupts, not corporate intros.
Placement controls
Exclude irrelevant content categories, kid channels, and low-quality placements. Brand safety by default — not by hope.
View-through + click attribution
Most YouTube wins come from view-throughs that convert later. We track both — so the channel gets credit it actually deserves.
YouTube probably needs work if any of these hit.
Six common mistakes we see on Peterborough business YouTube accounts — every one fixable with the right structure.
You think YouTube is too expensive
Skippable in-stream often runs at 1–3¢ per view in Peterborough niches. You're paying CPM, not CPC — and only when people actually watch.
Your video ads have no hook
If the first 5 seconds is a logo and a tagline, viewers skip. We brief creative around an opening pattern interrupt or specific outcome.
Bumpers and in-stream are mixed in one campaign
These are different objectives. Bumpers build reach. In-stream drives action. Mixing them means neither performs cleanly.
You're targeting affinity audiences only
Affinity is broad and noisy. Custom intent (built from search keywords) and in-market are dramatically tighter — and convert.
Brand-safety controls are at default
Default Google placements include kids' channels, MFA sites, and irrelevant verticals. Without exclusions, your spend leaks daily.
Your YouTube doesn't connect to anything
Standalone YouTube is half a strategy. The compound win is YouTube-engaged users retargeting on Search — that's where ROAS lives.
Four steps — strategy to retarget.

Strategy + creative brief
30-min call. We pick formats, audiences, and brief the creative angle. Most accounts need 3–5 video variants for testing.

- 03
Launch + learn
First 14 days are about format winners and audience signal. We move fast on what's working and cut what's not.
- 04
Scale + retarget
Engaged-viewer retargeting layers into Search + Meta. Monthly report with view rates, CPV, CPL, and downstream attribution.
