Google is rolling out streamlined Video experiments for advertisers to easily test creative variations and measure their impact.
Key features:
- Quick setup: Create experiments in just a few clicks
- Automatic duplication: System creates a treatment arm from the control campaign
- Flexible confidence intervals: Get directional results in days, with increasing confidence over time
- Asset testing: Easily add or remove assets to compare performance
Why we care. You should pay attention to Google’s new Video ad experiment tool because it simplifies A/B testing, allowing for faster, data-driven optimizations of creative elements with the ultimate aim to improve video campaign performance and return on investment (ROI).
By the numbers:
- Confidence intervals can reach up to 95% statistical significance (according to Google internal stats)
How it works:
- Choose an existing or new campaign as the control
- System duplicates it for the treatment arm
- Modify assets in the treatment arm
- Compare results across key metrics
Metrics measured in for example, a brand lift study:
- Cost-per-view
- Cost-per-conversion
- Brand Lift
- View rate
- Clicks
- Conversions
Between the lines. This tool aims to simplify the often complex process of A/B testing for video ads, making it more accessible to a broader range of advertisers.
What’s next. The feature is now available for Video Reach and Video View Campaigns.
The bottom line. Google’s new Video experiments tool offers advertisers a user-friendly way to optimize their video ad creative and improve campaign performance.
