Create Google Ads customer match audiences from Adobe Analytics and Audience Manager audiences
Google Ads accounts that are eligible for customer match only
Advertisers with an Adobe Advertising-Adobe Audience Manager or Adobe Advertising-Adobe Analytics integration only
Opted-in advertisers can create Google Ads customer match audiences using user IDs from a) Analytics segments that are shared with Adobe Experience Cloud and b) Audience Manager segments that have Search, Social, & Commerce as a destination, including Analytics segments that are published to Adobe Experience Cloud and segments that are created using the Adobe Experience Cloud Audience Library. Search, Social, & Commerce automatically pushes a Google tracking URL back to each Analytics or Audience Manager segment so that Google can track the audience.
Each Adobe audience can be used for only one Google audience.
Each new Google audience has the same name as the original Adobe audience. Google determines how large the audience must be to be targetable.
