Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How long should my retargeting window be?

It depends on your sales cycle. For e-commerce with impulse purchases, 7 to 14 days captures most recoverable intent. For B2B SaaS with longer evaluation cycles, 30 to 90 days is appropriate. Claude Code recommends windows based on your reported time-to-conversion data.

What frequency cap should I set?

For Meta, 2 to 3 impressions per day per user is a common starting point before creative fatigue sets in. Claude Code calculates caps based on your audience size and budget to avoid burning out small retargeting pools.

Can I retarget video viewers and social engagers?

Yes. Claude Code includes engagement-based retargeting segments for users who watched video ads, engaged with posts, or visited your Instagram profile. These are useful warm audiences when your pixel data is limited by iOS tracking restrictions.
