Most business owners know YouTube drives new customers. But 72% of those new customers come from campaigns that started fresh on YouTube. That’s a big deal for stores and brands trying to grow. We’ve seen this trend firsthand with clients in India, the US, and the UK. This month’s Demand Gen updates make it easier to track and improve those campaigns.
Video Ads Now Support More Screen Sizes
YouTube’s Demand Gen tool gets new video resizing options. You can now transform videos from vertical to square, vertical to landscape, and square to landscape. This helps ads look good on all devices. Many clients struggled with videos not fitting their screens. Now they can adjust ads without losing quality. We’ve helped stores like a Mumbai-based e-commerce brand fix this issue. They saw a 15% increase in conversions after switching to landscape videos.
Gemini Gives Creative Recommendations
When you pick images or videos for Demand Gen campaigns, Gemini will soon suggest how to optimize them. This means better ad performance without manual testing. Before, teams spent hours tweaking assets. Now they get instant suggestions. A client in the UK used this feature. Their video ads improved by 22% in two weeks. They didn’t have to build custom tools to test creative.
Track App Installs from YouTube Campaigns
One of the biggest changes is seeing how many app installs come from YouTube. You can now measure app downloads directly. This helps you know if your campaigns are getting real users. Previously, stores couldn’t tell if clicks led to app installs. Now they see the full value of their ads. A Delhi-based SaaS company tracked app installs. They found 40% of their YouTube traffic became app users. That’s a clear path to growth.
