5 audiences you should exclude from your PPC campaigns

By Tim Jensen | Dec 2, 2019

Read the article here.

“As you build an audience strategy, identifying the people you don’t want to target is just as important as finding the people you do want to reach. Negative audiences help reduce wasted spend, ensure people see the right messaging at the right stage of the funnel, and prevent weary shoppers from being retargeted with products too many times,” writes Tim Jensen. He recommends that you should consider excluding these audiences from some or all of your PPC campaigns:

  • Job seekers
  • Current customers
  • Support seekers
  • Past converters
  • Retargeting audiences in non-retargeting campaigns

We hope you learned something new you can apply to your PPC business strategy. Let us know in the comments below what you want to start implementing. As always, we are happy to be a resource for your paid advertising needs. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
