This month’s Demand Gen Drop is focused on bidding optimizations and creative tools to boost your YouTube performance:
- New customer acquisition goals are rolling out this month. Advertisers that use New Customer Only Mode have, on average, improved their new customer ratio by 11.5% with a -3% reduced acquisition cost. 1
- Deep linking via Web to App Connect is now available for iOS. When implemented, users seamlessly move from ads to your brand’s mobile app.
- Target CPC bidding now allows you to optimize and compare performance across ad platforms with the same settings.
- Use AI to generate videos that optimize for viewer experience and increase your reach on YouTube.
- Leverage product feeds as your virtual storefront. Demand Gen campaigns that do so using tROAS goals typically see a 20% increase in conversions. 2
