Behavioral Targeting: A Practical Guide for Marketing Teams

Understand behavioral audiences and use page visits, clicks and conversions to personalize onsite campaigns.

What behavioral targeting means

Behavioral targeting uses actions a visitor has taken—pages viewed, campaigns clicked, visits repeated or conversions completed—to decide what experience to show next.

Use recent behavior

A pricing-page visit yesterday is usually more useful than a generic demographic assumption. Time windows help keep the audience relevant.

Combine behavior with source

A returning visitor from an email campaign may deserve a different message from a new visitor arriving from search, even if both are on the same page.

Build exclusions too

Good targeting includes who should not see a campaign. Exclude purchasers, existing subscribers or visitors who already completed the goal.

Put the strategy into a real campaign.
