Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I spend on YouTube advertising?
Start with $3,000-$5,000/month in ad spend for testing, then scale based on results. YouTube ads work at any budget thanks to low CPV costs. Management fees are separate.
Do I need professional video production?
Professional quality helps, but authentic, well-scripted content often outperforms expensive productions. We help with both approaches—full production or UGC-style content.
How long until I see results?
Awareness campaigns deliver results within days. Lead generation and conversion campaigns typically optimize within 2-4 weeks as Google’s algorithm learns your ideal audience.
Can YouTube ads work for B2B?
Absolutely. YouTube’s custom intent audiences and keyword targeting reach B2B decision-makers researching solutions. B2B video ads are highly effective for demos, webinars, and thought leadership.
What’s the ideal video ad length?
For skippable ads: 15-30 seconds for awareness, 30-60 seconds for consideration, and 15-30 seconds for direct response. The first 5 seconds are always the most critical.
