Once your video is uploaded, it's essential to add relevant details to ensure it grabs the attention of your audience. Start by providing a compelling title and description that clearly outline the video's content and its benefits. This information will help viewers understand what to expect and why they should watch your video.

Next, select a captivating thumbnail that represents the video's message. A well-chosen thumbnail can significantly increase click-through rates. Additionally, consider adding captions to make your video accessible to a broader audience, including those who watch without sound.

  • Enter a catchy title and detailed description.
  • Choose an engaging thumbnail image.

By setting up these details and a clear CTA, you maximize the impact of your video ad.

Review and Publish Your Ad

Once you've uploaded your video and configured your ad settings, it's crucial to review all the details before publishing. Double-check the video quality, ad copy, and targeting options to ensure everything aligns with your campaign goals. Pay close attention to the call-to-action and make sure it directs users to the desired landing page. This step helps you catch any errors or inconsistencies that could impact your ad's performance.
