Merge search keyword targeting into audience list targeting
Date
December 11, 2023
Summary
Search keyword targeting was merged into audience list targeting, and a new list type "Advanced segments" was added to the "Audience list.”
In the previous search keyword targeting, you can select keywords from a list of suggestions and create a list, but in "Advanced segments" you can input any keyword, and machine learning will create an optimal audience list based on the keyword. By using this list, ads are delivered not only to internet users who search for the input keywords themselves but also to users whose search behavior is highly similar to that of keywords.
Comments
-Your input keywords will be reviewed. Keywords that violate Advertising Data Usage Standards can’t be used.
Advertising Data Usage Standards Chapter 3 Data Use
“1. Prohibition on targeting by using personal data requiring careful handling”
“8. Protection for minors”
-The previous "Search keyword targeting" and ”Advanced segments" will run in parallel for a while. _You will need to migrate to ”Advanced segments” eventually. Use “Advanced segments."
