Additional Details

Does YouTube need to be set up separately?

No. YouTube is included as part of our Google Ads (AdWords) integration, so no additional setup is required. However, we break out YouTube as its own channel within reporting for clarity and attribution purposes.

Note: DemandGen campaigns from Google Ads are not broken out under the YouTube channel and are instead included in the core Google Ads reporting.

Can you measure connected TV (CTV) campaigns run through YouTube within the platform?

Yes. YouTube-based CTV campaigns flow in via our Google Ads integration. Clear campaign naming (e.g., “CTV”) helps the system properly attribute and report performance.
