Client: Personal-brand blogger, UAE · NDA

The problem

The launch of a blogger's new channel was hit on day one: bot-farm activity, manipulated metrics and a wave of paid negative content designed to kill the channel before it gained traction.

What we did

Collected and documented evidence of the attackers' violations of YouTube policy, and escalated it until their channels were terminated.
Rebuilt the channel as a turnkey YouTube operation: search-driven SEO, retention-focused packaging, and a content structure built to get picked up by recommendations.

Result

The attack fully cleared from the channel.
Organic reach up ×4.
The channel holds a stable top position in its niche.
