Using Reach Planner to Forecast Performance of Video Action Campaigns (10 November 2022)
It is now possible to forecast the performance of Video Action Campaigns (VAC) by utilizing a new feature of Reach Planner in Google Ads. This feature enables advertisers to predict the outlooks on the performance evaluated through conversions, views, reach, and impressions based metrics, which are based on the users' preferred audience, budget, geographic locations and other settings. The forecasts are established according to the trends in the ad market that have been observed previously together with campaigns that had similar goals.
Advertisers can now select 'Action - Online Conversion' as a goal when configuring a plan through Reach Planner, and VAC can now be added to existing plans. This launch marks an advantage where users can accommodate their campaigns across awareness and action within the funnel for creating a comprehensive YouTube strategy to gain maximum campaign optimization from it—according to studies from Nielsen Meta-Analysis, clients saw 10% higher ROI compared to those who concentrated solely on awareness advertising.
