Try Marketing EstimatorWhat is YouTube advertising & how does it work?
YouTube Advertising is the process of advertising your video content on YouTube or in search results using Google Ads (formerly AdWords). Advertising on YouTube allows you to select when you would like your ad to appear, so it can either play before a user views a related video, at the end of a video, mid-stream, within the search results and more.
YouTube is the second-most influential channel for purchases and this is only growing, so there is endless potential to maximize your ads reach and your Return On Ad Spend (ROAS). YouTube advertising is processed via Google Ads, so it works in the same way — you target your audience based on a number of factors such as keyphrases, topics or user interests, and then your ad is shown to these people.
But, just how does YouTube decide which ads to play? It’s no act of random chance. It’s the result of expert video optimization tactics combined with Google’s auction algorithm.
