What you get

Choose the format
for the audience.

Ad type depends on the available budget and the audience the campaign needs to reach.

  • TrueView ads

    Skippable pre-video ads can present how-to content, demos, testimonials, and a strong call to action.

  • TrueView in-stream ads

    In-video ads can also run across Google’s display network and include a companion banner linking to your website.

  • Bumper ads

    Non-skippable post-video ads offer a short format suited to mobile targeting and repurposed longer content.

Why it matters

Reach precisely.
Strengthen search.

YouTube campaigns bring video creative to audiences selected by detailed signals rather than broad exposure alone. When added to search ads, they can increase conversion volume and conversion rates while reducing search cost per acquisition.

  • Target detailed audience groups
  • Connect video and search campaigns
  • Increase search conversion volume
  • Lower search cost per acquisition
