Google Video Ads
Google Video ads are a powerful form of digital advertising that use video content to engage audiences across platforms like YouTube and the Google Display Network. These ads can appear before, during, or after video content, and can be either skippable or non-skippable depending on the format.
Common types include TrueView ads (skippable in-stream), bumper ads (6-second non-skippable), outstream ads (shown on partner sites), and video discovery ads (appear in YouTube search results). Video ads are typically billed based on views or impressions and offer precise targeting options like demographics, interests, and intent-based audiences.
They are effective for brand awareness, engagement, and driving conversions, especially when optimized using features such as Google’s automated bidding and Brand Lift studies.
