Maximize your YouTube earnings
One hit song can generate over 80,000 videos, and too many of those go undetected—meaning that you’re not getting paid. Our ProKlaim technology, integrated with YouTube, ensures that we find and claim missing content for our artists and songwriters. The result: more money, faster.
It’s our responsibility to build a future where all songwriters, artists and creators get paid fairly and trust the music industry.
