I own a plumbing business and started doing YouTube videos. Vitriol has given me views and helped me branch out to my local community more. Thank you!
I don't know who is writing positive reviews, but this company looks like total fraud. I wanted to try out short campaign with 100$ and see how it goes. But support guy in the live chat convinced me to pay 300$ + gave me 150$ bonus. Ok, nice. BUT at the moment I've paid 300$ this guy immediately disappeared from the chat! A little strange strange, don't you say? So you interested in clients ONLY before the pay you? Great attitude. After 24 hours from the start of the campaigns stats were still 0. I mean views, impressions etc. I've wrote several emails to the support but received no answer. After that I've asked for the refund, and still haven't received any answer from them. Awful customer support, if to be more exact there is no support at all. If I don't get any feedback about my refund request in the next few days, I'll make YouTube video with the overview of my Virool experience and share it with whole Internet. Be sure, I'll make that video viral :) I already created screenshots + downloaded invoices (just in case). Hope it doesn't come to that and you'll get my money back.
Virool is cool! It helped me alot in my music video and it has 10k audience now in a span of only 2 weeks. I will definitely add funds to them to became an internet sensation. So people, don't waste your money on other agency, use Virool!
Customer service is nice and well-trained and friendly. He assists me well, and all of my questions are answered. I recommend this to my friends and to all people out there who wants to have a huge amount of audience.
I liked using the website. I used Virool to get more views and YouTube subscribers for my music video. I spent $1000 so far and got 20,000 Virool views and about 30,000 views on YouTube as a result + 1243 new YouTube subscribers. The promotion wasn't cheap, but the people seemed real. Scott from their customer support team helped me out through the process and helped me understand the analytics.
Overall, it's a good tool, but requires some tweaking to make it work right!
I read quite a few reviews of Virool before deciding to spend our company's $15,000 budget on marketing few videos with their platform. Here are some things that I wanted to point out.
Pros:
- The service is legitimate. The company is backed by everyone from creator of Gmail to Lady Gaga's manager. They have been featured in all of the major press, so they are the real deal
- Customer service was good.
- I was able to get a video campaign setup immediately
- It was easy to setup a campaign
Cons:
- There wasn't enough documentation online on how to best use the service for our particular videos (chain of automotive body shops)
- I didn't realize that I could opt out of certain publisher placements until few days after my campaign started running
That's about it.

I work for VICE, now an infamous creator of documentaries on YouTube. We used Virool for variety of projects, but most notably for our work with Intel, K-Swiss, W Hotels and Levis Jeans. We created a number of small documentaries for these brands and were able to get some exposure to them through our established audience on YouTube and our website.
We then used Virool to target people we believe would respond best to this content. What blew me away about Virool platform was during our promotion, the targeting was automatically adjusted for placements and audience that was best responding to various videos… which in the end meant: higher engagement, more sharing, more buzz and more earned media.
At VICE we are fans of the work that Virool is doing. Keep it up boys!
Viroolians are HUGE fans of VICE and it's always a pleasure to work with you. Thank you for sharing your experience with our platform and we are looking forward to keep working with you.
Virool is a great platform for distributing video content, but don't expect it to be a silver bullet. $10 is not going to get you viral and you are probably an idiot for thinking that it would in the first place.
James, thanks for sharing!
