Auto-generated remarketing lists

Remarketing lists that are generated by Microsoft Advertising.

Auto-generated remarketing lists are those that Microsoft Advertising creates automatically for you. These lists help you re-engage with people who are most likely to convert. There are three types of auto-generated remarketing lists:

All Visitors. People who have visited your website.
All Converters. People who have converted.
Smart Remarketing. People who are likely to convert. Smart Remarketing is powered by Microsoft Advertising's audience intelligence and designed to deliver a higher conversion rate.

Note

We use a membership duration of up to 180 days for auto-generated remarketing lists.

Important

You must have a Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag to use any auto-generated remarketing list type. For All Converters and Smart Remarketing lists, you must also have active conversion goals in place. Learn more about Universal Event Tracking and conversion goals.
