How To Reach The Right Audience On YouTube
Normally I will tell a story or shoot the breeze for a bit before I jump into the meat of my message. But we do not have time for that because I am about to show you something amazing.
Not Kidding!
This is the ultimate lesson on how to reach the right audience with YouTube ads. When I say “right audience” I mean those people who are looking for your product or service.
We are not just talking about clicks or cheap traffic. We are talking about conversions.
You can target certain groups that are interested in your product or service and I am going to show you how.
Note…there are some options for big brands who like spending a lot of money for top of mind purchasing, but I really want to focus on in-market audiences. In other words…Conversions
Let’s jump in.
Finding people who are interested in your product or service
Choosing the right audience in ad groups can make or break your campaign. Google Display Network provides you with a lot of options yet you have to be careful. Listen to what Google says. This is how they collect so much data on people and what they are searching for. Yes!
“When someone visits a Google partner website, we may use the content of the page or website to show contextually relevant ads. We use the main topics and themes from the page as well as data from third-party companies to associate interests with a visitor’s anonymous Cookie ID. This takes into account how often people visit sites like those, among other factors.
“Google may use information that people provide to these partner websites about their gender, age, and other demographic or interest information. We may also use the websites people visit and third-party data to infer this information. For example, if the sites a person visits have a majority of female visitors (based on aggregated survey data on site visitation), we may associate the person's cookie with the female demographic category.”
Basically you’re being tracked. Everything you are doing on the internet provides Google with information so that they can run you targeted ads.
This includes YouTube ads otherwise know as Trueview ads.
Back in February Google made a big adjustment to Trueview Video Ads. They divided the audiences into to groups.
1. Affinity Audiences
2. Custom Affinity Audiences
3. In-Marketing Audiences
Affinity Audience (broad)
If you are going to use Affinity Audiences you will want to make sure you have a nice chunk of money sitting around. This audience is set up for big brands who would like to extend their TV campaign to an online context. They can also do some targeting, but everything is more broad.
We do not suggest this, but to each their own.
Here is how to limit the affinity audience. For ex

Here is how to limit the affinity audience. For example, instead of
reaching hotel lovers, a hotel located in San Francisco may want to

4. reach a certain tech audience that will fit their hotel style. Or instead of
reaching Women, a Women’s clothing story may want to reach women
who love a certain style of dress. You can do this by:
-Using free form interests entered as keywords
-And/or using URLs as proxy for interests
In-Market Audiences (more Defined)
When you use In-market audiences you are able to reach customers
who are actively searching for your product or service. Once again,
Google uses all of your search history and browsing data to determine
if you are actively searching for a certain product or service.
The biggest difference…this audience is close to completing a
purchase. This will help us get more conversions.
Isn’t that what we want?
Here is an example from the almighty
Google.
Say that you own a car dealership and
want to advertise on AdWords. Here's
how you could use audiences based
on your goals:
• When to use "affinity
audiences": Your goal is to reach as
many people as possible and drive
awareness of your dealership, so that
when people need to buy a new car or have their car serviced,
your business comes to mind. You're probably running ads on TV
stations and want to complement this campaign with an online
campaign to expand your reach. With affinity audiences, you
could go beyond car enthusiasts, and reach "green living
enthusiasts" with ads about hybrid cars, "bargain hunters" with
yincmarketing.com info@yincmarketing.com
“how does Ydraw know that I love crowns?”
5. ads about a big sale coming up, and "luxury shoppers" with ads
about high-end cars.
• When to use "in-market audiences": Your goal is to reach people
who are actively considering buying a car and have narrowed
their decision down to a handful of brands or types of cars. These
customers are open to various options or dealers, but intend to
make a decision soon. You could complement your search
campaign or display keywords campaign with "in-market
audiences," and reach people who are looking for "new sedans"
or "new luxury vehicles."
So there you have it. Now lets jump into the video ad campaign and
see where this is located.
Here’s a screen shot.

6. Here is another side note. Getting the right traffic to your website is
expensive, bringing them back is not. So you want to make sure you
have your remarketing pixels in place.
This is a key to getting the maximum amount of leads. Start building
lists of people who visit your website. Once they land on your site,
watch one of your videos, or click on an ad you can put them into your
remarketing list. By the end of the year you will want to have thousands
of people cookied.
I know I am going to get this question…
“What is the difference between interests and topics?”
Heck if I know! It’s not like I am a video marketing genius…or am I?
Wait, I think I am so I am going to answer this question for you.
In a pumpkin/nutshell, the big difference is context. Topics will place
you video ads on websites or videos that are directly related to the
topic.
For example
Sports products would go on espn.com
That is fine, but we still want to make sure we get the In-market
interests dialed in. This is the big one. In-market allows you to find
people who are actually searching for your product or service. It
doesn’t matter what website or video the person is on.
Why not try both?
I am testing that right now to see happens. Google tells you to not do
this because it might restrict your audience, but their motives are a little
different than mine.
I have found that when Google suggests something, it will usually
increase my cost per lead. Their goal is have us pay the maximum
amount per lead, so be a little weary of their suggestions.

7. Finally, I must warn you that this is a new thing Google came out with
February 17. Be tight on your budget until you have proven the concept.
This is exciting because Google is only going to get better at it.
Also make sure you are tracking conversions. Set up the conversion
pixel so know that the money spend is bringing you in leads.
Until next time this is Jace Vernon signing off.
One other thing…if you run the right ads, you get these types of
comments. How long as it been since a person say they enjoyed your
marketing ad?
I should get something for giving you guys such amazing content…oh
wait, I do.
