How to set a display campaign to only show on the YouTube website, channels and app?

[Meir Mouyal]

Is there a way in which I can filter a display campaign to only show ads on the YouTube platform?

What should I need to do? Create a placement for youtube.com and then select all the YouTube channels and videos?

Also, for the app, previously the YouTube App was included in the list, now it isn't anymore.

Thanks!

Hi Meir,

Thanks for reaching out. There isn't an setting in the API for restricting display campaign ad placements to YouTube and a display campaign must have its AdvertisingChannelType set to 'display'. However, if you have seen such a setting supported in the Ads UI, we can submit a feature request on your behalf.

You can also specify youtube.com placements using the CampaignCriterionService. If you are not using the API, I would recommend looking through this general support article.

Hey Matt,

That's what I'm currently doing, setting a placement to youtube.com, but it doesn't seem to generate any traffic, literally 0 impressions.

I don't have any issues through the API, I know the request works because I can see it in the UI.

However the campaign is not generating any traffic

Hi Meir,

This is Yasar and I work with Matt. Let me assist you with this.

Thanks for confirming that you don't have any issues through the API. In order to generate traffic, kindly double check if your campaign is active. If it's already active, you may reach out to the product support team using the help tab from Google Ads UI or via this link, so that further investigation can be done by looking into the account.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
