First-Party Data Retargeting
Website Visitor Retargeting
DV360 enables advertisers to create custom audiences based on users who have visited their website or specific web pages. This is typically done through:
-
Floodlight tags: These conversion tracking pixels can be placed on various pages of a website to track user behavior and create retargeting lists.
-
Google Analytics 360 integration: By linking GA360 with DV360, advertisers can create and target audiences based on detailed site behavior and custom segments.
Customer Match
Advertisers can upload customer lists directly into DV360 for retargeting. This feature allows targeting based on:
-
Email addresses
-
Phone numbers
-
User IDs
Customer Match has a minimum audience size requirement of 1,000 users to maintain privacy.
