  • Visited specific URLs.
  • Spent X amount of time on your site.
  • Visited a specific number of pages.
  • etc.

Step 7: Set Retargeting Duration

  • Determine how long after their interaction you'd like to retarget these users (e.g., 30 days after visiting the website).

Step 8: Name Your Audience

  • Give your custom audience a descriptive name to help you recognize it later. This is especially important if you plan to create multiple custom audiences.

Step 9: Save and Sync Your Audience

  • Click the "Save" or "Create Audience" button.
  • HubSpot will then sync this custom audience with your connected ad platform.

Step 10: Launch a Retargeting Campaign

  • Once your custom audience is set up and synced, go to your ad platform (e.g., Facebook Ads Manager).
  • Create a new ad campaign and choose your HubSpot custom audience as the target.

Step 11: Monitor Performance

  • Regularly check back in HubSpot's Ad tool to monitor the performance of your ads targeting the custom audience.
  • Adjust the criteria for your custom audience or the ads themselves based on performance metrics to optimize results.
