About the integration
See where YouTube Ads fits in your customer journey.

YouTube Ads is a video advertising channel used to reach audiences with paid video campaigns. It is especially useful for brands using video for awareness, consideration or response.

Connect YouTube Ads to REACTIQ360 to view its available activity beside your other marketing, website, sales and customer signals. Setup follows a guided connection, while the exact data available depends on your account, permissions and configuration.

Why use this channel?
Use YouTube Ads to see whether paid video is holding attention and contributing to later action.

YouTube Ads gives brands using video for awareness, consideration or response a practical way to reach audiences with paid video campaigns. It helps answer the immediate channel questions, including what is getting attention, where people respond and which activity is producing a useful result.

On its own, YouTube Ads can only show the part of the journey that happens inside the platform. Once connected to REACTIQ360, you can compare those signals with traffic, lead, purchase, retention or advocacy outcomes from other sources and investigate what is genuinely moving customers forward.

Journey Intelligence
How YouTube Ads adds context across the REACT journey.

REACTIQ360 uses the available YouTube Ads signals to show the channel in context rather than recreating its native dashboard. You can compare impressions, video views and related activity with the actions and outcomes captured elsewhere.

This helps your team investigate whether YouTube Ads is doing its intended job, where momentum weakens and which connected signal deserves a closer look. Native channel metrics and outcomes supplied by another connected source are kept conceptually separate.

R

Reach: YouTube Ads impressions and paid reach show the scale of video exposure.

E

Engage: YouTube Ads views, view rate and watch time show whether the video held attention.

A

Act: YouTube Ads clicks and post-view website activity can indicate intent when tracking is connected.

C

Convert: YouTube Ads conversions and assisted outcomes are available when measurement is configured.

T

Talk: YouTube Ads retention and advocacy require customer or community data from another source.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can I connect Shopify to REACTIQ360?
+
Yes. Shopify can be connected so REACTIQ360 can use ecommerce performance data to help connectmarketing activity with revenue outcomes.
Which Shopify metrics can I track?
+
REACT is the thinking; REACTIQ360 is the doing. REACT is the strategic framework, a model for planning and orchestrating your customer journey. REACTIQ360 is the intelligence platform that lets you execute against it, unifying data from across your channels and turning it into clear, actionable decisions. You can learn and apply REACT entirely on your own. REACTIQ360 is what turns that strategy into intelligence, showing you what's working, what's compounding, and where to move next.
Is Shopify mainly a conversion channel?
+
No. Every resource here stands on its own, whether you've never heard of REACT or you've built your whole strategy around it. The real problem most marketers have isn't knowing a framework, it's finding relevant, trustworthy resources without getting lost in a maze of blogs, newsletters, and forgotten bookmarks. This hub pulls the thinking, the metrics, and the playbooks that actually matter into one place, organised by what you're trying to do. REACT is the connective thinking underneath, but you'll get value from a single guide without ever needing it.
How does REACTIQ360 use Shopify data?
+
These resources are built for marketers who own outcomes across more than one channel, in-house teams, founders running their own marketing, and agencies managing client growth. The focus is B2B and digital-first SMEs, but the thinking applies anywhere the customer journey spans multiple touchpoints. If you're trying to connect scattered marketing activity into something that compounds, you're in the right place.
