Google Dynamic Remarketing in 8 Steps

Remarketing ads typically have a lower cost per acquisition, a higher click rate, and higher conversions than other forms of advertising. Google recently launched dynamic remarketing, where product names and prices, for example, can appear in the ads. So if a shopper visited a product page on your ecommerce site and then left, without purchasing the product, you could dynamically insert the details of that product in remarketing ads, to target that shopper.

Here are eight steps to set up a Google Dynamic Remarketing campaign.

1. Add the Google Dynamic Remarketing Tag on Your Site

Before you launch your Dynamic Remarketing campaign, make sure you have a clear idea of its goals.

  • Who are your highest converting visitors?
  • What are your best selling products and categories?

To install the remarketing tag on your website, add the remarketing tag on the desired pages following the </body> tag.

Once you install the tag, you can verify that it’s set up properly using Google Tag Assistant or Google Tag Manager.
