Building Custom Audiences in Google Analytics

This article walks you through configuring custom B2B audiences in Google Analytics, including examples such as target account watchlist, company size, or industry, or build directly from Analytics reporting.

Create audiences to engage with companies visiting your website. You’ll need a KickFire API key, access to Google Analytics, a KickFire integration into Google Analytics and custom dimensions configured with KickFire data.
