Do you need video to advertise on Google?

You can run Google with no video at all. You just cannot run all of Google.

No video needed

Search and Shopping. Between them that is most eCommerce revenue for most stores.

Video helps

Demand Gen — image assets work, video usually works better.

Video required

YouTube campaigns, obviously. And note that Performance Max will generate video from your assets if you supply none, and you will not enjoy the result.

What kind

Not a brand film. Product doing something visible, hook in the first two seconds, offer stated plainly. Phone footage that shows the product working beats a polished ad that does not.
