You can create precise audiences of contacts based on activities performed, stages reached, or properties sourced from your CRM or enriched by Dreamdata using our Audience Builder. After creating these audiences, you can easily start sending them to Google Ads to be able to use them in your campaigns for ad targeting (Google Adsprocessing may take up to 24 hours). You only need to set this up once - after the initial setup Dreamdata will automatically send any updates (removals or additions) on your audiences to Google Ads daily.
How to send an audience to Google Ads?
On Dreamdata's main menu, navigate to Audience Hub -> Syncs and select Google Ads Customer Match
Click the Enable button to connect your Google Ads account.
Choose an Audience (contacts) and the Ad Account for which you want to use the Audience from the 2 drop-downs available and click Save.After saving a sync, Dreamdata will send the following data to Google Ads:
Email Address (hashed)
First Name (hashed)
Last Name (hashed)
Country Code
The minimum audience size accepted by Google Ads is: - 1000 active visitors/users within the last 30 days for Youtube - 1000 active visitors/users within the last 30 days for Google Search Network - 100 active visitors/users within the last 30 days for Google Display Network - 100 active visitors/users within the last 30 days for Gmail
You will be able to see a list with all saved audience sync settings and some properties:
Ad Account name and ID - the name and ID for the selected Ad Account
Audience name - the name of the used audience
Count - the amount of contacts in the selected audience
Match rate - the match rate for the audience in Google Ads, which represents the percentage of the uploaded audience that could be connected to Google users
Last Synced - the time when Dreamdata last synced the contacts
Enabled - on means that we are continuously sending updates to Google Ads based on updates to the audience (decide if you want to pause sending updates by turning it off)
Delete - delete the audience sync settings from Dreamdata (note: this does not delete the audience/segment from Google Ads, you will have to do that directly in Google Ads; but no more updates will be sent to the audience)
Google Ads requires up to 24 hours for the initial processing of an audience.
