The discovery trueview ad, on the other hand, allows a small advertising banner to appear at the bottom or on the right.

Masthead banners: this format corresponds to an illustration of 970 × 250 pixels. If the user clicks, it can be expanded to a 970×500 pixel version.

Masthead banners for mobile: they appear on the home page of all versions of mobile phones and tablets.

Standard banners: they are published on various Google websites (Google Finance). They have a 300 × 250 or 300 × 60 format related to the video.

Once you have determined your objective, you can log into your Google Ads account and click on the “new campaign” button.
