Conversion Rates of YouTube Content
Analyzing conversions and sales performance of content is imperative to attributing success to a brand's influencer marketing efforts.
When partnering with influencers on YouTube, marketers often don't take into account longtail performance data, so we wanted to showcase what this data looks like using real campaign examples. Since YouTube is a search-based platform and influencer content is evergreen, this data showcases how conversions are still acquired over time as consumers move down the funnel and are in the market to buy.
