Is YouTube the missing piece in your marketing?

We know our customers are on YouTube, but we don't know where to start.

It feels complicated, expensive and easy to get wrong.

We tried video ads once and just burned money.

Views from the wrong people don't pay the bills.

We don't have videos good enough for ads.

You don't need a film crew. You need the right message in the first five seconds.

How it works

How YouTube Ads work

YouTube is where people go to learn, compare and decide what to buy. With YouTube Ads, your video plays before or during the videos your customers are already watching, or shows up in their feed and in YouTube search.

You only reach the people you want. We can target people by what they've searched for on Google, the videos they watch, their interests and where they live. Someone searching "kitchen extension Milton Keynes" today can see your video on YouTube tomorrow.

Every time they see you, they get to know you a little better. So when they're ready to buy, you're the name they already know and trust.

You don't need a big production. We'll help you plan short videos that grab attention in the first five seconds, or reuse the ones you already have.

Frequently asked questions

Can't see your question? Book a free call and ask us directly.

Farzana and Uzair Kharawala, co-founders of SF Digital Studios
Do I need a professionally made video?

No. Simple, authentic videos often work better than polished ones. If you don't have any, we can create them for you with our Marketing Videos service.

Can I use the videos I've made for Instagram or TikTok?

Often, yes. Short vertical videos made for social media can be reused as YouTube Shorts ads. We'll check what you have and tell you what will work.

Which YouTube ad types do you use?

Mainly three: Shorts ads, in-stream ads that play before or during videos, and in-feed ads on the YouTube homepage and in search results. We choose the mix that suits your goal.

Will people just skip my ad?

Some will, and that's fine. With skippable ads you usually only pay when someone watches for 30 seconds (or the whole ad if it's shorter) or clicks, so you're not paying for people who aren't interested.

Can YouTube Ads bring in leads, not just views?

Yes. We set up campaigns designed to drive calls, enquiries and sales, and track them so you can see exactly what each video brings in.

How much should I spend on YouTube Ads?

It depends on your audience, your goals and your market. After a free call we'll recommend a budget that gives your campaigns room to work.

Is your fee separate from my ad spend?

Yes. Our price is the management fee. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google, which runs YouTube Ads.

Do I own my account?

Yes. We always work in your own Google Ads account, never ours. If you ever leave, you keep everything we've built.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. We don't believe in tying anyone into long contracts. We'd rather keep clients because they're happy with the work.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Yes. We run YouTube Ads for clients in the USA, Canada, the UAE, India and beyond, as well as right across the UK.

Why should you listen to us?

We're proud to have presented for some of the biggest brands and at some of the biggest marketing events.

How YouTube Ads Work for Your Business

Is YouTube the missing piece in your marketing? You know your customers are on YouTube, but it feels complicated and easy to get wrong. Maybe you tried video ads once and you just burned money. Hello, I'm Uzair and thanks for visiting our website. Let me explain how YouTube Ads work for your business. YouTube is where people go to learn, compare, and decide what to buy.

With YouTube Ads, your video plays before or during the videos your customers already watch. You only reach the people you want. I can target people by what they've searched for on Google, the videos they viewed, their interest, and where they live. So, someone who searches for a kitchen extension today can see your video on YouTube tomorrow. Every time they see you, they get to know you a little better.

So, when they're ready to buy, you're the name they already know and trust. You might be thinking your videos aren't good enough for ads. You don't need a film crew. You need the right message in the first 5 seconds. Here's how it works. We start with a free call. We talk about your goals, your customers, and your any videos you already have.

Then you get a plan. It covers who to reach, which ad types to use, and the right budget. Next, we sort your videos. I help you plan and script them. We can reuse what you have or create new ones. Then, we launch with your targeting, your ads, and your tracking all set up properly. After that, we manage and grow.

You get a report every month, so you can see which videos bring in customers. We're YouTube certified and a Google Premier Partner. I made more than 2,800 videos for our own channel. It works best if what you sell is easier to show than to describe. Click the book a call button around this video. It's a free 30-minute call on Google Meet.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to catching up with you sometime soon.
