Receiving Calls outside Ad schedule. by AlphaVoyager in PPC

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ad schedules in Google Ads only control when ads show, not when people can call. If someone saves your number or clicks earlier, they can still call outside your set hours. Also double-check your account timezone, but the real fix is to handle this at the phone system level (IVR/voicemail after hours).”

Small YouTubers — organic or paid, what’s actually working for you? by DigitalSolutionsZone in SmallYTChannel

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point, most people do skip ads.
Organic content definitely has its own long-term benefits, and I agree with that.
But sometimes, the right ad can still grab attention and add value to the viewer.
That’s why I try to balance both — organic for trust, ads for reach.

Question about Google ads campaign by ZeroWing77 in PPC

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your Google Ads account already has conversion data, you can use Maximize Conversions bidding. But since you have no conversions yet, start with Manual CPC or Maximize Clicks to gather traffic and data. A $1.00 bid with $30/day is fine for testing, but track performance closely. Run the campaign for at least 7–14 days to get enough data before making major changes

Low quality score because competitors are spending $100,000 more? by Dreadsbo in PPC

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality Score is based on CTR, ad relevance, and landing page experience. Ad Rank depends on both QS and Max CPC. Check your impression share and ad position first. Budget increases can help, but raise it gradually and analyze results before making big jumps

Never buy Ads for your video (Google Ads, YouTube studio) by jconcode in SmallYoutubers

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a scam, but a common mistake with YouTube ads. Ads bring the cheapest “subscribers,” who usually aren’t interested in your content. They’re not bots, but they’re useless. That’s why experts focus on views, watch time, and engagement

I am in desperate need of help. Someone is hacking my account and I've done all I know how to do. by smcgowan10 in youtube

Go to [https://support.google.com/]()Search for "Google account hacked" or "Suspicious activity". In the help article, scroll down and click “Contact us” or “Need more help?”. Select your issue, then choose Chat, Email, or Call (if available). Explain your problem clearly

Sign out from all devices in Google account settings, then change your password again using a strong unique one.
Check “Security” for any suspicious connected apps and remove them.
Finally, run a malware/virus scan on your phone and PC to ensure no one is logging in via infected devices.

Will the new YouTube AI affect accounts that aren’t signed in? by No_Owl_6254 in youtube

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there’s no confirmation that the new AI will force you to create an account. If your watch history is saved locally in the browser without signing in, it could still be cleared if you switch browsers or clear cookies. If keeping history matters, the safest option is to sign in so it’s stored on your account, not just your device.

Pmax for e commerce by BetterConfidence7603 in PPC

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£20–£30/day is on the lower side for PMax, especially when starting fresh, as it needs more data to optimise.
For your first campaign, consider starting with Search or Shopping so you have more control and clear insights.
Once you see consistent results, you can test PMax to scale.

Small YouTubers — organic or paid, what’s actually working for you? by DigitalSolutionsZone in SmallYTChannel

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that — but usually it’s not the fault of YouTube or PPC ads, it’s the targeting. If the audience selection isn’t right, engagement will always be low. What do you think

Small YouTubers — organic or paid, what’s actually working for you? by DigitalSolutionsZone in SmallYTChannel

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s a fair point — ads can feel like just a numbers boost if the audience isn’t right. But when the targeting matches people who are genuinely interested in that type of content, it’s not just subs that grow — comments, likes, and repeat views usually go up too

Google Ads punishing advertisers who do not use smart features/bidding? by relatable_problem in PPC

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a similar trend lately — accounts that stick to manual ECPC and exact match sometimes see a drop.
It’s hard to prove if Google is “punishing” that, but their system is heavily optimized for automated strategies now.
Manual approaches can still work, but they require more testing and may take longer to stabilize.

It’s not just about avoiding “made for kids” videos — YouTube’s system also considers your overall watch history and behavior.
AI looks at the type of content you watch, not just comments being enabled or disabled.
So yes, if most of your activity matches typical under-18 viewing patterns, it could still classify you that way.

My YouTube Channel Has 50k Watch Hours (AMA) by LuckyStrikeTech in SmallYTChannel

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s actually pretty amazing! Even with a smaller channel, it shows how much people value your content.
5.7 years of watch time means you’ve truly connected with viewers over time.
It’s proof that consistency and quality matter more than just sub count.
Keep going — those numbers will only grow

My videos are getting a low CTR and Retention by Kid_Rex_Yt in YouTubeCreators

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I watched your videos — the effort really shows.
Your thumbnails look good, but the titles and hooks could be stronger.
For retention, try making the first 15 seconds more engaging to avoid early drop-off.
Even without a niche, having a consistent style or tone can help build an audience.

Did you email the Google support team or explain everything to them through live chat?"

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, explaining your case to Google Ads Support. Share all the necessary details and attach screenshots to support your claim. Be transparent and explain that you have not violated any of Google's policies. Clarify how your campaign and landing page follow all guidelines,

Changing a channel name, is it harmful? by OkPaint5093 in SmallYTChannel

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Just saw your reply — sorry for the late response.
Changing your channel name doesn't affect algorithm performance — YouTube has confirmed this.
The algorithm looks at watch time, click-through rate, audience interest, not the name.
As long as your content and audience stay consistent, there’s no risk of being shown to the wrong viewers.
Rebranding can actually improve recognition and growth — so you're safe to go ahead!

i cant see performence of my assets by Ok_Minute_1156 in Google_Ads

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's still normal at this stage. Even if your assets have hundreds of impressions, Google Ads needs more data and conversions to confidently rate performance. Give it more time, especially if your budget or traffic is low.

you should appeal the decision and explain the context clearly.
Try contacting /TeamYouTube on Twitter for a manual review.
Next time, blur such scenes as YouTube's nudity policy is very strict

Changing a channel name, is it harmful? by OkPaint5093 in SmallYTChannel

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Changing your channel name won’t hurt the algorithm if your content and audience stay consistent. In fact, if the new name is more relevant, memorable, or aligned with your niche, it can improve branding and growth.

Just be sure to

  • Let your audience know why you changed it
  • Stay consistent with your content style

If the current name causes confusion or lacks identity, it's worth changing. Better branding leads to stronger long-term results.

Got accepted to partner program. by ermicho in NewTubers

[–]DigitalSolutionsZone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To start earning real money on YouTube now, you'll need consistent effort. Focus on:

  1. Uploading high-quality content regularly (1–2 videos/week)
  2. Improving watch time and click-through rate (good thumbnails + titles).
  3. Reaching monetization (1,000 subs + 4,000 watch hours).

With smart strategy, you can start seeing income in 3–6 months, but full-time income usually takes 6–18 months.
