Enable remarketing for your app

To show ads to people who have used your mobile app, you'll need to enable remarketing for your app. This article contains instructions for how to do this, as well as links to developer instructions.

Before you begin

If you're not familiar with your mobile app's code, consider working with an app developer or someone with a technical background.




  1. Click the tools icon  in the top right corner of your screen.
  2. Under “Shared library” click Audience manager.
  3. From the page menu on the left click Audiences sources.
  4. In the "App analytics" card, click Details, click the 3-dot icon and select Edit source.
  5. Decide what data to collect:
    1. “Collect standard data available from this data source” collects general website visit data.
    2. “Collect specific attributes or parameters to personalize ads” tailors your ads based on user activity.
      1. This option is also known as “Dynamic remarketing” and allows you to show ads to people on your remarketing lists based on their activity on your app.
  6. Select the general parameters you’d like to track.
  7. If you selected “Collect standard data available from this data source” move on to step 9.
  8. If you selected “Collect specific attributes or parameters to personalize ads”: 
    1. Select a business type. 
      1. Business type is used to collect information about activity on your website that's specific to your business type. If your business type isn’t listed, select “Other (custom option)".
    2. Select the business type parameters you’d like to track.
  9. Click Create and continue.
  10. Implement the global site tag and optionally the event snippet using the generated code and instructions.

After you've enabled remarketing for your app, you can then create remarketing lists based on user interactions with your app. A remarketing list lets you set rules that determine which users can see your ads, as well as a membership duration.
