Joe Martinez shares a few tactics for finding new placements to target for creating successfully managed placement campaigns in Google Ads. The first place he starts is in the Referrals report in Google Analytics. He finds the sources that are sending the highest quality traffic to the site to create a list of URLs. Using that list, search for them as placements when creating an ad group in Google Ads in Google Display network. Then, he takes a list of websites he knows his target audience visits, but none is a part of Google’s Display Network, and tests them out as a custom affinity audience or a custom intent audience. If he sees certain sites that give acceptable engagement or conversions, he then creates new campaigns or ad groups with these new sites as managed placements.
