YouTube Advertising

Video ads on YouTube. Since Google owns YouTube, YouTube Ads share many of the same features as Google Ads, but with one big difference: they're videos. Ads can appear before, during or after the video someone is watching. Some YouTube ad formats may be skipped by viewers after a few seconds of playback, while others may not be skipped. YouTube ads can be pay-per-view (PPV) or pay-per-click (PPC), depending on duration and placement.

What is advertising on YouTube?

YouTube ads are video ads that appear on the channel's website, app, and partner sites, known as the Google Display Network (GDN). Since YouTube is part of Google, the advertisers benefit from Google's extensive user data. This information, collected from viewers' Google search history and YouTube browsing behavior, can be used to accurately target an ad campaign. Targeting is what makes YouTube ads so compelling because it allows you to display promotional videos of your business alongside relevant YouTube videos that millions of people watch for entertainment or education.

Types of YouTube Video Ads

The three YouTube video ad formats offer different placement and duration options. Check out the best option for your advertising goals below.

TrueView ads

TrueView ads are useful for building awareness and increasing visibility. YouTube offers two types of TrueView ads:

TrueView ads for video discovery appear on YouTube, where viewers find video content. It can be in YouTube search results, on the YouTube homepage, or in the right sidebar next to a related video. They are marked with a small yellow box, which indicates that they are advertisements. Unlike other YouTube ad formats, video discovery ads require viewers to click on them to watch them. This makes TrueView Video Discovery ads ideal for both superficial and potential leads. After all, when someone clicks on your ad, it's a strong signal that they're interested in what you have to offer.
TrueView In-Stream ads play before, during, or after a video someone is watching on YouTube or the Google Display Network. As an advertiser, you can place call-to-action text (CTA) over in-app ads or, in some cases, choose to display a corresponding banner next to an ad even after the ad has ended. Ads will automatically appear and play when someone is ready to watch another YouTube video. They can be ignored after a few seconds. You don't pay for skipped ads, but if your ads are simply skipped, they may be flagged as low quality, meaning you'll have to pay more to show them to viewers. This is a good reason to make sure your video content is engaging.

Welcome announcements

Welcome ads are the shortest video ads on YouTube and are only 6 seconds long. They cannot be skipped or played before, during or after another video on YouTube and the Display Network. The brevity of display ads makes them a good option for quick promotion within a larger video campaign. For example, some YouTube advertisers use this format to increase brand awareness by creating longer commercials to introduce their business to new viewers and additional ads to reinforce their brand message.

Ads that cannot be skipped

Non-skippable ads, known as introductory ads, may appear before, during, or after watching the video. Ads can last up to 15 seconds in the US and other parts of the world, and up to 20 seconds in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, India, Malaysia and Singapore. They can be featured on YouTube and the Display Network. With non-skippable ads, you can tell a richer story than other ads and grab your audience's attention. While this is a great opportunity to deepen someone's relationship or understanding with your business, it's still important to tell a great story. Good means informative, entertaining and useful. It's about a lot. If you miss one, viewers will click. If you can do this, people can share your ads on social media.

How to advertise on YouTube

The following steps will get you off to a good start on YouTube. After uploading your YouTube ad, make sure your campaign is set up correctly:

Connect Google AdWords to your YouTube channel.
In the AdWords dashboard, click + and select New campaign.
Select the campaign target from the predefined options, eg B. Brand awareness or potential new customers. This provides a list of available campaign types. Select Videos.
Select the YouTube ad format (TrueView, can't be skipped, etc.).
Name your campaign and enter your budget. In most cases, you set your budget based on a cost perspective (CPV). Choose the maximum amount you want to pay per view, or aim for an average daily amount. You also have the option to increase or decrease your mobile advertising bid.
Select the networks where you want your ad to appear. Options include YouTube videos and search results, and videos streamed on GDN.
Limit your target audience.
- Select the regions and languages you want to target.
- Filter by demographics such as age and income, as well as audience interests such as sports and technology.
- Connect with people who have visited certain websites or have shown through their surfing behavior that they are interested in an offer like yours.
- Refine your mobile segmentation by operating systems, devices, and carriers.
- If you need even more precise targeting, select specific YouTube channels or videos where you want your ads to appear.
Assign the ads you want to show to your campaign.
Use advanced settings to set your campaign start and end dates and maximum daily impressions.

Optimize YouTube video viewing

Once you've launched your YouTube campaign, use these best practices to build and maintain momentum.

Think beyond demographics

While targeting people by age, location, or gender can be effective, you can find better leads by targeting behaviors and interests. For example, someone who regularly visits websites devoted to boating has better prospects than someone who lives near water. As you gain experience with potential YouTube viewers, you can exclude topics related to your ad that have performed poorly in the past. You can also link your ads to relevant pages on the Display Network or target people who are already connected to your business.

Be direct

Include specific calls-to-actions (CTAs) in your YouTube ads to direct viewers to the right step. Typical CTAs visit your website, ask for more information, or make offers to sell, register for an event, or place an order. Avoid generic CTAs like Click Here, as specific CTAs will always perform better. You can also create a response by including a special offer, ideally for a limited time, to create a sense of urgency. For longer YouTube ads, add an end screen, an end frame in your video that shows the action you want people to take.

Set up conversion tracking

Add a tracking code called a beacon to your website to see what happens after users click on your YouTube ads. This will tell you which ads are generating the most valuable activity and which are underperforming. You can use this information to target your ad spend on the ads that deliver the best results. For example, you may find that a particular call-to-action results in more form submissions, or that a region-targeted ad leads to more sales.

Understand the bidding process

The amount you pay for YouTube ads depends on the type of ad and its success. For skippable ads, YouTube charges for each time a viewer clicks on your CTA, watches at least 30 seconds, or watches your ad continuously (if less than 30 seconds). Non-skippable and welcome ads are charged per 1,000 impressions (CPM). You will find out more soon. YouTube charges TrueView Video Discovery ads when someone clicks on your video to watch it, regardless of watch time (CPV).

How much you end up paying for your ads will depend on your bid per view or 1,000 impressions. Remember that your bid per view isn't always the price you're willing to pay, it's the maximum price you're willing to pay. The true value is 1 cent more than the second lowest price anyone else is willing to pay. An example may help. Let's say you set your CPV at $0.30, but the next highest bid is $0.20. Then you only pay € 0.21 per call. In general, the more accurately you target your audience, the more you should be willing to pay. Some tests may be required to find the correct bet amount. Bids that are too low can prevent your ads from showing as often as you'd like, and higher bids can mean your ads appear in better positions.

Track your achievements

Check out the different metrics you can track to track campaign performance. View Rating and CPV are good starting points. A view is defined as a user who watches or clicks on your ad for at least 30 seconds or until the end (whichever is shorter). Your view rate is a number divided by the number of times your ad has been shown. In general, shorter ads have higher view rates. A high view rate indicates that your video and orientation are in good shape.

As you track this information for different ads, you'll discover which ads better fit your goals. You'll also get an idea of the best performing YouTube ads so you can decide how to spend your budget. Adjusting your video bidding, targeting, and delivery strategies can improve your results.
