class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Ads audiences are groups of people who have shown an interest in your products or services. You can create audiences based on a variety of factors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Demographics<\/strong>: Age, gender, location, income level, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interests\/Affinity<\/strong>: Hobbies, interests, online behaviour, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Past behavior<\/strong>: Website visits, app usage, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_Google_Ads_audiences_important\"><\/span>Why are Google Ads audiences important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Ads audiences are important because they allow businesses to target their ads more effectively. When businesses target their ads to people who are already interested in what they have to offer, they are more likely to get clicks, conversions, and sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_Google_Ads_audiences_work\"><\/span>How do Google Ads audiences work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Ads audiences work by using a variety of factors to determine which people are most likely to be interested in your ads. These factors can include demographics, interests, and even past behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are selling a new type of dog food, you could create a Google Ads audience that targets people who have recently searched for &#8220;dog food&#8221; on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_create_a_Google_Ads_audience\"><\/span>How to create a Google Ads audience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a Google Ads audience, you will need to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the Google Ads website and log in to your account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the &#8220;Tools&#8221; icon and select &#8220;Audiences&#8221; from the menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the &#8220;Create Audience&#8221; button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the type of audience you want to create.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the criteria you want to use to target your audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review your audience and click on the &#8220;Create&#8221; button<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_your_audience_type\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/google-ads\/answer\/2497941?hl=en#zippy=%2Caffinity-segments%2Chealth-affinity-segments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Choose your audience type<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cLet&#8217;s say you&#8217;re an online seller of cables or electronics parts.
