In-search ads
YouTube in-search ads allow you to place your videos in front of people who are searching for related topics. YouTube allows advertisers to target specific audience segments based on their interests, gender, age, and household income. These types of audience segments can be very specific in their targeting. In addition, YouTube allows you to create multiple campaigns and select a variety of targeting options. These targeted audiences are much more likely to click on your ad than a random one.
In-search ads with TrueView
When you use Adwords for video in-search ads, you can set the targeting to cost-per-action. Unlike traditional display and text ads, you don’t pay for every impression, but only when a viewer completes an engaged view. By engaging in the video, users are likely to take a desired action, such as visiting your website or purchasing your product. Google also suggests that you monitor your campaign’s performance metrics, such as how many viewers watch the video.
In-stream ads with non-skippable ads
In-stream ads are video advertisements that appear on YouTube and partner sites that are part of the Google Display Network. You can set the CPM or cost per view depending on your objectives. You can target users based on their interests or brand awareness. Non-skippable in-stream ads are available for both video and static sites. Depending on your objectives, you can create in-stream ads for sales and lead generation, brand awareness, or reach.
Non-skippable ads
You can use non-skippable ads in Adwords to drive traffic to your video ads. These ads are shown in partner websites and apps associated with the Google Display Network. They are charged per thousand impressions and you can choose to target sales or leads, brand awareness and reach, or video. If you want to make the most of this opportunity, you should set your non-skippable in-stream ads to a Target CPM.
In-stream ads with TrueView
Adwords in-stream ads with True View offer a new way to reach viewers with your content. TrueView ads are embedded within videos and appear alongside search results. They deliver curated context, which can increase customer engagement, while creating a thorough brand awareness. TrueView ads have two types, Brand Awareness and Reach, and they can have both immediate and long-term impact. To maximize the effectiveness of these ads, ensure that your on-page content is relevant to your audience.
