Week 4 YouTube Ad Setup....Audiences...John talks about "a previous list that we uploaded" did I miss something, what list?

Hello, in weed 4/YouTube ads setup, John walks us through how to setup youtube ads. When he gets to audiences, I am not seeing any of the lists that he has on his screen. He says choose a previous list that we had uploaded. I don’t remember any videos of him uploading a list. Did I miss it? If so, where can I find it? I’m kind of stuck, thank you in advance if someone can help.

Google recently changed their policy regarding the ability to upload customer lists. There is now a requirement to have an ad spend of $50k and other criteria before you’re able to use customer lists. So, we have an alternative.

You’ll want to target the following In-Market Audiences for YouTube traffic.

Business Services > Advertising & Marketing Services > SEO & SEM Services
Business Services > Business Technology > Web Services Domain Registration
Business Services > Payment Processing & Merchant Services

These categories work extremely well, and are super tried-and-true.

Hey Sabrina,

Thank you for that. I see where you are talking about.

However, under each title that you mentioned, I just want to be clear:

We are not actually checking:

“Business Services”
“Advertising & Market Services”
“Business Technology”
“Web Services”

Correct?

Rather we are just dropping the menu under each of those titles and actually only checking these 3:

“SEO & SEM Services”
“Domain Registration”
“Payment Processing & Merchant Services”

Correct?

The reason I ask this is because it actually allows you to check the titles as well as the subtitles along the way to get to the last file. I am assuming if we were to check the titles, that would be like us choosing all subtitles under that title, which we don’t want correct? We just want to check the 3 I mentioned, correct?

WE WANT THIS:

WE DON’T WANT THIS:

Correct???

Correct, just the items in the drop downs, not both options :slight_smile: If you were to select the broad options, your targeting wouldn’t be working to it’s best capability and your audience wouldn’t be specific enough.

Was literaly about to ask the exact same question in the discussion before I found this post, so thanks for posting it! xD :smiley:

I believe I found all three options, at least the “seo and sem services” and “domain registration” I am pretty sure I got right, the last one " payment proccesing and merchant services" I dont know if I found that one.

Here is a screenshot. Have I got the right options picked? (My google page is in norwegian btw)

I don’t understand Norwegian but if you have the 3 audience areas selected, you’re good to go! :slight_smile:

HI Sabrina,
Quick question… Is there a way to go back and change the audience on my youtube campaign after it has started? Or do I just need to set up another campaign? Thank you Sabrina!
