segments right away.

User must have “Account manager” or
“Campaign manager” access to
access website retargeting
ACCESS TO CREATE AUDIENCES
13
14. Name your audience segment and add the specific web page
URLs you’d like to use in your retargeting audience.
Only you and admins managing your
campaign will see the audience name
The URLs must belong to a domain
you entered in your Insight Tag
You can always come back and add
additional URLs to your audience segment
SEGMENT NAME
ADD THE WEBSITE URL
ADDING MORE URLS
Multiple URLs in one segment are “OR”
example: “acme.com/products” OR
“acme.com/services”
“OR” RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URLS
14
15. You have three different website URL options when setting up your website retargeting audience segment.
“Starts with” – Select this option to
include any page whose URL starts with
these characters.
“Exact” – Select this option to target
pages whose URL matches these
characters in their entirety.
“Contains” – Use this only on pages whose
URL contains these characters.

16. Let your
audience build
3
STEP
Once you’ve finished setting up your audience,
click “Done” to proceed.
You can proceed with setting your campaign live or save your campaign
as a draft until the audience builds up.
If you set your campaign live, it can begin delivering
as soon as your segment reaches 300 people.
We need sometime to build your
audience…
16
17. Helpful tips to keep in mind
Audiences will not be matched unless the Insight Tag is correctly installed. Please
make sure that the Insight Tag appears as Verified before building your audiences.
Provided that you have enough traffic across your website segments, your audience
may take up to 48 hours to build.
At least 300 members must be matched first before the campaign can begin serving
impressions to your website visitors.
Once at least 300 members are matched, the campaign will launch automatically
if you activated your campaign by clicking “Launch.”
17
18. Once you’ve finished setting up your campaign, you can access your retargeting
audiences under Tools in the top navigation menu.
18
19. Clicking Edit will allow you to edit details on any retargeting audiences you’ve
created.
You can add any additional URLs if needed here (please note that it will take up to 48 hours to add any
additional audiences).

105. Matched Audiences - Retargeting Lists
A few things to remember
Running general brand/Direct response
content in addition to Retargeting is the
best way to acquire the most relevant
volume
If the retargeting list is limited, consider
expanding your general targets to avoid
limiting the scale
Retargeting audiences must be at least
300 members in order to start serving
impressions
106. Matched Audiences - Account Lists
A few things to remember
Target influencers or decision makers
for optimal response rates.
Larger lists will likely have better match rates.
We recommend at least 1,000 companies per
list
Use a CSV file format using only company
names in the first column.
• Check spelling to ensure the matching
process is as fast as possible.
• Avoid using special characters, URLs.
• Remove all formatting for optimal match rates.
• Ensure the first row says: companyname
Avoid hyper-targeting; it could limit scale and
delivery of your campaign. This includes:
• Uploading too small a list of companies or
• Layering too many targeting criteria in addition
to the account list.
107. Matched Audiences - Email Lists
A few things to remember
Use a CSV file format using only email
addresses in the first column.
• Check spelling to ensure the matching
process is as fast as possible.
• Remove all formatting for optimal match rates.
• Ensure the first row says: email
Avoid hyper-targeting; it could limit scale and
delivery of your campaign. This includes:
• Uploading too small a list of contacts, or
• Layering too many targeting criteria in addition
to the account list.
Target influencers or decision makers
for optimal response rates.
Larger lists will likely have better match
rates. We recommend at least 10,000
contacts in your lists
