How to Apply Google AdWords Audience Insights?

There are two insight categories which needed to be discussed before applying the insight-

In-Market Audiences

The criterion for being “In-Market”, the user has to actively search and compare products and services online.

Google AdWords considers various things such user’s search history, content consumption trend particularly type and frequency, social activity and others for qualifying users to its In-Market categories-

Affinity Audiences

Google goes for adopting a wide range of device activities while determining a user’s affinities. Google collects all information related to the interests of the users through Android, iOS and user’s browser activity.

The data don’t ensure the entirety of your customer base as they would be using alternative operating systems or may have never used DoubleClick’s servers.

Demographics

You can know the age, gender, and parental status of consumers as Google has made several systems where users put their personal data.

Google also avails data from user’s web browsing and app activity done on mobile devices while household income data is gathered through I.R.S.

Locations

AdWords determines a user’s location in several ways, possibly by the IP address of the computer, the Wi-Fi network, GPS, Bluetooth and the mobile tower.

Devices
