Decide What Pages to Tag

When embarking on a remarketing campaign, you need to decide what pages you’re going to tag. This directly correlates to your marketing objectives, and what you wish to accomplish with your campaign.

Many advertisers make the mistake of creating and running the same campaign for multiple ad groups. That one-size-fits-all approach won’t be successful because each of your remarketing ad groups should serve a different purpose.

One of the great advantages of remarketing is that you can customize your campaign to meet a specific goal..

Create Optimized Landing Pages

Let’s say that you’re running a Christmas-themed remarketing campaign. Instead of sending your list to a generic web page, send prospects to an optimized landing page that references both Christmas and anything that is relevant to that remarketing list. Once you’ve created your pages, you will add the remarketing tag to those specific pages.

Set a Frequency Cap

One of the most important, but often overlooked, elements of remarketing campaigns is the amount of times someone will see your ad. If they see too little of it, you’re less likely to grab their attention; if they see too much of it, they’re likely to suffer from ad fatigue, and they won’t hesitate to tune out your advertising. In your account, we can easily set a frequency cap to limit the amount of times someone will see your ad daily. The amount of times that someone will see your ad will vary on your business, your industry, and your objective. Generally speaking, a frequency cap of 3-5 times per day is standard among advertisers.
