Guide: how to use Card Link Optimizer
Cards are the small "i" prompts that appear during a video. Placed at random they get a fraction of a percent click-through; placed at the moment a viewer wants exactly what the card offers, they get five to ten times that. The Card Link Optimizer analyses each card, gives the minute marks to place them for your video length, picks the card type for your goal, and writes the verbal cue that prompts the click.
