YouTube Campaign Types – A Quick OverviewYouTube Campaign Types – A Quick Overview

YouTube offers a variety of advertising formats to help you reach your customers with different marketing objectives. This article gives a quick overview of the most popular YouTube campaign types so you can select the best ad format for your company.

Skippable in-stream ads play before, during, or after the video content a user watches. They are short, typically 30 seconds or less, and allow viewers to skip the ad after five seconds. They are great for increasing brand awareness, driving website traffic, generating leads, and driving product sales.

Exploring Campaign Types: Strategies for Your YouTube Marketing

Non-skippable in-stream videos are similar to skippable ads, but they can’t be skipped. They can be up to 20 seconds long and are displayed in the same places as other videos. These ads can increase viewer engagement, but they can annoy some users, especially if they’re too long or don’t have a clear call to action.

In-feed video ads, formerly known as discovery ads, appear in the YouTube search results and in recommendations to other users. They allow you to pay to promote your own video content in place of organic videos that match your audience’s interests. They can lead to more click-throughs and conversions because they are viewed in context with other relevant videos on YouTube.

Display ads are text or image ads that don’t appear as a video over the content a user is watching. They’re a good choice to complement other in-stream and overlay ad types because they don’t obstruct the view of the video.

Maximize Conversions: Facebook Lead AdsMaximize Conversions: Facebook Lead Ads

Maximize Conversions: Facebook Lead Ads make it easy to collect lead info right in the app, whether you’re a car dealership looking for test drive sign-ups or a fitness studio offering free classes. However, not all Facebook users who complete your lead form will go on to become customers, so the Facebook platform has rolled out a performance goal called Maximize Conversions: Facebook Lead Ads that allows you to prioritize those top-of-funnel leads.

Optimizing Results: Maximize Conversions with Facebook Lead Ads

The best way to take advantage of this feature is by leveraging CRM data through a conversion pixel integration like LeadsBridge. The integration works to sync your Facebook ads with your CRM, allowing you to create custom audiences based on website visitors who perform the desired action and then reconnect with them with personalized ads. This is a powerful strategy for driving cost-effective and qualified leads.

Another way to take advantage of the Maximize Conversions: Facebook Leads option is to set your campaign objective to “Conversions” or “Reach.” Facebook’s default for traffic campaigns is link clicks, but we recommend choosing landing page views instead (this filters out accidental clicks). For reach campaigns, we’d stick with Impressions as well.

With these Facebook Ads performance goals, you can focus on capturing high-intent leads, increasing your ad’s effectiveness, and reaching more people who are likely to become paying customers. It’s important to keep in mind, however, that auto-optimization rules won’t replace the need for you to continuously monitor ad performance and make manual adjustments.
