Expanding Your Audience With Similar Audiences Can Increase Your Conversion Rate & ROI

Sometimes the hardest part of something is just getting started. If you haven' started using similar audiences in your AdWords campaigns yet, it's time to get going.

Similar Audiences enables you to find new audiences who share characteristics with your Remarketing lists (specific groups of people who have visited your website). Google creates these lists after your remarketing lists have gathered enough data. You need to have Remarketing lists set up and running in order to get Similar Audiences.

How Do Similar Audiences Work?

  • Uses data from existing Remarketing lists
  • Automatically generates lists of new people based on data
  • Automatically excludes the data from your original Remarketing lists so there is no overlap

Similar Audiences are good for campaigns focused on expansion - campaigns where the budget is going towards reaching completely new people (opposed to re-engaging). These lists will appear in your audiences when Google has the data to create them.

Similar Audience Key Benefits:

I recently picked up a Ricoh Theta SC 360 Spherical camera from Amazon for around $200.    The camera comes with a great app for my Android phone that let's me setup the camera on a tripod and take the photo remotely via the app.  The camera has it's own WIFI hotspot that my phone can connect to in order to remote control the camera and store the output images.    The camera takes 360 still images as well as video.  

This camera and its output are part of Google's VR (Virtual Reality) View strategy.   VR view allows you to embed 360 degree VR media into websites on desktop and mobile, and native apps on Android and iOS. This technology is designed to enable developers of traditional apps to enhance the apps with immersive content.
