What it is
Retargeting — sometimes called remarketing — is the practice of showing ads specifically to people who have already visited your website or engaged with your content. A visitor comes to your pricing page and leaves without contacting you — retargeting serves them ads on other websites and social platforms to bring them back. It works through small tracking pixels placed on your site that enable ad platforms to identify and reach those visitors later.
Why it matters
Most people don't convert on the first visit. Retargeting keeps you in front of warm audiences — people who already know you exist and have shown interest. These are almost always your most cost-effective ad impressions because you're not starting from scratch.
The mistake most people make
Showing the same generic ad to everyone who visited any page on your site. A person who read your blog post needs a different message than someone who abandoned your checkout or contact form. Segment your retargeting audiences by behavior and tailor the message accordingly.
