Question: While creating a Google Video campaign, the account manager has selected "brand awareness and reach" as his campaign goal, which automatically uses Target cost-per-million impressions (tCPM) as the bidding strategy. How will this benefit the campaign?
- It will optimize bids to put the campaign's message in front of as many relevant people as possible.
- It will analyze historical feedback and make adjustments to bids based on performance signals.
- It will generate as many impressions as possible in line with the Target cost-per-acquisition.
- It will acquire as many clicks as possible according to the daily budget that has been set.
Explanation
Target cost-per-thousand impressions (tCPM) is designed for impression-based delivery, which fits a Brand awareness and reach campaign. Google Ads states that tCPM optimizes bids to help reach more unique users while keeping the campaign’s average CPM at or below the target amount. That supports broader message delivery to relevant audiences rather than optimizing for clicks or conversions. The campaign therefore benefits by putting the message in front of as many relevant people as possible. Google Help+1
