Select Appropriate Keywords

Create Enticing Ad Copy

 

Google remarketing professionals agree that RLSA ads need to be original and have creative messaging. For example, you can highlight good customer reviews, popular products you think a user may be interested in or lead users to a landing page with attractive photos – anything to entice them to purchase.

 

Add Audience to RLSA Campaigns

 

If you’re running an RLSA remarketing campaign, you can apply previously-defined audiences that you had earlier created in several ways.

 

• If you created multiple audience lists, consider adding them all to a single RLSA campaign.
• Alternately, you can create separate RLSA campaigns with single/multiple audience lists as per your desired outcomes.

Analyze Campaign Data

• As you gather data, analyze information such as which keywords are being paired with which one of your ads.
• Look into whether they’re relevant to the ads and if ad messaging is effective enough to re-engage audience.
