One guaranteed view count, in the market you choose

View Maniac's YouTube page says it guarantees "the range of traffic you order". Its terms of service, updated December 2025, say it aims to reach targeted numbers in promotional campaigns but does "not guarantee exact numbers". Neither page says what happens if a campaign delivers less.

Every Blue Leopard Media package names one number of views, counted by Google Ads in your report. That number is a guaranteed minimum in every market, and it is fixed when you pick the package, not set by a range.

Press included: a feature and a cover, not just a pitch

View Maniac's YouTube page offers blog pitching for free and says "placement is never guaranteed". Its press service is a separate purchase, priced per placement, and each outlet lists its own delivery window, from about a week to several weeks.

Every Blue Leopard Media package includes an editorial feature written about you, with your name in the headline and your own digital cover to post and keep. You approve every word, and it goes live within 24 hours of your approval. Breakout includes two features and two covers, one before release and one after, and Headline includes four of each.

If Google says no, and how you follow progress

Google reviews every video before it can run as an ad. View Maniac's page says a video that is not approved gets a full refund. It does not publish an appeal or say whether it will tell you which edit would get the video approved.

If Google does not approve your video, we tell you why, appeal the decision and say which edit would fix it. If it still cannot be approved, you choose: a full refund of the package, or we use it for another song or release. Your campaign goes live once Google approves the video, usually within one business day, and you get a weekly Google Ads report. View Maniac's page promises clear reporting but does not publish its format or how often it arrives.

Start the way you prefer

Everything is published before you pay: the price, the guaranteed view count for each market, what the feature includes and the refund terms. Then you choose how to start:

  • Check out directly: pick a package and a market on the packages and pay by card. Your brief comes right after payment.
  • Talk it through on WhatsApp or by email: ask anything about your release before you pay. We reply within one business day.
  • Book a free call: we walk you through how we would run your release, the targeting and exactly what you get.
