NEW: Detailed Demographics Feature
The decision to introduce the Detailed Demographics Beta Version for a selection of advertisers thrives to be the most advanced demographic targeting in AdWords and Google Ads to date. :)
This is a huge upgrade! Google has managed to reach new and multiple audiences in a very useful way not just for advertisers, but for users by reducing the amount of irrelevant / uninteresting ads they see.
For example, advertisers can now go beyond the standard targets of the past and focus on education, parental status, marital status and home ownership. These demographic factors are designed to help you reach relevant target audiences more specifically and accurately, enabling you to deliver more relevant ROI focused advertising.
