Cost: Sometimes 30-50% cheaper than custom audiences

  • Website visitors (Meta pixel capture)
  • Video viewers (75%+, 50%+, 25%+ watched)
  • Lead ad interactions (forms initiated but not submitted)
  • Abandoned cart** (e-commerce)
  • Email list (upload CRM)

Typical ROAS: 5-10x (sometimes 20x+!)

Budget allocation: 40-50% of the total budget should go to retargeting

Layered Audiences (Advanced)

  • Audience A: Website visitors (30+ jours)
  • Intersection: Interested in “fitness” (Meta data)
  • Age: 25-45
  • Location: Casablanca
  • Exclude: Existing customers
