What we did

The video strategy targeted the search queries Timefold's buyers actually type, improved visibility in AI search (GEO), and simplified technical concepts for both broad and technical audiences. Production was end to end: concept, scripting, recording, editing and distribution, with metrics tracked continuously to find the next growth opportunity.

Video was built into every stage of the funnel

YouTube was not a side channel. In the Timefold strategy, video was embedded in every process, from first discovery to the sales call.

Channel analytics

Timefold YouTube analytics - 4,541 views in 28 days, 1,489 subscribers
YouTube Studio, Jul 13 - Aug 9, 2026: 4,541 views in 28 days and 1,489 subscribers, for a product only a narrow technical audience searches for.

What a good video actually builds

Most teams optimize for the camera. Almost none optimize for the algorithm. B2B SaaS teams often overlook YouTube, but it is one of the most important resources for organic search visibility, and it does more than bring in its own leads.

1

Discovery

SEO and GEO get you surfaced: structured video ranks in Google and gets cited in AI answers like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

2

Trust

Real content builds credibility. Buyers see how you think before they ever get on a call with sales.

3

Education

Buyers arrive already informed. Less time explaining the basics, more time discussing fit.

4

Pipeline

Warm, sales-ready leads: they already trust you and understand the product.

Result 1 · YouTube

10% of monthly leads come organically from YouTube.

No ad spend behind them. Buyers found Timefold on their own, through search and AI answers.

Result 2 · Every other channel

Warm, sales-ready leads from the other platforms too.

Leads coming in through ads, LinkedIn, the website or sales outreach had already watched the videos: they knew the product and had seen it in action before the first call.

Case study 02 · Fuel Finance

A launch video in 1 week: 300,000 impressions

Fuel Finance was announcing AI CFO and needed a launch video fast. We produced the explainer in one week, which was possible because of smooth collaboration between their team and Virealin.

"We launched AI CFO, and the reaction blew us away: over 300,000 impressions on launch, and hundreds joined the waitlist within days."

Fuel Finance team, after the launch

Those results start with a great product. They also reflect the combined effort of the marketing team, and the role a strong video plays in helping a launch reach the right audience. Video has become one of the most effective ways to capture attention online, and a launch is where that matters most.

Campaign results

LinkedIn Campaign Manager - video ads with 6.26% to 9.09% CTR and 12 to 20 seconds dwell time
LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Aug 6 - 24, 2026. The top video ads ran at 6.26% to 9.09% CTR, with 12 to 20 seconds of average dwell time.

Why it converted: the Virealin method

Most ads fail in the first 3 seconds. We test what others skip, and design every creative for retention.

1

Hook testing

3-5 different openings per video, so budget goes to the hook that is proven to hold attention.

2

Pace and dynamics

Editing built for the feed and the platform's algorithm, not adapted from a long-form cut.

3

A real face

A talking head from the client's own team makes the ad personal and stops the scroll.

4

Direct CTA

Every video sends traffic straight to the next step in sales, tied to the campaign goal.
