Types of Google Ads for YouTube Videos

There are three types of Google Ads you can use to promote YouTube videos. The best ways to use YouTube and Google Ads are through:

  1. In-stream Ads: These can either be skippable or non-skippable and are used to promote your content before, during, or after other video content on YouTube.
  2. In-search Ads: These are linked to specific keyword searches, appearing above or below search engine results.
  3. In-display Ads: These are paid placements that appear to certain targeted demographics. While in-search ads will only show up to those who search for a product or service, in-display ads will show up to a target audience whether they search or not.
