Google Ads: Display, Video & YouTube

These campaigns introduce your business and bring visitors back. Last-click reports hide most of that work.

Judged on the Right Terms

You tried Display or YouTube, the last-click numbers looked poor, and the campaign got switched off. These formats work earlier in the buying journey, building reach, awareness and retargeting audiences, so they need a different scorecard from Search.

We run them with clear goals and proper measurement. Creative gets planned around how people watch and browse in each format, instead of reusing the same ad everywhere.

Running Display and YouTube

1

Set the Goal

We agree on what each campaign should do, such as reach, awareness or retargeting, and how we’ll measure it.

2

Choose the Channel

Your audience decides the format, which may mean YouTube, Display or another video platform altogether.

3

Plan the Creative

Each format and placement gets creative suited to how people really watch, scroll and browse.

4

Measure Fairly

We report on assisted conversions, reach and brand lift, and build retargeting audiences from your site visitors.

Why Choose System Strats

We work across Search, Shopping and Performance Max every day, and we treat conversion tracking as a first-class problem instead of something to check once at launch. That habit carries over here, because Display and YouTube only make sense when you measure them fairly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but differently from Search. Display works early in the buying journey, so we measure assisted conversions, reach and brand lift instead of last-click return. Measured that way, it has a real role.

Start with your audience. YouTube is strong for reach, targeting by intent and retargeting. For TikTok-style creative or Gen Z audiences, another platform may fit better, and we help you match the two.

Enough to produce data you can read. We recommend a minimum test budget that gives the algorithm room to learn, because very small budgets rarely produce clear results.

Yes. We build retargeting audiences across Search, Shopping and Display, then use them in YouTube campaigns to reach past visitors with more engaging creative.
