Much like display, video campaigns provide incremental value outside of standard metrics such as impressions, clicks, or views. One of our Midwest Chrysler dealer clients had tested video for two months in 2013 but started to consistently run video campaigns from March through July of 2014. During that time those campaigns delivered over 1.2 million impressions and generated over 726,000 views. But that’s not the whole story. Search Optics also partnered with Google and discovered that the number of search queries including the name of the dealer as a keyword increased by 365 percent. This figure shows that running video campaigns in tandem with paid search and display can significantly increase dealer brand recognition.
