How the campaign works: from link to launch.
Here’s exactly what happens after you hit “Promote my video.”
You send the basics.
Your video release status, YouTube link if available and genre. Choose automatic setup and we’ll select the countries and audience for you, or use manual controls to add similar artists and define the audience yourself. Takes about 5 minutes.
We build and launch.
We create audiences around your genre and similar artists. Low-quality channels excluded. Launch after approval and your permitted start date.
We run and improve it daily.
We watch the numbers every day, cut what doesn’t work, and push your budget where real viewers respond.
You get the report.
A plain-language report explaining what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d do next.
Real campaigns, real numbers.
Nela Pocisková · “Prvá posledná”
After maternity leave, Nela Pocisková, one of Slovakia’s best-known singer-actresses, began a new chapter in her own music. “Prvá posledná” was the second single from that return. We launched targeted YouTube Ads campaigns around its release.
With 300€ total, the campaigns generated 64,655 real, verifiable views. The average viewer stayed for 2:45 of the 3:53 video, around 71% of the full song. People didn’t just see it. They stayed and listened.
Cheap clicks aren’t viewers.
We tested it with a real artist: Facebook and Instagram ads brought a flood of clicks at a cent or two each. The ad dashboard looked fantastic, yet almost none of those clicks became actual views in YouTube Studio. The same artist on YouTube Ads was a different world: real, counted views from people who kept watching. That’s why Songado promotes music where music actually gets watched, on YouTube itself.
FB/IG ads deliver clicks to YouTube, not music video views. In our tests, cent-cheap clicks barely registered in YouTube Studio.
Cheap “view packages” are bots. They can make your channel look worse, not better.
DIY falls short: YouTube’s “Promote” button runs broad default targeting, and doing Google Ads properly takes real time.

Who is Songado for? Artists with a video worth watching.
This is for you if
- You have a finished music video or live session on YouTube.
- You’re releasing now or released recently.
- You want real exposure without learning Google Ads.
- You’d rather spend 100€ on a real campaign than 100€ on boosted posts.
This is not for you if
- You’re looking for guaranteed view counts or overnight virality.
- You want the cheapest possible numbers regardless of where they come from.
- Your video isn’t on YouTube.
It works for emerging artists, too.
Peter Leto · “Nečakám”
Peter Leto came to Songado with a new single and no ads experience. For 200€ total we ran a targeted YouTube Ads campaign for his music video in Slovakia. It brought 17,600 real views, and every one of them shows in his YouTube Studio under the advertising traffic source, exactly as in the screenshot.
That view duration beat the average of viewers who found Peter’s music through YouTube search, a sign the ads reached people who actually wanted to listen, not people who clicked by accident.
“Songado helped me get my new single in front of the right audience without having to manage the advertising myself! For just 200€, the campaign generated over 17,000 targeted views. What impressed me most was the quality of the engagement - they actually listened to the music. I’m very happy with the results.”

Marketing expertise, with music at its heart.
Songado is run by Mojo, its founder: a performance marketer with 10+ years and $5M+ in managed ad spend, and a musician himself. He watched musician friends pour enormous energy into writing songs, then even more energy and money into making the music video. In the end, they would post it on their social profiles, where it reached roughly 300 close friends and acquaintances. The song and video rarely travelled any further. Songado was built to change that.
Every campaign is personally prepared in an official Google Ads account with targeting based on similar artists and genres and low-quality channels excluded. You receive a clear report, and you can check every view in your own YouTube Studio.
How to verify our work in your own YouTube Studio →The honest part.
We don’t promise fame, virality, playlist placements, label attention, subscriber counts or fixed view numbers. Nobody honest can. Views and costs depend on your video, your genre and your audience.
What we do promise: a properly built campaign, 100% of the stated ad spend invested through Google Ads, launch after approval and your permitted start date, and results you can verify yourself.
Fair questions, straight answers.
Are these real views?
Yes. Your campaign runs exclusively through Google Ads, YouTube’s official advertising system. Every view is counted by Google and visible in your own YouTube Studio under “Traffic source: Advertising.” We never use bots, view panels or third-party traffic, under any circumstances.
How do I verify the views in YouTube Studio?
Open YouTube Studio → Analytics for the promoted video → “Traffic source”. Campaign views appear under “Advertising”, counted by YouTube. To follow the numbers while the campaign is running, you can optionally link your YouTube channel to our Google Ads account through Google’s official permissions. After you request a campaign, we’ll email you a short tutorial video and written steps. If you skip the link, you’ll still receive the complete report and the campaign traffic will still appear under “Advertising” in YouTube Studio.
How many views will I get?
The order form shows an estimate for your budget and market. The Slovakia & Czechia range comes from our own campaigns so far, other markets are extrapolated, and costs differ a lot by country. It’s an estimate, not a promise. In your report you’ll see precisely how many views your budget bought and what each one cost, so you can decide with real data whether to scale.
What exactly counts as a “view”?
We use Google’s paid-view definition: a view is counted only when someone chooses to watch at least 30 seconds of your video (or the whole thing, if it’s shorter), or clicks through to it. Since music videos run well past 30 seconds, every counted view is someone actually listening, not an impression, not an accidental tap.
How is this different from YouTube’s own “Promote” button?
Same ad system, very different craft. The Promote button runs your video with broad, automatic targeting. We build targeting around similar artists, genres and topics, and use placement exclusion lists to remove low-quality channels.
What do I need to provide?
Your video release status, a YouTube video link if available and your genre. With automatic setup, that is all we need. With manual controls, add at least one similar artist and choose countries, cities, age ranges, genders and targeting groups.
Do I need a Google Ads account?
No. The campaign runs in our professional account. You receive a complete campaign report and can verify the traffic in your own YouTube Studio.
Can you target specific countries?
Yes. You choose the countries; typical campaigns focus on 1–3 markets so the budget isn’t spread too thin.
How much should I spend on ads?
You decide. The smallest starter is 50€ of ad spend plus a 50€ fee (100€ subtotal). From 100€ through 900€ of ad spend, our service fee stays a flat 100€. Campaigns from 1,000€ of ad spend are planned individually after a short conversation. NSDL Limited is not VAT registered; no VAT is added. More budget means more reach and better data. If you’re unsure, start small and scale after you see your first report.
Will I get subscribers?
Views campaigns usually bring some subscribers naturally, but we don’t promise counts, because nobody honest can. If subscribers are your main goal, email us at the address in the footer and ask about our separate Subscriber Campaign. It retargets people who already watched your video and invites them to subscribe. It works best as a follow-up to a views campaign.
What happens when the campaign ends?
The campaign stops automatically after the selected duration. There are no auto-renewals or surprise charges. Automatic setup chooses a suitable campaign length based on your budget. With manual controls, campaigns can run for 7, 14, 21 or 28 days, depending on the ad spend. You receive your report within 48 hours after the campaign ends.
Is this safe for my channel?
Completely. Google Ads is YouTube’s own system, used by every major label. It cannot get your channel flagged, unlike bot services, which can.
What if I’m not happy?
Before launch, you can cancel for a full refund. After launch, we return unused ad budget and the unearned part of the service fee: 50% covers completed setup and launch, while 50% covers management in proportion to the days actually delivered. Properly spent ad budget is not refundable. If we make a mistake, we refund the affected service, up to the full fee for a substantial failure. A replacement campaign is optional. See our refund terms; mandatory consumer rights still apply.
Do you target only fans of my reference artists?
Reference artists help us understand your sound. We use relevant artist keywords, genres, topics and available YouTube placements, and may include related artists to find suitable listeners. These are targeting references, not access to an artist’s private fan list or a guarantee that every viewer is their fan.
Will each country receive the same number of views?
No. Your selected countries define where the campaign may run. Google distributes delivery according to available inventory, cost and viewer response. Views and spend will differ by country. Tell us before launch if you require separate country budgets so we can agree a suitable setup.
Can I judge the campaign after the first few hours?
The first hours provide limited data and delivery can be uneven. We review results as data accumulates and optimize during the campaign. Early figures are not the final outcome, and optimization does not guarantee a particular result.
Can I change the video or pause the campaign?
Email hello@songado.com with your Order ID. A replacement video needs a new setup check and may need a new Google Ads review, which can move the launch date. A pause request takes effect when the campaign is actually paused; delivery may continue until then. We confirm the pause and reconcile actual ad spend before agreeing any full or partial refund under our Terms.
What will my campaign report contain?
Your report covers your campaign: dates, ad spend, impressions, paid video views, view rate, cost per view and available country and audience breakdowns. Google Ads campaign metrics and YouTube Studio totals can differ in timing and definitions. We share your campaign’s results without exposing other customers’ campaigns or giving access to our entire advertising account.
