Retargeting

Retargeting lets you reconnect with users who have already visited your website. Since many visitors don’t convert on their first visit, retargeting helps you stay top-of-mind and drive them back to complete a conversion.

GUIDE:


Why Retargeting Matters?

  • Improves conversion rates: People who’ve already shown interest are more likely to convert when reminded. choozle

  • Increases ROI: Since you’re targeting users with known engagement, your ad spend is more efficient than broad or cold-audience campaigns. choozle

  • Enhances brand recall: Repeated exposure helps build awareness over time. choozle

  • Supports cross-selling and upselling: After a user converts, you can retarget them with related products or offer

Retargeting Overview Document

Leveraging Retargeting

Tagging your Site

  • You need the Smart Container Tag installed on your site. That tag builds retargeting profiles by recording visitors.
  • Profiles collected by this tag remain valid for up to 90 days, which means your retargeting pool refreshes over time.
  • There is no separate “data CPM” for retargeting since it uses first-party data — only media placement CPM applies.

Creating a Retargeting Audience

  • Go to Audiences → + → Retargeting in Choozle.

  • You’ll see different types of retargeting segments:

    • Container Tag: Users who have visited pages you’ve defined in “Manage My Sites.”

    • Retargeting Tag: Profiles generated from users who engaged with past campaigns.

    • Click Retargeting: Users who clicked on specific creative assets.

  • Select which segments to include or exclude, then save your custom retargeting audience


Implementing a Retargeting Campaign

  • When building or editing an ad group, select your retargeting audience from the Audience Targeting dropdown.

  • Since retargeting inventory tends to be more limited, it’s common to set higher CPM bids. Choozle suggests starting bids of $4–$7 CPM for display retargeting.

  • Choose geolocation (for example, U.S.) or other layers as appropriate for your campaign.

Retargeting Audience Selection - Ad Group

Retargeting Internationally

  • If your advertiser account is set to the European Union region, Choozle automatically includes a Default IAB-compliant pixel in your Smart Container Tag.

  • This Default pixel collects consented user profiles, which typically makes this audience 3x larger than standard retargeted segments

  • To use it: navigate to Audiences → Retargeting, find the segment called “Default”, and include it in your audience builder.



Best Practices & Optimization Tips

  • Let your tag collect data: Allow at least 30 days of tag firing before launching a retargeting campaign — this ensures a more robust audience pool.

  • Consider cross-device targeting: Enabling cross-device expands reach but comes with an additional CPM cost (Choozle typically charges + $1 CPM for this)

  • Segment your audiences: Use different retargeting segments (site visitors, converters, clickers) across separate ad groups. This helps tailor your creative and bid strategy for each behavior type.

  • Adjust bid strategy: Because retargeting pools are smaller and higher-intent, bid more aggressively to win the inventory.

  • Exclude converters: If someone already converted, you might want to exclude them (or serve a different message) to reduce wasted spend.

  • Monitor churn: Since profiles expire (90 days), monitor the size and performance of your retargeting pools over time.

Strategic Use Cases

  • B2B / ABM: Retarget site visitors who visited your pricing, demo, or “contact us” pages to re-engage high-intent accounts.

  • E-commerce: Target users who added items to cart but didn’t complete checkout, or those who viewed product detail pages.

  • Lead generation: Retarget visitors who downloaded a content offer, visited a landing page, or partially filled out a form.

  • Brand engagement: Reconnect with users who consumed high-value content (blog, webinar, video) but didn’t convert.
