What Is Retargeting?

Retargeting is showing ads to people who have already visited your site or engaged with you — keeping you in front of warm prospects. It compounds outbound and content by reinforcing the accounts you have already touched.

Why retargeting works

A first touch rarely converts. Retargeting keeps your name present with people who already showed interest, so you are top of mind when timing arrives.

It is usually far more efficient than cold advertising because the audience is already warm.

How it is used in B2B

Pair retargeting with outbound so the accounts you are emailing also see you in their feed — multiple coordinated touches.

Keeping it relevant

Segment by what the person engaged with so the ad matches their interest, not a generic banner.
