Getting started

To use audience exclusion with Google Ads, you first must create an audience tag.

Sensitive topics

Google's policies do not allow remarketing for ads related to personal hardships or other sensitive topics. You cannot use audience exclusion for these ads.

See the Google policy on personal advertising for more info.

How it works

You must create a new conversion tag in Google Ads to set up audience tagging. We use this tag to build the audience for exclusion.

This tag is not for ad optimization, but the delivered ads are counted in the "All conversions" column in the Reporting page in Google Ads. It is not possible to use this feature without adding to the "All conversions" results. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
