What a YouTube Shorts UGC ad is
A YouTube Shorts UGC ad is a vertical video ad that matches the short, personal style of Shorts: an immediate hook, the product in use, captions and one call to action. Shorts ads are bought through Google Ads alongside other YouTube video ads.
A Shorts UGC ad is not a creator video or a sponsored post. AIUGCAdGenerator ads are UGC-style creative, not content by customers or creators.
