Setting up Remarketing Campaigns

Setting up Remarketing Campaigns in Google Ads helps every Indian business, local shop, freelancer, and service provider reconnect with people who visited your website or watched your videos but did not buy or contact. Remarketing ads remind these visitors about your services and offers, bringing them back to finish what they started. Even beginners can set up smart remarketing campaigns in Google Ads for higher conversion rates and lower ad costs. Here is a step-by-step guide, best strategies, practical tools, and local examples tailored for Indian users.

How Remarketing Campaigns Work

Remarketing means showing ads only to people who visited your website, app, or YouTube channel before. Google Ads uses a small code (tag) on your website to remember these visitors. When they browse other sites, apps, or even Google Search, your ad appears again, reminding them to buy, call, or book service. This brings better return on ad spends since such visitors are already interested in your business.

Steps to Set Up a Remarketing Campaign in Google Ads

• Login to Google Ads and click Tools & Settings
• Choose Audience Manager from the Shared Library section
• Create custom segments – for example, all page viewers, cart abandoners, or demo bookers
• Get your Google Ads remarketing tag (code snippet), place it in the global site tag (gtag.js) of your website (best added to all pages)
• Build your audience lists – viewers of product pages, checkout pages, those who saw videos, added to cart but did not buy, etc.
• Set a lookback window (recommend 7-30 days for Indian businesses), exclude converted users if possible
• Go to Google Ads, create new campaign, select ‘Display’ or ‘Video’ or ‘Search’ network as suited to your business
• Select your remarketing audience in the campaign settings and choose daily budget, bid strategy (Maximize Conversions, Target CPA), location, and language
• Design responsive display ads or video ads, keeping message, images, and call-to-action clear and relevant
• Enable frequency capping to avoid showing one ad too often and causing ad fatigue
• Review and launch campaign, check performance every week and make changes in ad copy, bidding, or audience as required

Simple Remarketing Types Every Indian Business Can Use

Best Strategies to Win Results from Remarketing in India

• Segment audiences by behavior – show separate ads to product viewers, cart abandoners, form fillers, or video watchers
• Exclude converted users; avoid showing same ad to those who already purchased or called
• Design custom ad messages and offers to different segments
• Set frequency capping so ads do not repeat more than twice a day per person
• Optimize landing page experience for mobile users; make page fast and contact easy
• Change ad creatives every month to keep interest fresh and reduce ad fatigue

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using one generic ad for all visitor segments—make customized ads for better engagement
• Missing exclusions for converters—wasting budget and annoying loyal customers
• Leaving frequency capping off—can lead to people ignoring your brand
• Ignoring ad performance reports—always monitor click rates, conversions, and adjust accordingly
• Poor landing pages—if page is slow or confusing, remarketing will not convert

Real Indian Examples

• Ecommerce site retargets cart abandoners with special discount banner—conversion rate jumps instantly
• Tiffin service runs remarketing display ads to people who visited but did not order, with WhatsApp call-to-action
• Fitness studio shows video remarketing ads to those who watched free workouts, promoting premium programs
• Tuition centre uses Search remarketing to target parents who visited site and searched further for classes
