What are video ads?Any video uploaded to YouTube can be an ad. Pre roll video ads appear before other videos on YouTube. Other video ads appear beside playing videos and in search results.
What does video advertising cost?You have complete control over your daily budget, so you can spend what you’re comfortable with.
Plus, you only pay when someone engages with your ad. If they skip it before 30 seconds (or the end) you don't pay a cent.
Who can I target?YouTube has a variety of targeting options that help you reach the right customer for your business. You can target by age, gender, location, interests and more.
How do I measure the results?YouTube has built-in Analytics that make it easy to see how your ad performs. You can also make adjustments to your ad at anytime, and run multiple ads at once to see which works best.
