YouTube Marketing Ads Training & Management

YouTube Organic Marketing & YouTube Ads Training for SMEs

Turn YouTube into a dependable engine for reach, trust, and revenue.
This page covers three complementary programmes designed for UK SMEs: YouTube Organic Marketing Training (build a channel that earns attention consistently) YouTube Ads Training (plan, produce, and optimise video campaigns that convert) and YouTube Ads Management.

Our YouTube training can delivered online or face to face and 1-to-1 or 1-to-many

Face to Face training can be at your premises across the UK or a hired venue near Lincoln. You’ll leave with templates, checklists, and an action plan your team can run the next working day.

YouTube Organic Marketing Training (Channel Growth, Content System & Analytics)

Make YouTube work without ads by mastering channel setup, series design, thumbnails/titles, and retention.
Organic YouTube is the most durable content investment most SMEs can make. Done right, one video can educate prospects for years, compound search visibility, and become sales enablement your team re-uses daily. We’ll help you design a sustainable publishing system that builds authority and turns views into enquiries.

Outcomes you can expect

• A conversion-ready channel: brand visuals, playlists, metadata and “Start here” paths that convert viewers into subscribers and clicks.
• A repeatable content series mapped to buyer questions (education, case studies, comparisons, pricing, implementation, FAQs).
• Thumbnails and titles that earn clicks ethically – no clickbait, just strong clarity & curiosity.
• Retention-first scripting so more viewers finish videos, subscribe, and take action.
• A workflow your team can sustain: batch planning, filming, editing, and publishing without draining calendars.
• Clear analytics and a weekly routine to decide what to make next.

What we’ll implement (deliverables)

1. Channel audit & setup: branding, About text (value + proof + CTA), links, handles, custom URL; playlists, sections, end screens, cards, chapters.
2. Series framework: 3–5 evergreen series (e.g., “How it works”, “Buyer’s Guide”, “Case Proof”, “Comparisons”, “Myth-busting”, “Pricing Explained”).
3. Scripting templates: hook frameworks (problem → promise → proof → path), objection handling, demo beats, and CTAs that feel helpful.
4. Thumbnail toolkit: layout guidelines, visual hierarchy, safe zones, short text overlays, and a quick A/B process.
5. Publishing SOPs: file naming, version control, captions/subtitles, accessibility (contrast, readable fonts), upload checklist, and metadata conventions.
6. Analytics tracker: retention curve, average view duration, CTR, impressions, end-screen clicks, subscribers gained per video, profile/site actions and how to interpret each.
7. 90-day plan: a realistic calendar (e.g., bi-weekly long-form + weekly Shorts) and a “keep/kill/iterate” review rhythm.

Curriculum (tailored to your business)

1. Foundations & Channel Conversion

• Home layout, Featured video, “Start here” playlist, About page CTAs, contact links.
• Playlists as mini funnels (problem → solution → proof); end screens that move viewers forward.

2. Content Strategy & Series Design

• Topic mining from sales calls, support tickets, search trends, competitor gaps.
• Series architecture: how to plan seasons, not one-offs; content that stacks authority.

3. Scripting & Production

• Open strong: first 5–10 seconds clarity, pattern breaks, visual proof early.
• Filming with phones: framing, lighting, audio basics; b-roll and on-screen text that lifts retention.
• Editing rhythm: cut filler, add structure cues, chapter hooks.

4. Thumbnails & Titles

• “Thumbnail first” thinking; curiosity vs clarity; matching the promise to the content.
• CTR diagnostics and when to re-thumbnail.

5. Publishing, Governance & Accessibility

• Upload checklist (captions, tags, description order, links, chapters).
• Brand safety, comment moderation, community posts, and crisis comms.
• Copyright, music licensing, UGC usage rights.

6. Analytics & Iteration

• What to check weekly: CTR, retention, top moments, traffic sources, end-screen flow.
• Monthly retro: winners/losers; how to clone success without repeating yourself.
• Repurposing: carve out Shorts, LinkedIn clips, website embeds, email nurture.

Assets you’ll leave with

Channel setup checklist, 3+ scripting templates, thumbnail guidelines and PSD/Canva base file, upload checklist, analytics scorecard, and a 90-day publishing plan.

Delivery options

Online (Teams/Zoom) or in-person UK-wide; 1-to-1 coaching for founders/marketers or 1-to-many workshops for teams/franchises; half-day, full-day, or split sessions.

Benefits for SMEs

Organic YouTube FAQs

1. Do we need studio gear? No, phones + good audio + light scripting can outperform “polished but dull” content.
2. How often should we post? Sustainable cadence beats bursts (often bi-weekly long-form + weekly Shorts).
3. Will you review our first videos? Optional post-training clinics available.

YouTube Management FAQs

1. Do we need polished production?
   Not necessarily. Clarity beats polish. We can win with well-scripted phone footage and tight edits; we’ll advise when higher production is justified.

   We’ll propose a pilot budget sized to get statistically meaningful results in 4–6 weeks, then scale what proves efficient.
3. B2B or B2C—does it work for both?
   Yes. For B2B we lean toward education, comparisons and case proof with deeper remarketing. For B2C, demos, social proof and offers typically lead.
4. Can you run Shorts ads and in-feed?
   Absolutely! We select formats based on your funnel and creative. We’ll adapt scripts for vertical and keep captions/subs native.
5. How do you report value beyond last-click?
   We configure GA4 and Ads to show view-through and assisted conversions, plus pipeline metrics where CRM integration allows.
