Local Adwords Academy Class Notes - Lesson #9
YouTube Ads
This lesson is about YouTube Ads. This is something that you can apply for many years to come.
In previous lessons we have covered
- Search Ads (Traditional Ads)
- Call Only Ads
Now we will cover
- YouTube Ads
How these methods look in a flow chart format:
Traditional Search Ads start with the keyword search, which shows the ad. If the searcher clicks on the
ad, they go to the website and maybe they will become your client.
With Pay Per Call, you eliminate the website. The prospect searches the keyword from a mobile phone,
sees your ad, clicks the phone number to call you (directly from the ad, without seeing a website), and
you can convert them to a client right on the phone call.
With YouTube Ads, the searcher enters a keyword, and YouTube shows them a video. And on that video,
you can show an ad. The viewer can click on the ad and go to the website, and your website can convert
them to a client. This is the method we are covering in this lesson.
Why Should You Advertise on YouTube?
1: Second Largest Search Engine in the World
2: Almost 5 Billion videos are watched on YouTube every single day
3: 45% of people watch more than an hour of YouTube video content per week
4: 51% of Marketing Professionals worldwide name video as the type of content with the best ROI
5: By 2019, Internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer Internet traffic
And, Best of All:
6: Video Ads are very cheap
YouTube Ads Keywords
1. Local Intent
2. High Searched
3. Broad
The difference between Search Ads keywords and YouTube Ads keywords – with Search Ads, you also
want to use local intent, but you stay away from the high searched keywords because they are
expensive. With YouTube Ads, you can use high searched keywords because they are just a few cents.
YouTube Ads Video
1. Professional
2. 30 to 60 seconds
3. Strong Opening
Your video must look professional and have a strong opening. You want to grab their attention from the
very beginning, not only at the end.
Let’s Get to Work
When you log in, go to All Campaigns, click on the Campaigns tab, and this is where you can create a
YouTube ad campaign. But first, we need to collect the keywords for the campaign.
1. Collecting the Keywords:
Go to Tools (1) and click on Keyword Planner (2).
Click on Find new keywords (3).
Now, for a Search Ad (on Google.com), you would enter something like auto repair near me, because
you would want local intent keywords when you’re doing traditional ads. For YouTube it doesn’t matter
(in the keyword), because you will specify the location in another setting.
You don’t need local intent keywords. So, only enter high searched keywords, like auto repair and car
repair (with a comma between them) … then click on Get Started and let Google do the work.
Google is showing all the keyword ideas that are related to those two keywords you entered, auto repair
and car repair. Download the ideas (click on Download Keyword Ideas).
Google is now providing a huge report, over 1,000 keyword ideas. It will take a little bit of time for
Google to put it all into a nice CSV file.
Here is the report that you get from Google.
Remove some columns you don’t need (select the column, right click, then click Delete from the drop
down menu). You don’t need the Currency column that’s showing USD. You don’t need the Avg.
monthly searches column that’s showing N/A.
Select and delete all the remaining columns except for the Min search column with the 10,000 or
100,000 or 1,000 beside each keyword.
Jack also deleted the top three rows with the date range and column headings, as they will not be
needed. You only have two columns remaining, and you know they are Keyword and Min. search
without seeing the headings. So, you can select and delete the top three rows, like this:
Now you are left with a nice, clean spreadsheet to work with (below). And it is good to sort that second
column (the minimum number of searches) so that the high searched keywords are listed first.
Click on the column B heading (1), click Sort (2), select what to sort on (3), click OK (4) at the bottom.
Now use column C to mark any keywords that do not have the same intent. Put a “1” beside each
keyword that you do not want to use because your client’s business does not do that service.
You need to ask the client what he does, then you filter out all the keywords that do not fit with the
services that the client provides.
When you’ve gone through the whole list, select the three columns and Sort them.
Click to expand the drop down menus for Column and then for Order.
Under Column, Sort by Column C. Under Order, choose Largest to Smallest and click OK at the bottom.
Scroll to the top. Select and delete all the rows that have “1” filled in.
Now we have a list of keywords, and all the wrong keywords have been filtered out.
2. Setting Up the Campaign:
Click the Back arrow to go back to the campaign.
Click on Campaigns, then click on the Plus sign.
Select New campaign.
Click on Product and brand considerations, and a new panel will open up below.
Select Video as the campaign type.
Select Standard consideration as the campaign subtype, and click on Continue.
Give your campaign a Campaign name.
Choose Daily for the Budget Type, and set an amount based on your client’s budget. If they want to
spend $1,000 per month, divide it by 30 and put $30. If they want to spend $300 per month, you would
put $10. But for now, we’ll put $1.00, because if you forget to change it you will be charged $10.00. Or
if you don’t want to risk even $1.00 per day, change it to one cent ($ 0.01).
(1) For Start and end dates, select Start as soon as possible.
(2) For Networks, click on it to expand the dropdown menu.
Do NOT include the Video partners (because you only want to advertise on Google, not on other
people’s websites.) Click the blue check mark to deselect Video partners.
Click to expand Locations, and type in the city or cities where you want to show your ad.
Bidding strategy – Maximum CPV (cost per view) means that you pay Google for the views, and that’s
what you want. It’s the default setting, so you should not have to change it.
Below Content exclusions, click on Additional settings to display more options including Frequency
capping.
Click on Frequency capping to show the additional choices.
Select Number of impressions and set it to 1 per day. You don’t want to bother the visitor by showing it
more than once per day. (You can leave Number of views blank.)
All of the above are the Campaign settings. Now you go into the Group settings.
Give your Ad group a name (1).
Click on Keywords (2). (You can add settings for Demographics and Audiences later if you want to.)
This is where you will paste your list of keywords that you collected and filtered.
Go to your Excel file and select the Keywords column. Right click and select Copy.
Come back to the campaign, put the cursor in the box; right click and select Paste (or use Control-V).
The keywords will fill in (see image on the right). Now we are telling Google exactly which services,
which search terms we want to use.
Scroll down to Bidding and set your Maximum CPV bid to just pennies … $ 0.05.
The Campaign (Including Keywords and Ad Group) is set up. Now you will create the Video Ad.
3. Creating the Video Ad:
This is how easy it is: you put the URL of the video into this field.
Of course, you will need to have your ad video uploaded to your YouTube channel first. Make it an
unlisted video when you upload it. Then get the URL and paste it into that field.
You can create your own video, or use one of the niche videos that’s available for certain niches inside of
Local Theme Jack. Go to https://www.ibizleads.com/demo/ to see the list of niches. Each one that shows
the letter ”V” has a high-converting, professional video created for it. Jack will make them available for a
small fee, much cheaper than if you have a video made yourself.
Paste in the URL of your unlisted YouTube video…
… and this opens up:
Select In-stream ad, and the preview shows on the right.
