In short

YouTube Shorts: the key takeaways

Updated

Are YouTube Shorts worth the effort?

The numbers speak for themselves. In June 2025, YouTube announced an average of more than 200 billion Shorts views per day. In France, YouTube reaches 51.5 million users according to DataReportal, more than Instagram or TikTok. Shorts have another advantage: they remain findable through YouTube and Google search long after they are published.

What is the maximum length of a Short?

Three minutes. Since 15 October 2024, YouTube has classified any vertical or square video of up to three minutes as a Short, according to its help page. We often repurpose videos shot for TikTok or Reels for YouTube, adapting the title, thumbnail and keywords, because search carries more weight there than anywhere else.

Write to us

Shorts are currently one of the most underused discovery levers: YouTube actively pushes them to compete with TikTok. Well optimised, they establish your brand over time and attract an audience that YouTube search keeps serving months later.

Yes. Shorts are a gateway: a viewer who discovers a Short can subscribe and move on to your long-form videos. They keep the channel fed between two long formats and keep the algorithm engaged.

Partly, but not as a straight copy-paste. A Short performs better when it is re-edited for YouTube's codes: hook, pacing and title optimised for search and recommendations. We adapt rather than duplicate.

To feed recommendations, a pace of 8 to 16 Shorts a month is a good starting point. As on other platforms, consistency held over time beats a one-off spike.

Yes. Studio in Paris, shoots anywhere in France: Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille, Nice, Toulouse, Nantes and every region.

Minimum 6-month commitment, the timeframe over which a content strategy delivers its best results. Pricing depends on the number of Shorts and the level of management: contact us for a tailored quote.

In short

A YouTube Shorts agency creates and optimises short videos for YouTube search and recommendations, to establish a brand over time. Esekai produces Shorts designed for both the algorithm and conversion, from Paris.

Why YouTube Shorts is the most underrated lever

Unlike TikTok, where a video lives for a few days, a well-optimised Short keeps being discovered for weeks through YouTube search and recommendations. The audience is different there, and often more intent-driven. It is a lasting discovery channel that most brands still overlook.

What a YouTube Shorts agency does

Channel strategy, production of Shorts in native 9:16 format, optimisation of titles, descriptions and hooks for YouTube SEO, and alignment with your long-form content if you have any. The goal: keep your channel fed continuously and turn discovery into subscribers, then customers.

Shorts, TikTok and Reels: complementary

All three formats can come from the same shoot, but each has its own codes. We can produce for a single channel or for all three, consistently. See also our TikTok agency and social media agency for a multi-platform strategy.

How our engagement works

An audit of your channel and your subject area, definition of an editorial line, regular Shorts production, performance tracking and adjustments. As with all our engagements, we work over the long term for results that stick.

How much does a YouTube Shorts agency cost

The budget depends on the volume of Shorts produced each month and the level of optimisation you want. We build a tailored offer. Book a 30-minute call to talk it through.
