Dynamic remarketing campaigns show your previous website visitors more personalized ads based on the products or services they viewed on your website. These campaigns provide extra settings and reports specifically for reaching previous visitors. This article explains how to set up a dynamic remarketing campaign.

Before you begin

You can only use dynamic remarketing with Display Network and App campaigns. If you're interested in running dynamic search ads, review our article About Dynamic Search ads. Learn about dynamic remarketing for App campaigns and about using dynamic feeds for App campaigns.

Keep in mind that your Google tag shouldn't be associated with any personally identifiable or sensitive information. Sensitive categories of websites and apps can't use your data for audience targeting. If you're setting up a campaign and placing the Google tag on your website or mobile app, you need to follow the Policy for advertising based on interests and location.

Optimize your campaign as you create it

As you create your campaign, you may receive notifications based on your setting selections. These notifications may alert you of issues that can result in decreased performance or that may be significant enough to prevent you from publishing your campaign.

The campaign construction navigation menu that appears as you construct your campaign provides a holistic view of your construction progress and will call attention to notifications that you may want to address. Move between steps in the navigation menu to easily review and resolve potential issues with your targeting, bidding, budget, or other campaign settings.

Note: Google Ads doesn't offer reporting for dynamic remarketing campaigns at the item level. For this granular level of reporting, you'll need your own tracking system.

Dynamic prospecting and dynamic remarketing

Dynamic prospecting brings user information and product information together to show your best product at the right time to the most interested users. Unlike dynamic remarketing, which is focused on getting the most value out of your existing customers, dynamic prospecting is used to acquire new users. This difference makes dynamic prospecting the preferable method if you’re a new advertiser or if you’re targeting an audience different from your own data segments (including your data segments that include website visitors and app users).

How dynamic prospecting works

Dynamic prospecting uses machine learning to get an idea for what potential buyers are looking for. Once the system knows what the user is after, it combines that want with demographics-based information such as age, gender, and household income to match the user with a product in your feed. The products in your feed are evaluated based on performance, relevance, and other factors to determine which ones are most likely to catch the user’s attention and lead to conversions.

Adding dynamic prospecting to a dynamic remarketing campaign

  1. Sign in to Google Ads and navigate to your campaign’s settings.
  2. Click on Additional settings.
  3. Click on the drop-down under “Dynamic ads.”
    • This drop-down will select “No data feed” by default.
  4. Click the checkbox next to “use a data feed for personalized ads”.
  5. Select the relevant Data Feed from the drop down menu.
  6. Click Save.
Note: To add targeting to a campaign, refer to the Dynamic remarketing for web setup guide.
