Retargeting consistently delivers some of the highest ROI in digital marketing, but most marketers avoid it because setup is a nightmare.
The Retargeting Setup Problem
Reddit is full of marketers struggling with retargeting complexity:
"I want to import my Google Ads conversions into GA4... I know how to import my GA4 conversions into Google Ads. But I want it the other way around." - u/Shoddy_Classroom5402
"I just ran my first retargeting campaign on Meta ads, and CTR doubled. Crazy what a warm audience does... Anyone else crushing retargeting lately?" - u/Upset_Fan_5178
The problem? Traditional retargeting requires juggling multiple platforms:
- Create custom audiences in Google Analytics
- Set up conversion tracking (key events)
- Link Google Analytics to Google Ads
- Build retargeting campaigns
- Optimize based on performance data
Each step requires platform expertise and manual configuration. Most marketers either skip retargeting or implement it poorly - similar to how they struggle with Google Ads automation in general.
