The Best Remarketing Strategies for Google Ads
Apply A/B Testing
We love a good A/B test for how much you can learn from such a simple process. Find out what works best for your company, your industry, and your audience by optimizing with all the data an A/B test can gather for you.
Try Dynamic Remarketing
While standard remarketing puts your ads in front of internet users who have already recently visited your site, dynamic remarketing makes it possible for those ads to be automatically tailored even more to what your previous visitors are most likely to respond best to. This can be anything from customizing layouts to optimizing timing.
Expand Your Targeted Segments
Maybe your ‘customer needs’ focus is too narrow. Expand the range of who your ads are reaching by targeting new user segments with different ads. Consider the users of your mobile app, too, and what their needs are versus those who access your site on a desktop. Never underestimate the impact on conversion of user experience.
Leverage Cart Abandonment Opportunities
Cart abandonment has gotten a lot of attention from marketing departments lately, and for good reason. A visitor who already went so far as to click or press ‘Add to Cart’ shows much higher purchase intent than a visitor who just took a lingering glance at a product page.
Savvy remarketing to these easy converts may mean offering a small discount to help get them through the finish line of making the purchase. They’re certainly a segment worth a higher CPC bid in our opinion.
Make the Most of Remarketing Time Limits
Capitalize on the modern short attention span and set your automation to reach out to your remarketing targets quickly before they lose interest or completely forget about why they initially were interested in your product or service. If you have multiple remarketing ads running, you can customize different durations for each of them!
Note: It’s recommended to start with a duration of 30 days, meaning your ad reaches visitors who didn’t take further action on your site in the previous 30 calendar days. Adjust from there to find the best time limits for your particular audience’s response.
Set Up Responsive Ads
Similar to dynamic remarketing, this option helps automatically adjust your ads to the best dimensions for whatever space it appears in. It’s a big time-saver for sure!
