In response, Google has been working hard at building a rich YouTube experience for set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and streaming devices such as Chromecast and Smart TVs.<\/p>\n<p>That hard work has paid off, as now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/11-big-changes-from-google-that-impact-your-video-ads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google TV Ads<\/a> is available alongside Google Search Ads and Display Ads, providing marketers with a more dynamic way of reaching their audience.<\/p>\n<h2>What has Been the Success Rate?<\/h2>\n<p>Google allows you to view reporting for TV Ads to help determine the impact each ad has, which can help you calculate the success rate of each ad you post.<\/p>\n<p>In general, according to Google, people react positively to Ads on TV, specifically. In fact, YouTube TV Ads drive a significant increase in ad recall and purchase intent, with a average gain of 47% and 35% respectively.<\/p>\n<p>This provides a decent glimpse into what the Google TV Ads success rate will look like in the future on a larger scale.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Set-Up Device Targeting for Video Campaigns?<\/h2>\n<p>The great thing about video campaigns, is that you can adopt a multichannel approach that reaches viewers on multiple different devices.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to target a device and monitor success rates, simply follow these 9 steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sign in to Google Ads<\/li>\n<li>Click \u201cCampaigns\u201d in the Page menu<\/li>\n<li>Select a video campaign<\/li>\n<li>Click \u201cDevices\u201d in the Page menu<\/li>\n<li>Hover over the device type you want to target<\/li>\n<li>Click the pencil icon in the Bid adj. column<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cIncrease\u201d or \u201cDecrease\u201d from the drop-down<\/li>\n<li>Enter the percentage you want to adjust targeting by<\/li>\n<li>Click Save<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Are Google TV Ads Worth Investing In?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Google TV Ads can be very friendly to advertisers with tight budgets. In fact, one of the major Google TV Ads benefits is that it\u2019s a cheaper marketing option than traditional TV Ads you\u2019d watch on cable.<\/p>\n<p>On top of the economic benefits, having another device option for segmentation proves beneficial when it comes to controlling bid results.<\/p>\n<p>If you check the campaign view, you\u2019ll see various columns that offer information on how long people watch TV, and the earned actions taken by users after interacting with a paid video ad.<\/p>\n<p>This information is valuable in making proper bid adjustments, and can be vital when trying to get the most out of your marketing budget.<\/p>\n<p>If your analytics results notify you that more of your users are using Smart TVs instead of desktops, you\u2019ll be able to lower the amount you\u2019re paying for a conversion on computers and add the difference to Smart TVs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Some Key Considerations About Google TV Ads<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No matter what Google TV Ads device type or advertisement format you are using, always make sure the content is tailored to the platform\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that the design for each video advertisement is responsive to Smart TVs and that you\u2019re offering your best video for big screens.<\/p>\n<p>Also, never forget this:<\/p>\n<p>Creativity is key.<\/p>\n<p>Using creativity properly can allow you to blaze a trail to success for your business, as long as the campaign is equipped with the desired effect.
