Understanding Google Ads Remarketing and What Makes it so Successful

By opting to do remarketing with Google Ads, you can easily target people that have recently and/or previously visited your eCommerce site with display ads that will be shown on other websites. These websites are within the Google Display Network. This is possible due to visitors being tagged with a cookie after visiting a certain page on your website.

For starters, you should list down the following goals for your upcoming Google Ads display remarketing campaign:

• Making sure that my display ads on the Internet are generating more awareness for my brand
• Encourage previous visitors to repeat purchases (doesn’t always have to be the same product or service)
• Focus more on previous visitors that didn’t go through with a purchase or action

Hold on, why do visitors choose not to convert during previous visits? More often than not, these individuals wish to shop around to get the best price before committing to a purchase. With that in mind, do not fret when they leave your site without buying anything. Use the opportunity to embed your brand in the minds of these customers by adopting display remarketing. In addition, remarketing ad campaigns are highly cost-effective as you only pay for clicks on the ad.

Don’t forget that your remarketing list should contain at least 100 visitors that visited your website within the last 30 days.
