Using remarketing to reach people who visited your site

Remarketing is a feature that lets you reach people who have previously visited your site, and show them relevant ads when they visit other sites on the Google Display Network. When people leave your site without buying anything, for example, remarketing helps you connect with these potential customers while they browse other websites. You can even show them a compelling message or offer that will encourage them to return to your site and complete a purchase.


Who should use remarketing

Whether you're looking to drive sales activity on your site, increase registrations, or promote awareness of your brand, remarketing can be a strategic component of every campaign. It can drive return on investment (ROI) for all types of advertisers.
To create remarketing lists, you'll need to choose one of these campaign types: "Display Network only - Remarketing," "Display Network only - All features," or "Search & Display Networks - All features." You can switch your campaign type at any time. Keep in mind that doing so may hide or deactivate some features that affect ad serving.

Why remarket with Google

AdWords remarketing offers customization and flexibility that can help you deliver your campaigns effectively. Here are some of the benefits:
  • Customized audiences: Customize your remarketing lists in creative ways. For example, you can find "abandoned shopping cart users" by reaching all the people who created a shopping cart but didn't complete a transaction. Learn more about remarketing campaign strategies.
  • Reach and depth: You can reach a large number of users multiple times a day, week, or month. Because of the large number of websites that join the Google Display Network, you can connect with many users on your lists as they browse these sites. Find more remarketing optimization tips.

  • Easy ad creation: Produce multiple creative messages through text ads, or use Display Ad Builder to make image or video ads for free.
  • Visibility into where your ads appear: You have visibility into which sites your ads appear on. You can raise or lower bids based on site performance, or limit your ads to the sites where they best perform. Learn about strategies for remarketing campaigns.
