Lead generation through YouTube Advertising

LEAD GENERATION: THE STRONG COMPETITION ANNO 2022

The consumer in 2022 has high expectations of brands and services. What is offered online is endless, competition is strong and the customer journey is no longer linear. If you have managed to reach your potential customer, the question remains whether you have been noticed, grabbed their attention and managed to convinced them that your product or service is worthwhile. If all of this is the case, then you want it to be as easy and pleasant as possible for the consumer to convert. If it isn’t, there’s a good chance the consumer will drop out and become a customer elsewhere. Think of a web page that loads too slowly, having to fill in a lot of information on a small screen, typos that are not automatically corrected, or the challenge finding out where/how to get in contact. Filling out a lead form is quickly abandoned by the consumer if it doesn’t meet their expectations.

LEAD FORM EXTENSION OFFERS SOLUTION FOR LEAD GENERATION

By adding a lead form to your video ad, action can be taken directly from YouTube. The extension is an efficient method for good quality lead generation. Not only for the consumer, but also for the advertiser. Provide a catchy headline and description, choose up to 10 questions you want to ask your target audience, and add your privacy policy. This is an accessible way to generate leads as there is no reference to an external link; the consumer can easily leave his or her details on a platform which is familiar to him/her. If the consumer has linked his/her contact details to a Google account, these will also be filled in automatically in the lead form.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE MOST OF NEWLY ACQUIRED LEADS?

With new leads it is important to get in touch as soon as possible so you are ahead of the doubt and the consumer remembers your brand well. In that way lead generation will be done effectively and it is therefore advisable to keep a close eye on newly acquired leads within Google Ads. The list of leads from the past 30 days can be downloaded as a csv file, or even better, create a webhook integration to receive leads directly into the CRM system. So: good luck with YouTube Advertising and lead generation!
