Youtube Ads

Handles YouTube advertising when you need to set up TrueView, Bumper, or Discovery campaigns. It walks you through format selection based on your goal (awareness, traffic, conversions), gives creative specs for each ad type, and spits out targeting notes plus a pre-launch checklist. The skill reads your project context if it exists and adjusts recommendations accordingly. Useful for anyone running video ads through Google Ads who needs quick guidance on which format to pick and how to structure the creative. It stays in its lane: this is paid YouTube only, so for organic video optimization you'll want the youtube-seo skill instead.
