Ad Targeting

Ad targeting is choosing which people an ad campaign tries to reach — by audience, interest, behavior, geography, device, or lookalike modeling — so budget is directed at the most relevant users. It is how an advertiser narrows or broadens who sees an ad.

Modern targeting on Meta and Google increasingly relies on the platform’s own modeling from conversion signals rather than manual interest selection. AnyTrack feeds clean, server-side conversions to the platforms, which sharpens the converter audiences and lookalike audiences the algorithm builds — better seed data produces better-targeted delivery and better retargeting pools.

  • Segmentation — segmentation organizes your own data into groups; ad targeting points a campaign at people, often using those groups.
  • Audience — an audience is the group itself; ad targeting is the act of aiming a campaign at one.
