To have all of your YouTube Analytics data connected to your Google Ads YouTube Video Campaigns we’ll need to connect Google Ads to the YouTube channel.
This will give us an opportunity to see Google Video Ads impact on the YouTube channel and allow us to use channel audiences for Remarketing campaigns.
YouTube and Google Ads connection can be done in 2 ways:
A. By giving permission to individual users / our agency
B. By connecting Google Ads directly, without an agency permission
