Getting Started

Who is Scout Me Online for?
SMO is for amateur and semi-professional footballers who want to increase their visibility to scouts, agents, and clubs. Whether you're playing in a Sunday league, a regional league, or a lower-division professional setup, if you have the talent, we can help get you seen.
What do I need to submit?
Just your raw match or training footage. Any format works — MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and more are all accepted. Maximum file size is 4GB per submission. Our team handles all editing, branding, and distribution from there.
How long does it take to get my highlight live?
Typically 3–5 working days from submission. Pro plan members receive priority processing and can expect turnaround within 48 hours.

Distribution & Scouts

Which scouts and clubs will see my video?
We distribute to a verified network of 109+ clubs, agents, and scouts across 35+ countries. Your video is sent directly to their inboxes — not just posted publicly and hoped for the best.
Which countries do you distribute to?
Our network spans Europe (including the UK, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands), Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia and the Americas. We're continuously growing our network of contacts.
Will I know if a scout watches my video?
Pro plan members receive performance insights including view counts and distribution reach reports. We're building more detailed analytics — including individual scout engagement — for future updates across all plans.

Plans & Payments

What's the difference between the plans?
Amateur (£30 one-time) is a single professional edit and one distribution round. Semi-Pro (£15/month) adds recurring edits, priority distribution, repeated exposure, and performance insights. Pro (£20/month) adds dedicated promotions and featuring across SMO's social channels for maximum reach.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time before your next billing date with no cancellation fees or hidden commitments. Your access continues until the end of your current paid period.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes — you can change your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Your Footage

Is my footage kept private?
Your highlight videos are shared exclusively with our verified scout and club network. We never publicly post your footage on social media or anywhere else without your explicit consent.
Do I retain ownership of my footage?
Yes — you retain full ownership of your original footage at all times. By submitting, you grant SMO a non-exclusive licence to edit and distribute the produced highlight reel to our scout network on your behalf.
What quality does my footage need to be?
The better the quality, the better the result. We recommend 1080p or higher, but we can work with most footage. Even phone-filmed training clips can produce solid highlights. Our team will always make the most of what you send.

Results

Do you guarantee I'll get signed?
We can't guarantee signings — that depends on your talent and the right opportunity. What we guarantee is professional-quality content and maximum visibility to the right people at the right clubs. We've seen 20+ players make significant career progressions through SMO.
How quickly could I hear from a scout?
Timelines vary widely. Some players hear back within weeks; others build interest over several months of repeated exposure. That's why we recommend the Semi-Pro or Pro plan — consistent visibility compounds over time.
