How Do You Advertise on YouTube? A Step-by-Step Guide

YouTube ads run through Google Ads: upload your video to your channel, link the channel to Google Ads, create a video campaign for your goal, set audience and budget, and choose a format. The key is a video that grabs attention in the first seconds.

YouTube ads are created in Google Ads using videos uploaded to your YouTube channel.

  1. Upload the video (public or unlisted) and link your channel to Google Ads.
  2. Choose a goal: awareness and reach, consideration, or sales and leads.
  3. Set budget and bidding, then define audiences by location, language, demographics, interests, in-market segments, custom segments or past channel viewers.
  4. Pick a format and add final URL, call to action and headline, then launch and monitor.
  • Formats: skippable and non-skippable in-stream, bumper ads of up to six seconds, in-feed video ads and Shorts ads. Check current platform rules.
  • Creative tips: hook viewers early, show the brand early, focus on one message, add captions and adapt versions for each format.
  • Measurement: reach, view rate, completion and view-through conversions, not just clicks.
