FAQ

FAQs for BidWaves’
Streaming TV Advertising

Stop guessing with video. Get a clear plan for advertising on streaming services, with targeting you can control and reporting you can understand.

What is OTT or CTV advertising?

OTT means “over-the-top” advertising, and it places your ads inside streaming content on apps and platforms. CTV, or connected TV advertising, is streaming on TV screens through smart TVs and devices. Both let you target by location and audience signals, not just a broad market.

Can video ads for small business work in a local service area?

Yes. We focus on reaching households in the ZIP codes and cities you serve, then manage frequency so you stay visible without overspending on the wrong areas.

Do we need a professional commercial to run streaming ads?

Not always. You need a clear message, strong visuals, and the right format. We provide creative guidance and can support production planning, so you get video that fits streaming placements and drives action.

How do you measure results from advertising on streaming services?

We combine platform reporting with website and conversion tracking where possible. You will see delivery, reach, and frequency, plus downstream signals like site visits and lead actions tied to your campaigns.

Where will our ads show up, and is it brand-safe?

We use placement controls, exclusions, and inventory safeguards to protect your brand. We prioritize reputable streaming environments and actively monitor performance and quality.

How quickly can we expect results?

Most campaigns see early traction once targeting and frequency stabilize. Stronger efficiency typically builds over the first 60 to 90 days as we optimize audiences, placements, and creative.
