Editor's Notes
- Insert Scott’s Info here.
- Blaine Thanks, Kari/Tad… I’m going to start off by giving a brief introduction of Google AdWords for Video
- Blaine Why do it? Because [statistic] Access it by connecting your YouTube account with your AdWords account This allows you to promote your existing YouTube videos as ads Manage these campaigns with all of your other campaigns right in adwords
- Blaine Just so you can go into it with the right expectations, there are no conversion actions available on YouTube at this time. You still have to rely on some other tactic to convert them This makes YouTube a good top-of-the-funnel marketing tactic Supplement product/service by showing how it works, or highlighting the benefits of it In this case, could be considered middle-of-the-funnel Get that “first-notice” from someone who has never heard of you before Maintain top-of-mind awareness so people don’t forget about you Ultimately, it’s up to you and the rest of your marketing tactics to convert a viewer into a buyer
- Blaine Since there are no conversions, what do you track? Views People who watch your ad Treat it like you would a click on a standard AdWords ad Just as more clicks doesn’t equal more sales, more views do not equal more sales Follow-On Views People who watch your ad, then immediately watch more videos from your channel Good measure of engagement within YouTube Follow-On Subscribes People who watch your ad, then subscribe to your channel Better measure of engagement within YouTube Website Clicks People who watch your ad, then click through to your website Best measure of success for lead generation If you can get them to your site, then your video ad is doing it’s job Your other marketing tactics can take over from there and bring them down the funnel
- Blaine View Watch the video Depends on the ad type More on that later Follow-On Views After watching this video, viewer clicks on another KEXP Radio video on the right Follow-On Subscribes After watching this video, viewer clicks the subscribe button Website Click After watching this video, viewer clicks on the link in the description and goes to the website
- Blaine How to get people to the website As mentioned in the previous slide, you can put a link in the description of your video that will take people to your website Another method is by using a Call to Action Overlay These look like text ads You set one up in the AdWords, and choose your messaging and your destination URL Lastly, In-Stream ads can bring people directly to your website Set a destination URL If a viewer clicks on the video as it is playing, the click takes them to that URL
- Blaine I’m going to give you an overview of the types of ads you can use.
- Blaine First is In-Stream These ads as play before a video that the viewer had originally chosen to watch They do have the option to skip after 5 seconds, but if your video is intriguing enough, you can get them to watch the whole thing You as the advertiser are only charged for a view if the viewer watches 30 seconds of the video, or the entire video (whichever is shorter) If you promote a 15 second video, and the viewer would have to watch the whole video in order for you to be charged with a view If your ad is skipped after 5 seconds, then you will not be charged with a view Really use these videos as “bait” to draw people into your conversion funnel Make it quick, but also engaging – you want it to be something that sparks the viewers interest As mentioned before, you can set a destination URL for this ad type If someone clicks on the video as it is playing, that click will take them to that URL These are also good for branding and maintaining top-of-mind awareness if that’s what your goals are
- Blaine Next are In-Display ads These show up on the side of a YouTube page in that yellow-shaded box These ads are great for viewers that don’t know you yet, but might be interested in what you do In this example, the video being watched was how to string an acoustic guitar On the side, the viewer sees an ad for how to build their own road case As a DIY musician, that sounds interesting to him, so he clicks on the ad and watches the video The company that created the video sells all of the hardware that he would need to get the job done, so he goes to their website and starts filling up his shopping cart
- Blaine Lastly, there are In-Search ads These ads act similarly to the standard AdWords text ad on the Search Network If you know people are searching for you, or the thing that you do, do everything in your power to make sure they find you and not a competitor In this example, I searched for Pepsi, and the only ad I saw was for Coke
- Blaine Now I’m going to tell you about all of the different remarketing possibilities that come from Google AdWords for Video Remarketing stat?
- Blaine By connecting your YouTube channel with AdWords, you open up many new options for creating remarketing lists These options consist of a variety of ways that viewers interact with your channel and videos, such as the ones listed below You can use these lists in a variety of different ways…
- Blaine You can remarket to your YouTube viewers with YouTube ads. One example of how this could be used would be within the context of a series of videos First, you publish Video 1, and knowing that the next video in the series is coming out a month later, you set up a remarketing list to capture all of the viewers of Video 1 When Video 2 is published, you can promote it to all of the viewers in that remarketing list to make sure they continue with the series Another way to use this is to have a “Call to action” video A viewer watches Video 1 and they are added to a remarketing list You can then promote a video that tells them “you saw these things in Video 1, now we want you to do this. Go to our website to do it”
- Blaine You can remarket to your website visitors with YouTube ads as well This could be a good idea for a retail or ecommerce brand Someone goes to your website and checks out a product page, but doesn’t buy the item If you have a remarketing list set up for that item, you can promote a video that showcases how to use that item or the benefits of having it As always you could use this to maintain top-of-mind awareness as well
- Blaine Lastly, you can remarket to your YouTube viewers with AdWords ads This could be used to help close a sale A viewer watches a video that showcases a certain product If you have a remarketing list for that video set up, you can then promote banner ads for that product via the Google Display network, encouraging to come to your website and purchase the product or request a quote for your service
