A lot of good video content sits on channels that are only half set up. No description, no links, no playlists, every video titled differently, and nothing that points a viewer to the next episode. YouTube cannot recommend what it cannot make sense of, and a viewer who finishes one episode has nowhere obvious to go.

I do not make the videos. I set up everything around them. It is usually a few focused hours of work, and on the Ants Rootslane podcast channel the difference showed within days.

I have set up the social channels for my own products, Vestly.ai and Planly 3D, and I do the same for clients, with YouTube as the main focus.

What's included

  • Channel branding: a banner and profile picture in the same style as your website, so the channel clearly belongs to the same brand.
  • Channel description, contact email and links to your website, booking page, Spotify, Instagram and other channels.
  • Playlists that group your videos, and podcast setup so a series shows up as a podcast on YouTube and YouTube Music.
  • One title format for every video, with the topic first, because the topic is what people search for.
  • A description for every video: a short summary of that episode plus the same set of links.
  • End screens on every video, so viewers move on to another episode instead of leaving.
  • An analytics read-out in plain language: where the views come from, which videos hold attention and what to do next.
  • Monetization guidance: I check whether the channel qualifies for the YouTube Partner Program and walk you through linking AdSense, which you do yourself because your bank details go there.
  • The same groundwork on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or TikTok: profile, bio, links and matching visuals.

How it works

01

Audit

I go through the channel the way a new viewer would and list what is missing: description, links, playlists, titles, end screens.

02

Drafts

I write the channel description, the title format and a description template and send them to you first. Nothing goes live without your OK.

03

Setup

Playlists, podcast setup, titles, descriptions, end screens and the new banner and profile picture, done in YouTube Studio with Manager access, so I never need your password.

04

Follow-up

A few days later I read the Studio numbers, send you a short summary and suggest next steps, such as a thumbnail template, chapters or Shorts.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need my Google password?

No. You add me as a Manager on the channel in YouTube Studio settings. That lets me do the setup, and you can remove the access with one click when the work is done.

Do you make the videos too?

No, I do not film or edit. I work on everything around the videos: the channel, titles and descriptions, playlists, end screens and visuals. That is usually the part that is missing, and it is quick to fix.

How long does it take?

For a channel with around ten videos, about half a day. The Ants Rootslane channel with 9 podcast episodes took 4 hours.

Can you help with monetization?

Yes. I check whether the channel meets the YouTube Partner Program requirements and guide you through the application. You link the AdSense account yourself, because your bank details go there, but I walk you through every step.

What about other platforms?

Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok profiles get the same treatment: consistent visuals, a clear bio and working links. I do the most on YouTube, because it is as much a search engine as a social network, which fits well with my SEO work.
