What we do for your channel
The work, from the first review of your channel to tracking where it stands against YouTube’s requirements.

A look at your channel and videos to find what holds them back. The first review is free.

Titles, descriptions and tags written so YouTube search can match your videos to the people looking for them.

What to make next, based on what your audience searches for and watches.

A clear picture of what successful channels in your niche are doing, so you can create smarter content.

Monetization progress

About monetization
YouTube decides. We help you get there.
Monetization depends on meeting YouTube’s Partner Program requirements, and YouTube reviews every channel before it accepts it. No one can promise you a date or a result, so we don’t.
What we can do is grow the things YouTube looks at, real watch time and real subscribers, and show you where your channel stands. YouTube’s own Partner Program overview lists the current requirements.

YouTube Channel Growth FAQs
YouTube Growth
Can you guarantee my channel gets monetized?
No. YouTube decides who joins the Partner Program, based on its own requirements and policies. We help you work toward them while building a real audience.
What does a channel need to join the YouTube Partner Program?
As of October 2026, YouTube’s Partner Program overview lists two ways to reach full eligibility: 1,000 subscribers with 4,000 qualified watch hours in the last 12 months, or 1,000 subscribers with 10 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days. From February 1, 2027, YouTube’s Changes to the YouTube Partner Program page raises the bar for new applicants to 1,000 subscribers with 8,000 qualified watch hours in the last 365 days, or 20 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days; channels already in the program keep their status. Meeting a threshold doesn’t mean automatic entry: YouTube reviews every channel against its monetization policies.
How much does YouTube channel growth cost?
We quote once we know what your channel needs, and the channel review that tells us is free. See all our published prices.
How is this different from SEO?
It applies the same idea to YouTube: matching your videos to what people search for and watch. For your website, see our SEO services.
