How much does using TrueView video ads cost your company?
TrueView for reach
These are bought based on targeted CPM (cost per thousand impressions).
TrueView in-stream
These are bought on a cost-per-view basis (CPV).
You are only charged when a viewer watches 30 seconds or more of your company video, or if the video is less than 30 seconds, then you are charged only if the entire video is watched.
You are also only charged when a user acts from a video, such as clicking the video ad to view your site, and a user can skip the ad after five seconds.
TrueView discovery
These are bought on a cost-per-view basis (CPV) and appear on the YouTube home feed or watch feed, as well as search results. For these video ads a viewer must click on it to watch it.
How can your company be sure to target the right audience when using TrueView video ads?
Detailed Demographics
Your video ad will be shown to customers based on specific characteristics (e.g. marital status, household income, parental status and more).
Affinity
Your video ad will be shown to the widest audiences whose interests and habits match your video based on what people search for on Google.
Custom Affinity
Your video ad will be shown only to niche audiences whose interests and habits match your video based on what people search for on Google.
Intent Audiences
Your video ad will be shown based on the type of intent audience below that you choose.
- In-Market Audiences – Consumers who are ready to make a purchase by actively researching or intending to buy a product or service.
- Life Events – Consumers at defined transition periods of their life (e.g. moving to a new house or getting married).
- Custom Intent Audiences – Consumers who searched for specific products or services using Google.
- Remarketing – Consumers who you have interacted with already (e.g. they have already visited your website or YouTube channel).
- Customer Match and Similar Audiences – Here you can upload your own manual customer data and Google will allow you to reengage with them or help you find similar audiences.
How can your company measure the success of using video ads?
