Long-form editing is the big variable
A YouTube quote that includes editing long-form videos (10 minutes or more, with b-roll, graphics and thumbnails) will cost far more than one that focuses on Shorts and channel optimisation. Before comparing prices, check which of the two you are being offered.
Our YouTube plan is a custom quote based on your goals (start with a $299 one-month pilot; ongoing plans are indicatively $450–$850 a month) for 15 Shorts and 15 community posts, with topic research, titles, descriptions, YouTube SEO and analytics review. Long-form editing and thumbnails for long videos are not included and can be quoted separately.

How to judge results
- Retention: where viewers drop off, using YouTube's key moments reports (Measure key moments for audience retention).
- Returning viewers and subscribers gained per video.
- Search traffic to tutorials and explainers.
- Clicks to your site from descriptions and pinned comments.
Safety and access
Give a manager channel permissions rather than your Google password (Add or remove access to your YouTube channel with channel permissions). Sponsored content must use YouTube's paid promotion disclosure (Add branded content restrictions and disclosure labels). See YouTube management.
