Set up search remarketing from Campaign Manager 360 remarketing lists

In Search Ads 360, you can see which Campaign Manager 360 audience (remarketing) lists are also responding to your search ads. Since this audience has already expressed an interest in your products, both from display ads and search ads, you may want to tailor your bids and ads to these visitors when they're searching on Google. To do so:

1. Create a Google Ads remarketing list in Google Ads or in Search Ads 360.
2. Add a snippet of code that you get from Google Ads, called a remarketing tag, to the same pages on your site that contain the Floodlight tags you're using to build your Campaign Manager 360 remarketing list.
   
   When people visit those pages, the Google Ads cookies associated with their browsers are added to the Google Ads remarketing list and the DoubleClick cookies are added to the Campaign Manager 360 remarketing list.

3. Once the Google Ads remarketing tag is added to your site, you can add the Google Ads remarketing list to an ad group that has keywords, bids and ads with a message tailored to customers on the remarketing list. You can do this from Search Ads 360 or from Google Ads.

For example:

1. You set up display-to-search remarketing as follows:
   1. In Campaign Manager 360, you have a set of display ads featuring the performance of a car, and these ads land on the the carmanufacturer.com/performance page of your site.
   2. You set up a Floodlight tag on that page and add visitor cookies to a Campaign Manager 360 remarketing list named "Car performance".
   3. In Search Ads 360, you view an audience report and notice that the "Car performance" audience generate a large number of conversions in your "economy car" ad group. 
   4. You think this audience would respond better to your "performance car" ads, so you set up a remarketing list in Google Ads and add the remarketing list to your "performance car" ad group.
   5. Next, you add the Google Ads remarketing tag to the carmanufacturer.com/performance page of your site.
2. A visitor clicks a display ad and lands on the carmanufacturer.com/performance page.
3. The Google Ads cookies associated with the visitor's browser are added to the Google Ads remarketing list.
4. The next time the visitor searches for a keyword in "performance car" ad group, your bids will increase, and you'll increase the likelyhood that the visitor will click on your "performance car" ad.
