YouTube has changed how you target conversion-focused campaigns.

As part of a general move away from conversion-focused targeting and toward ads that encourage more viewers and subscribers, the platform is getting rid of targeting by:

  1. Placement, such as running ads on specific videos. This used to be a great way to target competitor traffic.
  2. Keyword based on users’ past searches and viewing habits.
  3. Topic based on categories created by YouTube.
  4. Similar audiences, targeting users who match the existing client base.

The ADUCATE framework will help attract, nurture, and qualify leads moving forward.
