Learn how you can create Google Floodlight segments in Google Search Ads 360.

Google Floodlight

To make use of Google SA360 segments, we need to have a Floodlight pixel implemented on the website. What’s more, it must fire with the selected u-variable, which will contain specific values we’d like to have in the Google SA360 segments.

Define U-variable

First of all, we need to make sure our Floodlight configuration is already U-variable, which we’d like to use.

Add U-variable to the Floodlight

To let Floodlight collect information for your U-variable, you need to check it and save changes.

Define Dimension or Metric

Under Advertiser Settings, you can add dimension or metric type to the U-variable. If you select dimension type, data in the report becomes more granulated based on the collected values.
