Check out these updates and new features introduced in Gemini.

New Custom Audience Targeting For Search Introduced

Custom audience targeting is a new capability that allows you to use your own data, in combination with Yahoo data, to effectively target your customers in search results across multiple devices. It’s now available for both native and search ads on Yahoo Gemini for all US advertisers.

Now you can target searchers by their online behavior and interests, in addition to their search queries. Through Yahoo Gemini, you can choose audience segments defined by your own data, or use Yahoo data to engage searchers who are more likely to be interested in your products.

Take advantage of this new capability, so you can increase return on your ad spend, and

  • Retarget consumers who visit or perform specific actions on your website.

  • Engage existing app users based on their in-app behavior (cross-device targeting based on mobile advertising IDs or in-app behavior).

  • Target searchers based on more than 150 audience interest categories from Yahoo.

For more details on how to get started, contact a Yahoo account representative, or log into your Yahoo Gemini account. Check out these topics and how-to’s in the Gemini Advertiser Guide:

Important Update to Post Pay - Billing
