- Adding targeting details such as Location, Interests, etc., from scratch can take a lot of time and effort.

- Reporting is not streamlined for audiences to analyze data across campaigns.

  • Create audience templates of commonly applied audience sub-segments to create efficiency in the campaign creation process. Additionally, leverage audience groups to identify which segments of the audiences are driving the highest ROI.

  • If you use a particular targeting very often, for example, Location, Custom Audience, etc., you can create an Audience Group and use that while creating a new audience. This will effectively reduce the time taken to build your audience from scratch.

  • In Ads Reporting, the Audience Groups will be exposed as new dimensions that you can use to analyze the aggregate of all the Campaigns using these targeting.

  • You can use custom fields relevant to your targeting in Audience Groups. So, every time you use an audience group, you will no longer require to tag the custom fields, thereby reducing any manual errors and saving time.
