03.05Display & retargeting

Stay in front of the people who almost bought.

Most visitors leave without converting. Retargeting keeps your offer in front of them across the web, YouTube, Discover and Gmail until they are ready — and demand-generation campaigns introduce you to the people who look like your customers before they search.

The problem

Display is where budgets go to be wasted

Run-of-network placements on mobile games, frequency caps left at default, retargeting everyone who bounced in three seconds, creative that never changes — display gets a bad name because it is rarely run with discipline. Run well, retargeting is the cheapest conversion in the account and demand gen fills the top of the funnel.

Step 04

Prove

Assisted conversions and holdout tests show what display actually adds.

Questions

Display & Retargeting, answered.

What is retargeting?
Showing ads to people who have already visited your site or interacted with your business, across other websites, apps and video. Because they already know you, retargeting converts at a fraction of the cost of reaching strangers.
What is a Demand Gen campaign?
Google's campaign type for YouTube, Discover and Gmail placements that uses visual creative and audience signals to generate demand among people who resemble your customers — the top of the funnel that search cannot reach.
How do you stop display ads appearing on junk sites?
Placement exclusion lists, content-category exclusions, app exclusions and brand-safety settings applied at launch, then weekly placement reports with further exclusions.
How do you measure display if people don't click?
View-through and assisted conversions show influence; holdout tests — withholding ads from a control group — show incrementality. We report both and never count impressions as results.
