With changing privacy laws, the need for a cookieless contextual targeting solution has become imperative.

Google ads enable brands and advertisers of all different sizes to promote their services through YouTube, Search and Display ads. Being the largest advertising platform advertisers can set specific goals and budgets for different types of campaigns (for example: retargeting, remarketing, awareness, etc) and easily deploy them. Also, through Google ads, a user can bid on keywords and operate on an auction-based system which happens in real-time. This enables advertisers to hyper-target keywords and specific search terms.​

Concurrently, through Google ads, advertisers have access to Google Display Network. Google Display Network offers Google ad users access to a robust list of domains and YouTube channels to advertise on. This is provided to the user at no additional cost making Google ads a cost-effective method for advertisers.

People are consuming more video-based content than ever. YouTube is the largest video content platform and the second largest search engine and a great place for advertisers and brands to showcase their products to relevant audience sets.  Brands and advertisers can serve relevant YouTube ads using the Google ads platform. Roku and Hulu are some of the other prominent platforms that have enabled advertisers to serve ads. Through these platforms, the advertiser has the ability to serve skippable in-stream ads, non-skippable instream ads, and video discovery ads.
