Use remarketing lists for video campaigns

30/11/2019

You can use remarketing for video campaigns similarly to the way you'd use them for Display Network or Search Network campaigns. There are specific remarketing list types that are tailored to help you show your ads to people who have seen your YouTube videos. This article explains how to target these lists in Video campaigns as well as Search Network and Display Network campaigns. 

Before you begin

Before you can use remarketing for video campaigns, you need to link your YouTube account to your Google Ads account. You can do this from either the YouTube channel or from within your Google Ads account. See how to link YouTube and Google Ads accounts

It's important to be careful using multiple types of targeting. If you use more than one targeting method at a time, Google Ads will apply them all. For example, if you target a specific keyword, age, and channel, your ads will only be shown when all those methods match your ad at the same time. This can restrict your impressions significantly. Therefore, it's not recommended to pair remarketing lists with multiple types of targeting, like demographics or interests. It's best to target broadly, and opt in to all video ad formats.

Note: Some lists aren't able to be used for certain campaign types.  

Lists created based on the following YouTube-related actions are not eligible for Search Network and Shopping campaigns:

  1. People who watch any of your videos
  2. People who view your video as a video ad

If you have enabled remarketing list sharing in your Google Ads account, a manager account can share remarketing lists that you’ve created with its other managed accounts.
