Paid Media

Remarketing

Definition

Serving ads to users who have previously visited your website or interacted with your brand. Remarketing audiences typically convert at a higher rate and lower CPA than cold audiences, making it a high-ROAS channel.

How Remarketing works in practice

Remarketing audiences should be segmented by intent level: homepage visitors, product page viewers, cart abandoners, and past purchasers each warrant different messages, frequencies, and bid multipliers. For fintech and SaaS, remarketing to users who started but did not complete onboarding — with ads featuring friction-reducing content (tutorials, social proof, support) — is typically the highest-ROAS audience available. Frequency caps are essential to prevent ad fatigue; most B2B audiences should not see the same ad more than 3–5 times per week across channels. Excluding recent converters and active customers from acquisition campaigns prevents wasted spend and keeps the user experience positive.

Why this matters

This term sits in the Paid Media category, which means it is most useful when evaluating paid campaigns, auction dynamics, targeting control, and media efficiency. The goal is not to memorize the label. The goal is to know when it should change a decision, a page, a campaign, or a measurement setup.
