YouTube integrations
We organize integrations with YouTube bloggers: channel selection, audience checking, agreeing the format (pre-roll/in-video integration/special episode), brief, placement, evaluation. Honestly and bluntly upfront: video reach and views ≠ sales; specific reach is not guaranteed (depends on the video and the algorithm). And critically: we check channels for inflation. We account for YouTube being throttled in the RF. Integrations are labeled as advertising. Without promises of views and sales.
YouTube integrations — overview
YouTube integrations is placing advertising with YouTube bloggers: selecting relevant channels, checking audience reality (views, engagement, dynamics, inflation), choosing the format (pre-roll/mid-roll, in-video integration, review, special episode), a brief and agreeing the presentation with the author, output control, evaluation. The work: selection/checking, format, brief, placement, evaluation. Honestly about 'views/reach ≠ sales', this is key: an integration gives reach, attention, trust through the author, but a view does not equal a sale — sales depend on the product, offer, landing, audience match. 'We do an integration and there will be sales' = a lie. Honestly about 'reach is not guaranteed': video views accumulate over time and are unpredictable (depend on the topic, author, recommendation algorithm); N views cannot be guaranteed; an integration in an old video may 'trickle in' for a long time. Honestly about 'checking for inflation': there are channels with inflated views/bots; we check (dynamics, sources, engagement) and do not place in dubious ones. Honestly about availability: in the RF YouTube is throttled — reach to a Russian audience may be lower; we will honestly account for geo/audience. Honestly about 'the author decides the presentation': the blogger integrates the ad in their own style; a rigid 'ad' script often works worse and is rejected. Honestly about 'ad labeling': integrations are labeled as advertising per the law/rules; we do not do hidden advertising. Honestly about transparency: the blogger's fee ≠ our commission. Honestly about the effect: it selects and checks YouTube channels, organizes integrations with ad labeling, giving reach/attention/trust, but this is not a guarantee of views/sales; reach is not guaranteed; in the RF YouTube is throttled; we check for inflation; a view ≠ a sale. Honestly about access: a budget/fees, an offer, a landing are needed. An important boundary: this is integrations with YouTube bloggers (influencer); YouTube Ads — 455; managing your own channel — 478; blogger selection — 509. The base price starts from 30,000 ₽ for selecting/organizing an integration (the blogger's fee is separate).

FAQ
Does an integration guarantee views and sales?
No, honestly: video views accumulate over time and are unpredictable (topic, author, recommendation algorithm) — N views cannot be guaranteed; and a view ≠ a sale (depends on the product, offer, landing). We honestly select relevant authors and increase the chances, without guarantees of figures and sales.
How do you choose channels?
By relevance and audience reality, honestly: we check views, engagement, dynamics and signs of inflation (bots, inflated views) and do not place in dubious channels. Plus we account for YouTube being throttled in the RF — reach to a Russian audience may be lower.
Can an integration be made as unmarked advertising?
No, honestly: integrations are labeled as advertising per the law/rules — hidden advertising violates requirements and undermines trust in the author. Plus the blogger integrates the ad in their own style, and a rigid 'ad' script often works worse. We make honest integrations with a label.
