Vid Hoarder solves a tedious problem that every YouTube advertiser knows: finding the right videos to place ads on. Manual research takes hours. Automated targeting often misses the mark. Vid Hoarder fills the gap.
The Challenge
YouTube placement targeting—running ads on specific videos rather than letting Google choose—consistently outperforms keyword, topic, and audience targeting. But finding those videos manually is brutal. You're either spending hours yourself or paying a virtual assistant to do tedious research.
