Create a custom combination list

30/11/2019

You can reach a custom audience by combining remarketing lists in an AND, OR, or NOT relationship. Custom combination lists let you create advanced lists out of existing remarketing lists. Say that you want to offer a special price to people who buy three products as a set -- for example, a mobile phone, a headset and a charger--but these products are in three different URLs. To create a remarketing list of people who visited the three products, you could create one list of "people who visited the mobile phone page," one list of "people who visited the headset page," and a third list of "people who visited the charger page." Then, you could create a custom combination to reach people who saw the mobile page AND the headset page AND the charger page.

Before you begin

You can choose how to combine lists based on your preferences. For example, you can select five lists in an AND relationship by either selecting the "each of these audiences" option from the drop-down menu and adding five lists, or by clicking the AND button and adding five lists in five separate lines. When you create a custom combination list, membership durations remain intact for each remarketing list that's part of the combination. Note that the number of users in your custom combination is updated every few hours and if your list is being actively targeted, the customers in your list are updated near real-time. 

Custom combination lists can be created by combining any of the following list types:

  • Website visitors
  • App users 
  • Customer list​
  • Similar audiences

​Use caution when combining an App list with another list type, as it may result in zero users.

Similar audiences can only be used in a single OR condition. This means that they can’t be used for AND conditions or multiple OR conditions with any other list type, including another Similar audience. 

Once you've created custom combination lists, you'll need to add them to your campaigns or ad groups.
