There are currently about 18 suggested audiences available in GA4 properties. The new suggested audience is called “7-day unnotified users.” These are app users who have not been reached via push notification. “Suggested audiences help advertisers easily add audience segments for the industry categories you use the most. Test different segments and most importantly, start setting up GA4 now before it sunsets in July 2023,” writes Nicole Farley.

Jonathan Kagan is an avid advocate of separating PPC campaigns by device because mobile platforms dominate the internet and search consumption. Mobile’s contribution to ecommerce and direct response campaigns has risen dramatically. Mobile should be isolated from desktop because of two huge factors: budgeting and performance. To help you understand why it is important to use device-specific PPC, Kagan covers the following:

  • Why doing PPC by device is important
  • Won’t the search engines allocate my spend and optimize for performance?
  • How will this work with a low budget?
  • Who shouldn’t do this?
  • Why is device segmentation more important than SKAG?
