Find the perfect YouTube placements in minutes

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.

What We Built

Vid Hoarder is a focused tool that does one thing exceptionally well: finding relevant YouTube videos for ad placement. Enter keywords, apply filters, and get hundreds of video URLs ready for your campaigns.

Key features include:

  • Keyword-Based Discovery — Search YouTube's catalog by keyword with intelligent filtering to surface the most relevant placements.
  • Channel-Wide Targeting — Found a great channel? Grab all their videos at once or select individual ones.
  • Bulk Export — Export results in a format ready to drop directly into Google Ads. No reformatting required.
  • Included Training — The subscription includes exclusive YouTube Ads training from Kyle Sulerud, an industry expert in placement targeting.

Technical Approach

The application integrates with YouTube's data APIs to search and filter videos based on multiple criteria. The algorithm prioritizes videos likely to perform well for advertising while filtering out problematic content.

The subscription system handles recurring billing and access control, while the training content is delivered through an integrated learning management system.

The Result

Vid Hoarder launched with a simple pricing model: $49/month with a 7-day money-back guarantee. The tool saves advertisers hours of manual research while delivering better placements than they'd find on their own. Users report significant improvements in ad performance after switching to placement targeting with Vid Hoarder-sourced videos.
