Summary

In this episode of The Google Ads Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into brand lift studies — a tool that measures whether your ads actually change how people perceive your brand. They walk through a real example from a mid-size DTC furniture company that ran a brand lift study on a YouTube ad campaign in Q1 2026. The study revealed a 12% lift in ad recall and an 8% lift in brand consideration, but a surprising drop in brand favorability among one demographic. Lucas explains how the study works: the randomized control group, the survey design, and the statistical significance thresholds. Luna challenges whether brand lift is worth the cost for smaller advertisers, and they discuss Google’s minimum spend requirements (typically $10,000 per month for YouTube brand lift). They also cover how to set up a brand lift study in Google Ads, interpret the results, and avoid common pitfalls like survey fatigue. The episode closes with Lucas’s view that brand lift studies are the closest thing to causation in digital advertising — and why that matters in a world of attribution noise. #GoogleAds #BrandLift #AdMeasurement #YouTubeAds #MarketingROI #BrandAwareness #DTC #FurnitureMarketing #AdRecall #BrandConsideration #SurveyDesign #Attribution #PPCStrategy #PaidSearch #DigitalMarketing #Marketing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
