4. Audiences
Overview
An audience defines who sees your ads. Growth Channel supports: CRM uploads, third-party segments, geo-fencing, lookalikes, remarketing, contextual/keyword, targeted sites, ABM, Meta interests, and custom rules.
Creating a New Audience
- Go to Audiences.
- Click New Audience.
- Choose type.
Audience Types
- Custom CRM: Upload customer/lead list, matched to device IDs.
- Pre-Built: Choose 3rd party audience segments from data providers, filter by geo, CPM, size.
- Geo-Fencing: Target by location (radius ≥ 0.25 miles, retroactive available).
- Lookalike: Expand reach with similar users.
- Remarketing: Based on retargeting pixel; best practice: create for every campaign.
- Contextual/Keyword: Match keywords or content themes.
- Targeted Sites: Direct placements; consult Customer Success manager.
- ABM: Target specific companies.
- Meta Interests: For Meta campaigns.
- Start From Scratch: Mix/match rules.
Configuring
- Use AND/OR logic for rules.
- Add exclusions (e.g., converters).
- Apply geo/device filters.
- Add custom keyword lists.
Finalizing
- Name clearly (e.g., PRO_3P_AdPros, RT_US/UK).
- Click Submit to save.
Troubleshooting
- No delivery → check geo/device scope.
- Low scale → broaden keywords or switch data providers.
- Overlap → avoid duplicating the same audience across tactics.
- Exclusions fail → confirm conversion pixels are firing.
