I’ve been testing bumper ads and 15-second non-skippable ads, but the CPMs are much higher compared to skippable in-stream ads. Is this expected behavior or should I adjust targeting?

es, I can definitely make my previous explanation about higher CPMs for bumper and non-skippable ads more concise and conversational for you!

Here's a friendly breakdown you can use:

"Hey! So, about those higher costs (CPMs) for bumper and non-skippable ads compared to the ones you can skip? Totally normal!

Think of it this way:

  • Skippable ads: People can bail out after 5 seconds, so you're mostly paying for people who chose to keep watching. It's like a free sample, and you only pay if they take a bite.

  • Bumper (6-sec) and Non-skippable (15-20 sec) ads: These are like a mini-movie they have to watch! Since viewers can't skip, Google charges more because you're guaranteed to get your full message across. It's a premium spot.

So, it's not really about adjusting targeting because the higher price is 'wrong.' It's about making sure those more expensive, guaranteed views are going to exactly the right people with a super-impactful ad. Make those precious seconds count!"
