YouTube Ads Services

YouTube Ads People Actually Watch. Let's Build You a Plan.

We all instinctively skip ads. As a business, you don’t want to waste money on ads people skip and immediately forget.

But what if your ad wasn’t an interruption? What if it was the helpful answer to a question your ideal customer was literally just typing into the search bar? That changes everything. At Salt Marketing, we create YouTube ads that earn attention instead of demanding it. And we’ll map out a whole strategy to show you how, completely free of charge.

GET STARTED



    Does This Sound a Bit Like Your Video Nightmare?

    Trying to get results from YouTube can feel like a guessing game. It’s a brilliant platform, but it can be a brutal place to advertise if you don’t know the rules of the game. Sound familiar?

    • You’ve had plenty of “views," but the phone didn’t ring and no sales came in.
    • The thought of making a video ad feels like a massive, slow, and expensive headache.
    • You’re worried your ad will just get skipped into oblivion, and your budget will vanish with it.
    • You can’t figure out if the ads are actually making you money or just getting you vanity metrics.
    • You feel like you’re just shouting into the wind, with no idea if the right people are even seeing your message.

    We get it. It’s frustrating. But there’s a much smarter way to do this.

    What Here's the Secret:
    YouTube Isn't a Social Network.

    This is the most important thing to understand. YouTube is a search engine with video results. People don’t go there to kill time; they go with a purpose. They have a problem to solve, a skill to learn, or a product to research. They have a shopping list in their head.

    You Meet People When They're Actively Looking

    Imagine your ideal customer is searching “how to choose the right accounting software" or “best way to insulate an attic." With YouTube, we can put your helpful, engaging ad right in front of them at that exact moment. You’re not interrupting their day; you’re becoming the solution they were searching for.

    You Can Tell a Real Story

    You can say more in a 30-second video than you can in a mountain of text. You can show your product in action. You can let a happy customer tell their story. You can build a real, human connection and create trust in a way that a static image just can’t. It’s the next best thing to a face-to-face conversation.

    You Become the Go-To Expert

    When you consistently show up with helpful answers and valuable insights, you stop being just another “advertiser." You become the go-to authority in your field. People start to recognise you, trust you, and when it comes time for them to buy, you’re the first person they think of.

    Our SOS Process: A Clear Plan for YouTube Success

    We replace the guesswork with a simple, straightforward plan. And we build it for you for free so you can see exactly how we think.

    Situation

    Figuring Out What People Are Actually Watching

    First, we do our homework. What are your customers searching for? What videos are they watching? What are your competitors doing right (and wrong)? We get a clear picture of the landscape so we can find the perfect opening for your business.

    Objective

    Deciding What Your Video’s Job Is

    Let’s be clear: “getting views" is not a business goal. We work with you to set a real, tangible objective. Is your video’s job to get people to book a call? To download a guide? To buy a product from your website? We define the win before we start.

    Strategy

    Your Free Video Ad Blueprint

    This is where we map it all out for you. Your free plan will include:

    • Real video ideas and the script for the all-important first five seconds.
    • The exact audience we’ll target (based on what they search for and watch).
    • The types of ads we’ll use to get you the best results for your budget.
    • A clear plan for how we’ll turn viewers into actual customers.

    The Hardest Part is Making the
    Video. So, We Do It For You.

    Let’s face it, the biggest thing stopping most businesses from using YouTube ads is the video itself. We’ve solved that problem. Our in-house team handles everything from the initial idea to the final edit, making the whole process easy and affordable.

    Strategy & Scriptwriting

    We’ll figure out the angle and write a script that hooks people in and gets your message across clearly.

    In-House Video Production

    This is our game-changer. Our team shoots and edits your ads, creating professional, authentic videos designed to perform on the platform. No need to find and manage an expensive video crew.

    Smart Ad Targeting

    We find your customers based on what they’re searching for, the channels they subscribe to, and their real-world interests.

    Constant Campaign Management

    We’re in your account daily, tweaking bids and moving your budget to the ads that are bringing in the best results.

    Reporting You'll Actually Understand

    Your live dashboard connects the dots. You won’t just see “views"; you’ll see how those views are turning into leads and sales.

    Relentless Testing

    We test different video intros, calls to action, and audiences to constantly improve your results over time.

    Industries We Serve

    YouTube ads aren’t just for the big brands with flash budgets. They work just as well for Irish businesses that want to get in front of people at the exact moment they’re searching for answers. Done right, your ad doesn’t feel like an ad at all — it feels like help.

    E-Commerce & Retail

    Show your products in action, answer buyer questions, and turn browsers into paying customers.

    Education & Training

    Promote your courses, explainers, or webinars to people already looking to upskill.

    Healthcare & Wellness

    Share useful, trustworthy advice that builds confidence before patients ever walk through the door.

    Tourism & Hospitality

    Inspire bookings with video stories that bring destinations and experiences to life.

    Professional Services

    Answer the “how do I…” questions your ideal clients are typing into YouTube every day.

    SaaS & Tech

    Demo your software, break down the benefits, and make it easy for people to understand what you do.

    Proof of Results

    It’s easy to chase “views” on YouTube — but views don’t pay the bills. We care about leads, sales, and return on spend. And we’ve delivered it:

    • A retail client turned €2,000 in YouTube ads into €15,000 in sales in just six weeks.
    • A training company filled a brand-new online course in under two months using targeted Discovery Ads.
    • A local service provider brought in 37 new enquiries in a single month by targeting people searching for their service in Dublin.

    Salt Marketing’s YouTube campaigns didn’t just get us views — they brought in real customers. We could finally see exactly how video ads made money.

    YouTube Ad Formats We Use

    Different goals need different ads. YouTube has a mix of formats, and we use the right one for the job — so you’re not wasting money on the wrong approach.

    Skippable In-Stream Ads

    The classic ad that runs before or during a video. You only pay when people watch, so it’s great for telling a story.

    Non-Skippable In-Stream Ads

    Short, sharp, 15-second clips that people can’t skip. Perfect for direct offers and brand awareness.

    Discovery Ads

    Appear in search results and alongside related videos. Ideal for catching people at the moment they’re researching.

    Bumper Ads

    Six-second videos that pack a punch. Brilliant for brand recall and quick-fire messages.

    Why Work With Salt Marketing

    Lots of agencies “dabble” in video. For us, YouTube is a specialist channel, and we’ve built the skills to make it work.

    • We know Ireland. From local service providers to national brands, we understand how Irish buyers think and search.
    • We do it all in-house. Scripts, filming, editing, and strategy — no delays, no outsourcing.
    • We move quickly. Campaigns get launched in weeks, not dragged out for months.
    • We keep it clear. No vanity numbers, just leads, sales, and ROI.
    • We earn trust upfront. Your full YouTube plan comes free before you ever spend a cent.

    Reporting You Can Trust

    Video only works if it’s delivering results — and you’ll see exactly how it’s performing, 24/7.

    • What each lead or sale is costing.
    • Which ads and audiences are working best.
    • How your budget is being spent day by day.

    No waffle. No guesswork. Just clear numbers in plain English that show your YouTube ads are paying for themselves.

    Faqs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I really need a Hollywood-level production?

    Absolutely not. In fact, slick, over-produced corporate ads often perform worse on YouTube. People crave authenticity. We specialise in creating professional ads that feel genuine and connect with real people, without breaking the bank.

    How long should my ad be?

    The honest answer? As long as it needs to be, but not a second longer. The make-or-break moment is the first 5-10 seconds. Our entire focus is on creating a hook so powerful that people forget they were ever going to click “Skip."

    What if I don't have a YouTube channel?

    Not a problem at all. While it’s great to have one, you don’t need an active channel to run a successful ad campaign. We can get you up and running from a standing start.

    How much do I need to spend?

    It always comes back to your objectives, what do you want to make from this online world. We suggest a minimum monthly ad budget of €1,000 for effective testing and optimal ROI.

    How do you actually measure the results?

    We measure what pays the bills. Views and clicks are nice, but we track the important stuff: how many leads you got, how many sales you made, and what your return on ad spend is. In plain English: we measure the money that comes back to you as a result of the money you put in.
