Household income targeting will allow:

  • Target the top 10% of households in high-value, high-cost campaigns to ensure that top-converting keywords with high commercial intent receive a large chunk of your overall budget.
  • Exclude low-income households from all campaigns.
  • Adjust bids within the top of funnel search campaigns to concentrate budget on high-income searchers without dampening search volume.
