Measure with Brand Lift
Run Brand Lift 2.0 surveys to measure "Ad Recall" and "Search Lift" for free (requires minimum spend).
Why This Matters
Clicks don't tell the whole story for branding. Did they actually remember you?
How To Implement
1. Labs > Brand Lift.
2. Setup survey questions ("Which of these have you heard of?").
3. Consult Google Rep for minimum spend requirements.
Pro Tip
Search Lift is the most actionable metric—did seeing the ad make them Google you?
