FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions


Spotify


I've ordered, what now?

Thank you for ordering! A campaign manager is going to listen to your song and reach out. We will then begin with pitching your song and once the placements come back, we will send you the playlists. Making the placements can take anything from a few days to a week as we strive to find the best playlist for your song. So please bear with us!

Is your service legit?

YouGrow is dedicated to nurturing real fan engagement. Delivering legitimate streams is very important to us.  We have a big network of curators to whom we tailor your music depending on the genre or style, and with whom we keep constant communication. Therefore we can make sure that your song is placed in relevant playlists and the playlists have a real following.

Are you able to push every song and every language?

As we are a legitimate promotion company, we can't push every song. If the curators within our network can't push the song then we will always provide a refund immediately.

Regarding languages, we can work with the following languages:
English, Spanish (Pop, Rock, Reggaeton), Portuguese (limited), German (only rap). 

On the following languages we advice ordering starter packages only: Turkish, Arabic, Polish, Bulgarian, Russian, Dutch, French, Asian.

If your song is in another language, then please email [email protected] so we can review the song.

How long will my campaign last?

The exact time of the campaign is up to the curator of the playlist, however usually a campaign lasts between 3 and 6 weeks.

How do I get my music on Spotify, YouTube and TikTok?

In order to get your music on Spotify, YouTube, TikTok and more you have to do it through a distributor. We highly recommend IndieMassive

Why was my song refunded?

If, for some reason, we can’t find the right fit for your song then we’ll provide a full refund within 1-2 business days.

How do I see growth from a campaign?

To view how many streams your song has generated in each playlist you can visit your Spotify Artist account. 

How do I access my Spotify for Artists stats?

When you open your Spotify for Artists account, you click on the name of the track that you are promoting with us. You will then see 2 options, the first one is Stats and the second one is Playlists. You should select the Playlists segment and after you scroll down you'll see a box where you can select 4 options - since 2015, last 28 days, last 7 days and last 24 hours, which will show you how many streams your track has received from various lists during the identified amount of time. Please select ‘Since 2015’ to let us view the performance of your track on our curators playlists. 

Why was I taken out of a playlist?

At YouGrow we make promotional campaigns - this means your song is placed in active playlists for an amount of time based on the curator that placed the song, and the package that you purchased. The curator will remove the song at a certain point based on this.

My song is not getting enough streams.

If your song is not getting enough streams please send the campaign manager an email with a screenshot of your Spotify for Artists stats and we will do our best to fix this issue.

What if I ordered over the weekend?

Everyone deserves a weekend. If you ordered late on a Friday (CET) or over the weekend, then we will pick your campaign up and reach out to you on the following Monday.

The playlist that I was placed in is not specific to the genre of my song.

Sometimes your song might be placed in a playlist that contains multiple genres of music. Under such circumstances, your song is placed according to the style of music that we believe would be appropriate for the said list. For example, a radio playlist may include Pop, Country and Indie genres.

Some of the playlists you sent are not as active as I’d like them to be.

Some playlists are simply more active than others and the activity of these playlists is always fluctuating. However you can be certain that you will get the number of streams that you ordered from these placements combined.

Can you target a specific audience?

Unfortunately we cannot target a specific audience for your song, as at YouGrow we pitch according to genre or style of music, and Spotify are very limited to the data they provide to playlist curators.

I would like to run a campaign for more than 150k streams.

Are you looking to run a large campaign that exceeds our packages offered on the website? This is possible! Please email [email protected] with your streaming goal and the song link, then we will let you know what we can do.

YouTube - Music promotion


Why is YouTube promotion important for musicians?

Interaction with listeners is the best way to turn listeners into fans. YouTube is a great platform for this.

Having a real and active fanbase is extremely important for a musician to get shows and to be able to sign to (major) record labels.

How long will it take to finish the campaign?

This depends on the size of the campaign of course, but we try to execute the campaign as quickly as possible. We will work with you directly in order to ensure the campaigns are being executed quickly, while focusing and prioritizing efficiency and growth. We prefer to deliver 5k views per day with great engagement ratios, than 8k with less-great engagement ratios (Even though that 5k is usually more expensive per-view/click).
 

Can explicit content be promoted?

This depends on HOW explicit the content is. Showing nudity, drug use, blood/gore, violence, etc will have Google disapprove your ad for “Shocking” or “Adult” content. However, light swearing or brief/mildly suggestive content generally still gets approved. If you aren't sure if your song will be approved, feel free to email us!
 

How long will it take for the service to start?

The only step of this process that is out of our hands is the review process carried out by Google. It generally takes about 2-3 days or even less for an ad to be approved. After approval from Google, we immediately proceed with optimization where you can already see the first results.

How long will it take to see views and Engagement?

Views and engagement appear 48 hours after your campaign is optimized by the YouGrow team and approved by Google. Your dedicated campaign manager will be available to answer any questions throughout your campaign.

Can I have access to the campaign statistics?

Your campaign manager can provide basic details about your campaign, such as views delivered and view rate, but for a more in-depth analysis please refer to your YouTube Studio account.

Will my content continue to grow after the service?

Of course! This is the whole idea behind our service. We don't want to simply push your song, we want to push your entire channel via that song. The goal is to gain subscribers who then continue to engage with your content both past and future. That being said, our formula delivers high audience retention (typically 60%+) and engagement, which further drives YouTube’s algorithm to place your video in the “Suggested Videos” tab. This boost to the algorithm helps ensure your video continues to grow long after the campaign has been completed.

Not many people have the budget to promote every single song they release and we understand this. We see artists everyday who promote single songs to baseless viewers which simply results in a number, rather than dedicated fans (even if the promo is organic!!). The beauty of YouTube is the ability to engage directly with the people visiting your content and to explain your vision in the description. This interaction is essential to growing your brand. Therefor, we do not see You Grow as a means of promoting your song; we see You Grow as a promotional strategy to promote your brand and build a fan base VIA a song. Yes, you will attain a considerable number of views with our service, but the true benefit lies with the fans you gain as a result.
