97% of visitors to your site won't convert on the first visit. Remarketing helps you bring them back.
Types of Remarketing
Standard Remarketing — shows display ads to previous visitors while they browse.
Dynamic Remarketing — shows the exact products/services the user viewed.
Search Remarketing (RLSA) — adjust bids for people who already know you when they search on Google.
Video Remarketing — YouTube ads for website visitors.
