Google Ads for YouTube Videos: Lessons from Reddit
Reddit creators who ran their own YouTube ads in Google Ads agree on two things. It gives you far more control than the Promote button. And it takes time to learn.
The short answer
Google Ads lets you choose who sees your video by interest, keyword and the channels people watch. That control is what makes ads work, and it is also the hard part. Sprizzy does that setup for you, on Google Ads.
Why creators move to Google Ads
In Google Ads you choose the ad type and the audience yourself. An in-feed ad shows in YouTube search results and next to other videos, and people choose to click it.
go straight and use google ads directly is much better choice, you can narrow down to find the right audience and also focus on single video is what i find a better choice
…For example if I wanted to create a detailed tutorial on learning Shopify and I wanted my ad to appear at the top of search results when someone searches for learn Shopify then I don't see any reason the subscribers gained from running that ad are going to be bad. …
The hard part
You need an account and billing, then a campaign, an audience and a budget. The audience is where most people go wrong, and the wrong audience brings subscribers who never come back.
…Promoting a channel with Google Ads takes time, can be expensive, and isn’t always easy. …
Do it yourself, or have it done

Sprizzy is the best luck I’ve had so far. I know they essentially use Google ads, but they know how to use it better than I can. … I tried Sprizzy with the sole purpose of EXPOSURE to my channel. That worked astonishing. … in about a few hrs I started getting REALISTIC traffic coming to my video, being impressed, commenting, checking out my OTHER videos, liking the vibes and subscribing. Like 8-26 subscribers a day. My watch time shot up, my interactions started moving. More comments started showing up about things that happed far into the video, 99/100 positive, 1/100 negative.
