YouTube channel management for UK service businesses
Stop Guessing If Your Videos
Bring You Clients.
Turn YouTube Into Leads
Who Arrive Already Pre-Sold.
Channel Intelligence tracks what happens after someone watches, so you can see which videos brought enquiries and which only brought views.
From £497 a month, plus a one-time £497 setup. You'll speak to me directly, with no account manager in between.
Three things you'll know by day 7, or your first month free.
- Whether YouTube actually understands who your channel is for.
- What your best-performing videos have in common.
- What your biggest competitor is missing.
Channel Intelligence is a monthly YouTube channel management service for UK coaches, consultants and service businesses. Every month, I show you what YouTube reported against what your channel actually returned, so you can see which videos bring in prospects who are already sold.
Run by Stewart Read, who has managed YouTube and teams for 8-figure businesses.
There's no software to learn and no dashboard to check. I do the strategic analysis for you using 15 unique tools I coded myself.
You Upload Videos.
But Can You Honestly Answer These Questions?
- 01 Which videos generated enquiries?
- 02 Which generated paying customers?
- 03 Which videos looked successful but produced nothing?
- 04 Which 'quiet' videos actually made you money?
- 05 Which videos do your best clients watch before they book a call?
- 06 When a competitor's video blows up, were those view numbers genuine?
- 07 When a buyer asks ChatGPT ‘who’s the best?’, does it name you or a rival?
- 08 Is the channel producing enough to justify what you're spending on it?
For most businesses, nobody really knows, because people don't know what they don't know. A video with 500 views that generates three enquiries could be worth far more than one with 50,000 views that generates nothing.
Every month, I turn those answers into a clear brief
that shows you what's really happening on your channel.
Every finding is separated into what your numbers prove and what they only suggest.

Meet Stewart
Stewart Read
YouTube Growth Strategist
I've run YouTube channel management for 8-figure businesses, turning channels into reliable sources of leads, clients and measurable revenue.
I uncover exactly what makes your audience click, watch and convert, and show you which of your videos bring buyers to your business, so the people who book a call arrive already sold.
Why I built my own tools
“For years I ran YouTube channels for 8-figure businesses on data, until I hit the limits of the tools most people use. They couldn't give me the accuracy my clients needed, or tell me which video produced an enquiry, so I built 15 of my own that do.”
~ Stewart Read, YouTube Strategist
What the tools do
They surface patterns across your whole library that would take days to find by clicking around YouTube Studio, and most people never find at all.
What I do
I investigate what they turn up, cross-check it against alternative data, put it in the context of your business, and write your Channel Intelligence Brief myself.
What your team do
Read the brief and watch the walkthrough I record, so they can see which of their videos brought you enquiries and which brought you none.
This isn’t software.
You get a human YouTube expert who checks every number before it reaches you.
YouTube Studio, Ask Studio and tools like vidIQ are useful. I use them too. But without an expert strategist to fix their mistakes, you’re still the one reading the numbers every month and deciding what they mean.
YouTube knows what happens on YouTube
It doesn't know which video booked a call, what an enquiry is worth to you or what eventually became revenue. So you think the video with the most views is your winner, even when a video with fewer views was the one that brought enquiries in.
I track what happens after the click, so you can see which videos produced enquiries and which only produced views.
Third-party tools hand you a dashboard
Several of them connect to your channel and show you the numbers. Reading them every month, deciding what to do about them, and hoping you got it right, is still your job. You open the dashboard, see that something has moved, and still can't tell whether it's important, or whether the number is even real.
AI can analyse data, but…
It always gives you an answer, and it sounds just as sure when that number is really a guess. A lot of what these tools show you is guesswork, including how many people search for something.
I use them to find ideas worth looking at, then use my own custom coded tools to get corrected data before it reaches your plan.
That someone is me
I read your numbers every month and tell you what they mean. I analyse the data across your whole channel to spot the patterns a single month hides, so you can see which videos earn and which only look like they do.
Every finding is checked against a second source and placed in the context of your business, and I separate what your numbers prove from what they only suggest, so you're never acting on a guess dressed up as a fact. You deal with me directly every month, with no account manager or shared group call in between.
Your team edit the videos
They can film and edit beautifully and still have no idea which of it brought you a client. Every month they find out: which videos produced enquiries, which produced views and nothing else, and where their effort was wasted.
It's the feedback they've never had. If what you're missing is the direction rather than the measurement, that's what a YouTube strategist does.
If a YouTube agency has let you down before
Most founders I speak to have already tried one, sometimes several. They were promised big results, handed a dashboard, or given a list of ideas that were all off-brand and none they could actually make. Here, every finding comes from your own numbers, checked by me before it reaches you.
If you're comparing options, here are the four kinds of YouTube agency and what each costs.
If you're weighing up a course or group programme
They suit people who want to learn to run a channel themselves and have the hours to do it. Channel Intelligence is for business owners who are busy running the business, with no one on the team who has the time, or the wish, to do the deep work it takes to run the channel properly.
I do the analysis and the setup myself, one to one, every month. Your team keeps filming, and you act on a brief built from your own numbers.

By day 7 you'll know whether YouTube understands who your channel is for, what your best-performing videos have in common, and what your biggest competitor is missing. If you don't, your first month is free.
