I'm Brad Smith, owner of Automationlinks, and I've been doing this marketing stuff for the last 10 years working with over 2,500 brands. In today's case study, I'm going to break down exactly how this law firm has been able to generate over $90,000 a month from YouTube using this YouTube flywheel system.

This case study will show you the complete sales funnel we built, how we optimized videos to rank on both Google and YouTube, and the exact follow-up system that turns viewers into paying clients. If you want to learn the exact system on how to build this for your brand, the full blueprint is available at the end of this case study.

The Challenge: Standing Out in a Crowded Legal Market

This trademark attorney knew that his ideal customers were searching for legal help online, but he wasn't showing up where they were looking. The challenge wasn't just getting found on YouTube - it was creating a complete system that would build trust, demonstrate expertise, and convert viewers into high-value clients.

The traditional approach of relying on referrals and local advertising wasn't scaling fast enough. He needed a system that would work 24/7, build relationships automatically, and position him as the go-to expert in trademark law.

Case Study Insight: Most lawyers focus on getting found, but this case study shows the importance of the complete sales funnel
What Happened: We built a marketing blueprint showing exactly where new leads come from and what happens after they find you
Time to Results: System generates leads continuously once properly implemented
Tools/Methods Used: Landing pages, automated emails, retargeting pixels, and strategic follow-up sequences

The YouTube Flywheel Solution: Complete Marketing Blueprint

Here's the first step of the flywheel - what we want to look for is the complete sales funnel. This is what we build for our clients: a marketing blueprint so we can see exactly where your new leads come from, what happens to the leads after they hear about you, learn about you, find you, and that's going to be these landing pages, automated emails, retargeting pixels, and then how you are able to follow up with them.

I think follow-up is the most important part in any business because not everyone's going to buy and purchase from you day one. How it works for this law firm - and you really could use this for any type of business because it's all about the follow-up, building relationships, and showing up where your customers are looking for you.

He knows that his ideal customers are searching for him on YouTube - not him in particular, but they're on YouTube looking for an answer. He then shows them the video and gets them to a free guide that he's going to offer them if they leave a comment under the video or if they click on the link in the description.

Step 1: Strategic Video Creation and Search Optimization

When somebody's looking for you, where are they actually looking and what are they looking for? As an example, if I was a trademark attorney, I would be trying to rank my YouTube videos not only on YouTube but also on Google.

Here's a simple search: "how to get a trademark for a new business idea." You can see that there's three YouTube videos showing right at the top. First things are always going to show are the sponsored ads - we want to skip those, we'll do those later on - but for now, what we want to do is look at some of these videos and how they have the chapters, and what I want to do is really skip to a certain part of the chapter to help answer my question.

If I head over to YouTube, I'm looking for the exact same thing: "how to get a trademark for a business idea." You can see whether there's a first video at the top giving me the tips with those chapters, or I'm going to also see maybe some ads or I'll see other recommended videos, and then I'll end up clicking the one I like most.

Case Study Insight: Videos must rank on both Google and YouTube for maximum visibility
What Happened: We created a series of 12 videos answering different types of questions about trademarks
Time to Results: Videos begin ranking within weeks of optimization
Tools/Methods Used: Chapter optimization, thumbnail optimization, and strategic keyword targeting

For this specific law firm, they click on his video because we optimize the thumbnail to make somebody want to click and we also show up for those searches more than just one. What we want to do is create a series of 12 videos answering different types of questions about trademarks.

Step 2: Landing Page Optimization and Retargeting Setup

Once they get to your landing page, what we want to do is show them a YouTube video. What this does is it re-triggers the algorithm, it also re-triggers your retargeting pixel. After they hit the page - and I'll show you mine as an example - I give something of value, and when they hit the thank you page, they can click and watch a YouTube video.

What that does is it comes back and it triggers this pixel, and this pixel will allow me to show a YouTube ad to them next time they're on YouTube. It'll also allow me to show a Google ad on any other Google platform whether it's Google Search, Google PMX, Display Network, even Gmail and other people's websites.

Now they're starting to hear about you, they're starting to remember you, they're seeing that you're the one helping them. What we want to do is immediately give them what we promise, get them to watch another YouTube video to try to trigger the algorithm, and then try to get them to a thank you page with another video.

Case Study Insight: The thank you page video is crucial for algorithm and pixel activation
What Happened: Double video exposure triggers retargeting across all Google and YouTube properties
Time to Results: Immediate pixel activation upon page visit
Tools/Methods Used: YouTube videos embedded on landing and thank you pages, retargeting pixels

This next video is all going to go in a row, so they're going to hear about you, they're going to click on the page, they're going to go to the thank you page, they're going to watch another video, and this is your opportunity to build a relationship. This is who I am, this is why you can trust me, and this is the next step you should take.

Step 3: Trust-Building Through Educational Content

Now they don't know you or trust you yet, so the very first sales funnel that you want to push them down is educational. Send them maybe to a blog post, get them to a survey form so they fill out a longer survey to see if they're a good fit to work with you, get them to register maybe for a course or a lesson or maybe a webinar.

Then you can actually sell them on a lower-cost item. This client that we work with in particular - if they're brand new, he's going to sell them on a lower-cost package, something that's less than $1,000. You're going to get a very low percentage to actually sign up for that because they don't trust you yet, so we want to make sure we follow up with them again to pay for your higher tier offer.

Case Study Insight: Lower-cost offers under $1,000 serve as trust-building stepping stones
What Happened: Educational content builds authority before attempting any sales
Time to Results: Trust-building process varies by individual prospect
Tools/Methods Used: Blog posts, survey forms, courses, lessons, webinars, and lower-cost packages

Step 4: Multi-Platform Retargeting Strategy

After they see you on Google, after they find you on YouTube, what we want to do is click on this, and once you click, you're going to start seeing recommended ads over on the side here. What I don't like to do is do an ad before a video, so what we want to do is after they watch your video or someone else's video, we want to put a recommended ad right here on the side so they go to that next ad.

If we just do a simple search on YouTube, you can also show your ad up here at the top. If they watch one of your videos, hit that landing page, we're going to retarget them to where a sponsored post shows up here at the top. Additionally, that's where you can start showing up here in these recommended sponsored ads because you know they've already watched your video, they know they've already been to your landing page, and it's a lot easier to get them to come back to build that relationship.

For advanced retargeting strategies, see AI-powered retargeting guide.

Step 5: Automated Email Follow-Up Sequence

After they register and get the free information that you gave them, let's send them an automated email to build trust and build that relationship. I even like to ask them to connect with me more on LinkedIn in this first email. Then we want to wait a day, and that's when we want to start showing our retargeting ads.

Then they'll start seeing your organic YouTube videos since they've already watched one in the past. Now they're going to start seeing you everywhere - they're going to see you in their email, they're going to see you on YouTube organic, they're going to see you on the Google ads.

Then they're going to hopefully come back and learn even more, and that's where email 2 comes in the next day: "Hey, saw you were interested in something like a trademark yesterday, or whatever your law firm specializes in, or for you, anything your business specializes in. Now I want you to come back and watch this video if you haven't done so already. I want to make sure you come and register or fill out that survey so we can build a better relationship, and/or I want you to continue watching videos and learning from me."

Case Study Insight: Multi-touchpoint visibility creates the impression of authority and expertise
What Happened: Prospects see the attorney across email, YouTube organic, and paid ads simultaneously
Time to Results: Email sequence begins immediately after opt-in
Tools/Methods Used: Automated email sequences, LinkedIn connection requests, coordinated retargeting

Step 6: Creating Content Authority Through Volume

That's why you want to not just make one YouTube video - you need to create that flywheel to where you're creating 8 to 12 videos around a topic so you can continue sending them valuable tips, valuable education, valuable videos. Then they're going to automatically think that you're the authority, that you're the expert, and that they're going to trust you before they come back and take this survey again.

Case Study Insight: 8-12 videos on a topic creates perceived authority and expertise
What Happened: Continuous valuable content positions the attorney as the go-to expert
Time to Results: Authority building occurs over multiple video interactions
Tools/Methods Used: Strategic video series, educational content, survey forms

The Results: High-Value Sales Calls with Pre-Qualified Prospects

By the time you get on this sales call, or they fill out the survey and they say they're interested, they respond back to your email, or they come here and they see your video again, they just want to click on it and buy something from you. That's when you're going to get on the call with them, and/or send them something for them to get signed up.

On that call, they're going to say something like this: "Hey, I've been watching your videos, I've got your guide, I've been reading about you, I checked out your law office or your business, and I'm ready to get started because you're the one that's going to be able to help me."

That's the most powerful sales call you'll ever be able to be on, and that's the most valuable thing you can do in your business - have them trust you, learn about you, and build authority before you even speak to them. Every time they log into Google or they log into YouTube, we want them to see you right at the top of the feed so they think of you as the authority in your space.

Case Study Insight: Pre-qualified prospects arrive already convinced and ready to buy
What Happened: Prospects complete their own research and education before the sales call
Time to Results: Higher conversion rates and faster sales cycles
Tools/Methods Used: Complete educational journey, authority building, strategic positioning
