Google Retargeting Connector

1. Feature Overview

When a lead interacts and shows interest in your product or service, on your website or landing pages, LeadSquared captures these leads, along with their details (such as name, phone number, email Id, etc.). Google retargeting (or remarketing) enables you to mount a sustained marketing campaign that shows only relevant ads to these leads, about the specific offering they’re interested in.

Through LeadSquared’s Google Retargeting Connector, you’ll be able to automatically send the list of leads who’ve shown interest in a particular product or service, from LeadSquared to Google Ads. These leads will get ads only for those specific products or services.

Some of the benefits of Google retargeting are –

  • Narrows down the target audience of a Google ad, to focus on only the list of leads who’ve shown interest in that specific product or service.
  • Reduces manual effort and time spent in populating Google Ads with the list of leads who’ve shown interest.
  • Up-sell and cross-sell products and services to existing customers, by showing them relevant ads.
  • Gather more information from your leads with advanced field mapping for both standard and custom fields.
  • Reduces the overall cost of a campaign, while increasing its efficiency, relevance and impact.
  • Analyse and measure the effectiveness of each campaign with detailed reports and analytics.
