What's included in channel growth
Six work directions, each can be ordered separately or in combination. Strongest effect – when they work together.
YouTube SEO
Optimisation of title, description, tags, transcript, thumbnails, cards. Channel structure, playlists, cross-linking between videos.
Retention and CTR
Hooks (first 30 seconds), video rhythm, A/B tests of titles and thumbnails, retention graphs, viewer drop-off points.
Data-driven content plan
Topics from real demand, publication schedule, series and playlist formats. Not «guessing», data-based decisions.
Competitor parsing
Data collection by niches, keywords, competitor videos and channels. Finding growth points and undercovered topics.
AI for production
Claude/ChatGPT for scripts, descriptions, translations. Midjourney for thumbnail drafts. Parsing and analytics via API.
Work formats and timelines
I work with three base formats. You can start with a one-off audit, then decide based on results.
| Format | When it fits | What's included | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel audit | Want to understand what's wrong and where growth points are. | Channel review, report on 30+ metrics, 30-day plan. | 3-5 days |
| Basic optimisation | Channel exists, videos are okay, but views are low. | SEO of 10-20 old videos, new content plan, thumbnails. | 1-2 weeks |
| Full growth program | Serious about growing the channel and monetising. | Full cycle: strategy, SEO, content optimisation, analytics, support. | from 1 month |
| AI video translation | Want to enter other language markets. | Transcription, subtitle translation, title/description localisation via AI. | 2-5 days / video |

How I work
Transparent process with concrete result checkpoints. No «growing forever» – specific steps and deadlines.
Channel audit
I go through the channel on a 30+ metrics checklist: video SEO, retention, CTR, content, traffic sources, publication rhythm.
Strategy and plan
What we implement first, what within a month, where the highest growth potential is. We agree – then work.
SEO implementation
Optimising 10-20 old videos + new videos with proper structure from start. Thumbnails, titles, descriptions.
Content and tests
A/B testing titles and thumbnails, new formats, YouTube native tests. Watching what works, doubling down.
Analytics and iterations
Every 2 weeks – metrics report, what we change next. The channel is a live project – we grow it regularly.
Related services
YouTube works well linked with a website and automation: channel brings subscribers, site converts to clients.
Frequently asked questions
Not finding yours? Message me on Telegram – I respond with specifics.
What does YouTube SEO include?
Optimisation of title, description, tags, transcript (subtitles), thumbnails, cards, end screens, channel description and playlists. Also – work on channel structure, cross-linking between videos, optimisation for YouTube search and recommendations. Not a one-time step but ongoing work: every new video should be optimised.
How long until channel growth?
Depends on the current channel state and niche. If the channel was «abandoned» – the first effect of SEO-optimising old videos is visible in 2-4 weeks (30-100% view growth). Stable organic subscriber growth – from 2-3 months of regular publications. No promises of «overnight rocket growth».
Which channels can't be promoted?
Channels in oversaturated niches without a unique angle. Channels with low video/audio quality – base must be solved first. Channels with serious YouTube rule violations – account health must be restored first. I'll honestly say «not taking it» if I see effect will be minimal.
Can a new channel be promoted?
Yes, and often easier than «healing» an old one. New channels have an advantage – YouTube actively tests them on small audiences. The key – correct structure from day one: proper tags and descriptions, unified thumbnail style, clear theme. Then first videos already work for SEO.
Do you use AI for content?
Yes, AI is a modern tool in YouTube work. I use Claude/ChatGPT for script generation, ideas, descriptions and translations. Midjourney and DALL-E – for thumbnail drafts. I prep drafts and analytics; the final voice and delivery stay with you.
Do you guarantee subscribers or views?
No, and no one really can. No agency controls YouTube algorithms or niche competition. I guarantee quality work by checklist. The rest depends on regularity and video quality. My experience: 1.4M views on one of my channels.
Can you work with a channel in another language?
Yes. I work with channels in Russian, English, German, Polish. I know each market's specifics. Translating existing videos via AI is a separate service that opens the old catalog to new audiences.
Where do I start?
Best option – a free SEO-review of the channel. Send a link, I'll go through the checklist: what's weak in SEO, where retention drops, which topics are undercovered. PDF with concrete plan within 24 hours.
