Frequently
Asked Questions about the Spotify Service
Important things to note
before ordering
- We only accept decent
quality tracks to properly maintain our playlist network.
- If we decline to work
with any of your tracks, that just means we don't think the track would be a
good fit for our playlists.
- Refund Policy: You'll be
fully refunded if we can't work with your track (within 1-3 business days).
Methods used to promote
your track
- Playlist placement
- Ads with business
partners
- Direct collaborations
with curators and labels
- We will find the best
ideal and individual solution for every need.
Why can the promotion
results vary?
- The nature of organic
Spotify promotion means the results can vary.
- It is likely to gain
passive traffic as there is a high chance listeners will save and add your
track to their private playlists.
- This helps trigger the
Spotify algorithm and makes your track more likely to be discovered by more
people.
How can I see growth from a
campaign?
- You can visit your Spotify
for Artists account to see how many streams your track has generated in each
playlist or directly.
My track is not getting
enough streams
- If after 2 weeks your
track is not getting enough streams, please email the campaign manager with a
screenshot of your Spotify for Artists stats and we will do our best to fix
this issue.
The playlist I was placed
in is not specific to the genre of my track
- Sometimes your track
might be placed in a playlist that contains multiple music genres. In such
cases, your track is placed according to the style of music we believe would be
appropriate for that list, like a radio playlist that includes Pop, Country and
Indie.
Can you target a specific
audience?
- Unfortunately we cannot
target a specific audience for your track.
Frequently
Asked Questions about the SoundCloud Service
What is the repost service
on the SoundCloud network?
- Our repost service on the
SoundCloud network offers the following benefits:
- Your track, playlist or
album will be reposted on the SoundCloud channels of our network partners
- This will generate new
streams and help your music gain traction and recognition on the SoundCloud
platform
Frequently
Asked Questions about the YouTube Service
Why is YouTube promotion
important for musicians?
- Engaging with listeners
is the best way to turn listeners into fans. YouTube is a great platform for
this.
- Having a real and active
fan base is extremely important for a musician to get shows and be able to sign
with (major) record labels.
Can explicit content be
promoted?
- It depends on how
explicit the content is. If nudity, drug use, blood/gore, violence and the like
are shown, Google will disapprove the ad for "shocking" or
"adult" content.
- However, mild profanity
or brief, slightly suggestive content is generally approved. If you're unsure
if your track will be approved, don't hesitate to contact us by email.
Will my content continue to
grow after the service?
- Absolutely! That's the
idea behind our service. We don't just want to push your song, we want to push
your entire channel through that song.
- The goal is to gain
subscribers who continue to engage with your content, both past and future.

Asked Questions about Professional Mastering Service

What is the recommended
volume level?
- We recommend sending us
the file with a volume level of -6dB.

mastering service?
- You can find the prices
for our professional mastering service in the dedicated section.
Common
Questions and Answers:
I've ordered, what now?
- Thank you for ordering! A
campaign manager is going to listen to your song and reach out.
Are you able to push every
song and every language or genre?
- Being a legitimate
promotion company, we cannot push every song. If curators within our network cannot
push the song, we will alternatively try with ads, but always if we can
guarantee you the streams chosen from the package, otherwise we will always
provide a refund.
- Generally all genres of
music are accepted, minus the niche ones or bad quality.
How long will my campaign
last?
- Usually a campaign lasts
between two and eight weeks, depends by the genre of music, the type of song,
the quality of the song, and more.
Do I have to wait for my
song to be released before purchasing a promotions package?
- You don't have to wait
for your song to be released before you purchase a promotions package.
Do you offer any guarantees
on follower growth or engagement?
- While we optimize
campaigns to achieve the best possible engagement, we cannot guarantee specific
numbers. Results can vary based on factors like music genre and audience
preferences. In some cases, like Spotify or YouTube ad campaigns, we can
provide estimates on campaign performance.
Are there any restrictions
on the content of the music submitted?
- We reserve the right to
refuse to promote tracks that violate our content guidelines.
What happens if my music
doesn't perform as expected during the campaign?
- Although we strive to achieve
optimal results, individual track performance can vary. If your expectations
are not met, we offer consultations to better understand your goals and adapt
strategies accordingly.
Can I cancel a campaign
once it's started?
- Once a campaign has
started, we generally don't accept cancellations. However, we are aware that
circumstances can arise and we are open to discussing options on a case-by-case
basis.
Do you work with both
independent artists and record labels?
- Yes, we work with both
independent artists and record labels. Our promotional strategies are tailored
to meet the needs of a wide range of music creators.
