How do you target specific people with YouTube ads?
YouTube ads are bought through Google Ads, so they use the same audiences: upload a Customer Match list and target it in a Video or Demand Gen campaign. The ads show to matched people when they are signed in on YouTube, across in-stream, in-feed and Shorts placements.
What ContactLevel adds on YouTube
YouTube uses Google's Customer Match, which matches on personal Google accounts. ContactLevel resolves your B2B contacts to identifiers Google can match and syncs the list, so a target-account video campaign actually reaches the people on the list.
YouTube Ads FAQ
Do I need a separate integration for YouTube?
No. YouTube ads run through Google Ads, so connecting your Google Ads account in ContactLevel makes the same audiences available to Video and Demand Gen campaigns.
What match rate can I expect on YouTube?
The same as Google Ads: 60-70% with ContactLevel audiences, because both use Customer Match.
Which YouTube campaign types work with contact lists?
Video campaigns and Demand Gen campaigns accept Customer Match audiences. Demand Gen also places ads in Gmail and Discover, which suits B2B warm-up campaigns.
