Let me show you what this does.
What it is
Your podcast deserves a bigger room
Hourcast is a YouTube ads tool made for podcasters. It puts your episodes in front of people who've never heard of you — right inside the YouTube feed, where they're already there to watch something long.
From there it keeps score. Every episode, every audience, ranked by what a fully-watched hour actually costs — and it keeps pointing your reach at the ones people stay for.
Inside Hourcast
This is what you'll be looking at
Overview. The one metric Google can't optimize: Cost per Completed Hour.
Actions. Clear moves, not raw data. Adjust, mark done.
Audiences detail. Every ad group, ad and segment ranked by CpCH.
Campaign groups. All your campaigns, one shared optimization.
A/B test. Optimized vs. control, side by side.
The wall
You do all the right things. And still, it stalls
Great guests. Clean audio. Every week, on time. Then Monday comes and the numbers look like last Monday.
It isn't the show. It's who's finding it. Organic tops out, no matter how good you get.
The outcome
Somebody just listened to the whole thing
Not a view. Not one minute and gone. Forty-seven minutes with you — your voice, your argument, the joke that only lands if you were there for the setup.
That's the deepest attention there is.
And when the next episode drops, they'll be looking for it.
The metric
What does a full hour of listening cost you?
A view is a few seconds. A completed hour is someone hearing your entire episode — start to finish.
One metric runs it all: Cost per Completed Hour — what you pay for one full hour watched to 100%.
Google's algorithms were built for short ads and can't optimize for this. Hourcast was built only for it.

What users say
Growth, in their words
“Organic keeps recommending me to the same kind of people. I wanted out of that bubble.”
“We were skeptical. Then we understood: completed hours are trust.”
“A way to buy the highest-quality time someone can spend with your podcast.”
“We compared it against every channel we buy. It earned its place in the mix.”
FAQ
The four that matter
Do I need to know anything about ads?
No. You connect your Google Ads account, set a budget, and apply the Actions Hourcast hands you. Setup takes 10 minutes.
What does it cost?
Hourcast is $20/month. On top of that you need your own ad budget — around $15–20 a day, roughly $500 a month. That budget is your Google Ads spend on YouTube, separate from the subscription.
How soon will I see results?
Your first data appears the day after setup. Budget shifting begins around day 5, once campaigns have enough completed views, and results compound over 2–3 weeks.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No longterm contracts. $20 per month, cancel whenever. Reactivate anytime.
