Create Remarketing Audiences On Search Products

For this first tip, go to Microsoft Ads. Recently, advertisers can obtain, from their interface, lists of product IDs with which Internet users have interacted during their searches. Very useful, these lists can be used to create dedicated remarketing campaigns. Thanks to the ID, the searched product can, therefore, be quickly promoted via an ad. You thus obtain Microsoft Ads campaigns equivalent to the dynamic retargeting offered by Google Ads. To function fully, this type of campaign first requires the installation of a product feed in Microsoft Merchant Center as well as the installation of a UET Microsoft Advertising tag on each page of your site.

Expand Ad Distribution To Search Partners

• Settings: these allow you to activate/deactivate search partners according to recorded performance.
