Ned Hayes

CEO, Loyalti

Loyalti is an all-in-one marketing, email, social media, sms, and loyalty platform for small businesses (formerly Spark Loyalty and now rebranded to Loyalti)

  • Started with zero brand recognition and YouTube subscribers and no videos
  • Lack of resources and expertise in-house to strategize, produce, and distribute long and short-form videos
  • B2B small business leads are flaky and have limited time to explore new tools
  • Large competitors in the space with massive brand recognition
  • New startups struggle to compete in the saturated blog and website space without a massive budget

Solution

  • Identify content gaps and keyword opportunities on YouTube and Google 
  • Created video targeting small business owners at the point of research and decision
  • Leverage brand authority of related platforms and competitors to drive organic traffic to videos (authority hacking)
  • Demonstrate how to use their platform with easy-to-follow tutorials 
  • Videos answer common questions sourced from the sales team

Results

  • YouTube is a consistent organic funnel for qualified leads
  • 45% of tracked new sign-ups came heard about the platform from YouTube
  • The channel ranked top 3 for target keywords on YouTube Search and Google Search
  • In one year, the channel gained 1 Million organic impressions, 280,000 views, 35,000 views from YouTube Search, and 2,500 views from Google Search
  • Created an additional revenue stream from monetizing the YouTube channel as part of the YouTube Partner Program
