Google Audience

Overview

Google Customer Match lets you use first-party data to share the unique insights you have about your customers beyond Google’s understanding. That can allow you to deepen existing customer relationships—or build new ones—across all of Google's properties in a privacy-safe way. This is becoming increasingly important as Google phases-out cookie-based remarketing due to privacy, browser, and regulation changes.

Customer Match can provide one of the most scalable product solutions for you to make the most of your first-party data while continuing to get the performance benefits that you expect from Google.

You can levereage the audiences created in CE to reach and re-engage with your customers across Search, the Shopping tab, Gmail, YouTube, and Display. Using information that your customers have shared with you, Customer Match will target ads to those customers and other customers like them.

Currently, CE syncs only email addresses Google Customer Match Audience.

Using CE for Google Audiences comprises two steps:

1. Authorise CE to access your Google Ad Account(s) or Google Ad Manager Account(s)
2. Create Customer Match Audiences

Authorising CE to access your Google Ad Account(s) or Google Ad Manager Account(s)

In order to create Google Audiences through CE, you need to allow CE to access your Ad Manager Account.

To authorize CE, perform the following steps:

• Go to Settings > Integrations.

• Click on Add New. You will see a Right hand side pane with Google Ad Account listed on the pane

  

• Click on Sign-in with Google. You will be required to sign-in and authorize with the account which is associated with your business's Google ad account/ ad manager account. While signing in - you will be required to Authorize Netcore with the scopes mentioned in order to use Google Customer Match

📘

Note

• You can add only one Google account per panel

• You have successfully authorized CE to Upload Audiences to the Google Ad Accounts associated with the customer.

• You'd automatically redirected to the Google Audience page where you will be creating the Audience
• In order to change or remove the connected Ad Account you can comeback to this page and chose to do the same - Respective options are available on the Google Ad Account.

  • You can chose to disable this option in the Dashboard

• In-Progress – The sync process has started from CE side
• Running – Audience has been pushed to Google - Google is processing the request at their end
• Success – Audience is successfully sent to Google. (Gooogle might take more its own time to do matching)
• Failed/Permission Error - There was some issue with the Audience Sync process
