By looking at the Audience Retention report within the Overview Tab. We see that this video overall has a 65.5% average view duration. Videos that tend to perform well and show up higher in the YouTube search results tend to have an average view duration between 60% &#8211; 70%. Because a majority of this video is being watched by viewers, YouTube is ranking this video higher in search results so that more users will view the video. YouTube\u2019s overall goal is to keep viewers on their platform, so when a video has a high average view duration, it knows that viewers will spend more time watching that video.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a class=\"fancybox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3-700x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3-700x575.png 700w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3-250x205.png 250w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3-768x631.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3-1536x1262.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3-120x99.png 120w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3-150x123.png 150w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-3.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this video fills a need. It is a how-to video with an effective title and tags that are relevant to what people are searching for based on the topic of this video<strong>. So why is this important?<\/strong> It is an example of how a video can perform well for companies that are looking to gain more brand awareness or showcase a product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-internet-marketing-agency-for-b2b-companies-video-ad-example\"><strong>&#8220;Internet Marketing Agency for B2B Companies<\/strong>&#8221; Video Ad Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second example that we want to explore is a 30-second video ad that was produced by TopSpot in 2021. This ad is a skippable ad promoting TopSpot and its services. Viewers have the option to skip the ad after the first 5 seconds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a class=\"fancybox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4-700x270.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4-700x270.png 700w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4-250x96.png 250w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4-768x296.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4-1536x591.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4-120x46.png 120w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4-150x58.png 150w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-4.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the Audience Retention report, we see that the video ad has a 94.2% average view percentage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a class=\"fancybox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10-700x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10-700x536.png 700w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10-250x191.png 250w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10-768x588.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10-1536x1175.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10-120x92.png 120w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10-150x115.png 150w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-10.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After 10 seconds, the viewership from this video dips down to 65%. After 20 seconds, that number drops again to 48%. 41% of viewers watched through the end of the video. What does this tell us? Overall, for content in this ad had engaging content for over 40% of viewers to continue watching the video ad through the end of the video. Additionally, the video was well targeted to the correct audience to have maintained a 94.2% average view duration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-improve-viewer-retention\">How to Improve Viewer Retention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the trend with this video, one thing that could be improved upon in this video ad would be to not have a gradual fade to black at the end of the video. Without fading to black at the end of the video ad, important information such as the website URL or phone number provided at the end of the video could have remained on screen for a longer duration given that over 40% of viewers continued watching through the end of the video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-locating-your-attic-filter-size-and-determining-your-merv-rating-example\"><strong>&#8220;Locating Your Attic Filter Size and Determining Your MERV Rating<\/strong>&#8221; Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The third example that we will look at is a video from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airfiltersusa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Air Filters Inc<\/a>.
