Consideration targeting recommendations 

You can select tactics that help you reach a mix of new ​and existing customers.​ 

Brand buyers (brand targeting)​

Brand audience targeting can help target recent or lapsed customers of specific brands based on engagement with your products.  

When including brand audience targeting during line-item setup, you can select from all the brands that are owned by you. These types of brand audiences are only visible and accessible to the advertiser or supplier that owns the specific brand. 

Personas (persona targeting)  

Persona audience targeting enables your brand to reach customers with interests, needs and behaviors aligned to the products you sell, increasing the relevance of your ads with the goal of ultimately driving ROAS and incremental sales. These customer personas are always-on and leverage machine learning to calculate and rank relevant customers. 

Contextual targeting 

Contextual audience targeting enables you to reach the customers across a wide range of elements that form the retail taxonomy i.e. department (level 1) or category (level 2). This enables you to reach a broader audience that higher level or a more specific audience at a lower level to suit the needs of your display ad campaign.  

When you include category audience targeting during line-item setup, you can select from the any category that is broadly available as part of the audience library to all advertisers, either recent or in-market customers within category choices. 

Keyword targeting​

Keyword targeting is for customers actively searching for specific brands and products. Try broad match branded and non-branded keywords to help capture brand loyalists and switchers and reach customers searching for relevant products.   ​
