Additional considerations

Some things to keep in mind when targeting Analytics Audiences:

• A user must first visit your website to be included in an Analytics Audience. Depending on your experiment configuration, this may influence your targeting criteria.
• Audiences are based on your first-party Analytics data and don't require enabling Remarketing or Advertiser Features in Analytics.
• Audiences shared with Optimize cannot contain Google Audience data.
• Audiences created in User ID-enabled views aren't supported.
