Song Placement Pros a Division of Merf Music Group
How It Works
SONG PLACEMENT PROS
​
We are a songwriter development, industry strategy, and selective industry access platform. We work with independent songwriters, artists, and publishers who want to strengthen their craft, understand today’s marketplace, and position exceptional songs for professional opportunities. Membership in Song Placement Pros does not automatically create an agency, management, publishing, or representation relationship. Our primary focus is development, education, and strategic guidance.
​
OUR GOAL
Our goal is to help songwriters build forward momentum by improving song quality, understanding market standards, and learning how to compete professionally.
We begin with craft. Through constructive song evaluation, education, and mentorship, we help writers identify strengths, weaknesses, and commercial positioning opportunities.
​
QUALITY COMES FIRST
​
We maintain professional standards. Not every song submitted will be considered ready for industry introduction.
When material meets current professional and commercial standards, we may, at our sole discretion, introduce exceptional songs to appropriate industry contacts.
Submission of music or payment of membership fees does not guarantee pitching, review, placement, or representation.
​
ARE WORK TAPES OKAY?
​
Yes. Work tapes are acceptable for evaluation purposes.
For project submissions or specific opportunity consideration, professional-quality demos may be required depending on the standards of the receiving party.
Our Mission
​
THE MUSIC BUSINESS EVOLES CONSTANTLY
Our mission is to provide songwriters with education, insight, and strategic clarity so they can make informed decisions about their careers. ​ We focus on songwriter development at all levels, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced by offering guidance, evaluation, and industry education. We do not promise access. We focus on readiness.

THE PROCESS
​
If a song is not ready, we explain why and offer guidance on how to strengthen it.
If a song meets professional standards and aligns with an appropriate opportunity, we may, at our discretion, facilitate an introduction or submission pathway. We are not obligated to pitch or promote any particular song. Decisions to introduce material are based solely on professional judgment and industry fit.
​
MEMBER RESPONSIBILITY
​
Your responsibility is to create competitive, high-quality music.
Our role is to provide evaluation, education, and strategic feedback to help you reach that level. Any industry introductions are selective and discretionary.
​
TIER STRUCTURE
​
Members may submit up to a specified number of songs per month for evaluation and consideration. Advancement within the tier structure reflects demonstrated song quality, professionalism, and commercial readiness. Advancement does not guarantee representation or ongoing pitching services.
​
DIAMOND LEVEL
​
In cases where a song results in a confirmed placement due to direct introduction efforts by SPP, a separate written agreement will govern revenue participation terms.
Royalty splits, administration services, or percentage arrangements are not automatic and apply only under written agreements tied to specific songs or placements.
​
COMPENSATION STRUCTURE
​
If SPP directly secures a placement for a specific song, revenue participation terms will be documented in writing and limited to that song and the defined term.
Otherwise, members retain full ownership and control of their copyrights and are free to pursue opportunities independently. We do not claim ownership of your copyrights through membership.
​
EDUCATIONAL AND SUPPORT SERVICES
​
Membership includes access to:
​
• Song evaluation and feedback
• Educational resources
• Industry protocol guidance
• Project research and opportunity listings
• Networking and mentorship opportunities
• General music business insight upon request
​
Industry Introductions Disclaimer
​
Song Placement Pros does not guarantee placements, reviews, responses, meetings, or commercial outcomes. We are not a talent agency. We do not procure employment. We do not act as legal counsel. Any introductions made are discretionary and based solely on professional judgment.
