Setting up retargeting ads based on the time users spend on your site can drive higher quality traffic, helping you optimise your budgets through better retargeting.
Steps:
1. Create your Facebook pixel.
2. Create Custom Conversion events based on time spent on your website, with 30-second multiples (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180).
3. Build a conversion campaign, and use these time-based events as the optimisation goal.
4. Drive higher quality visits to your website.
These custom events allow you to optimise your campaign for the time spent on site.
While e-commerce companies might prefer to set up retargeting events based on specific intent triggers (e.g. Add To Cart), these time-based events are especially useful for businesses that do not have such a clear pre-purchase events.
Test these retargeting campaigns for high-intent readers on your blogs or product description pages.
