Check your video before you spend.
Spot avoidable weaknesses before setting an advertising budget. This checklist scores the information you enter; it does not fetch or independently analyse your video.
29% checklist completion
This is a completeness score, not a prediction of views, subscribers, conversions or return on ad spend.
Add the YouTube video you intend to promote.
Make the video's value clear in a specific, accurate title.
Describe who is most likely to care and why.
Explain how the first 15–30 seconds deliver value quickly.
Describe a relevant thumbnail that supports, rather than repeats, the title.
Address the missing items before deciding whether paid promotion is worthwhile.
Important monetisation note
Views, watch time and subscribers gained directly through paid ad campaigns do not count toward YouTube Partner Programme eligibility thresholds. Organic follow-on views may count when they meet YouTube’s rules. Promotion is not a shortcut or guarantee of monetisation.
Check current YouTube policies and campaign eligibility before spending.
