When a visitor on your website looks at a product and then leaves the site without generating a conversion, you can have advertisements shown to him of the products for which he searched when he goes to another website in the Google Display Network.

Why employ Dynamic Remarketing?

Because dynamic remarketing adjusts itself to the visitor, it has a larger effect than regular remarketing, because the recognition is bigger. The advertisements themselves are also more noticeable, because instead of regular text or banner advertisements it is now possible to make the advertisement more dynamic and interactive. For example, think of the displaying of a specific product that a user has in their shopping cart, with a photo, price and possible deal.

Normal advertisements are targeted keywords, dynamic advertisements, however, are displayed based on the content of your website. Because of this you do not need keywords. The web crawling technology of Google is used to automatically target relevant search results based on the content of your website. If you combine this with remarketing, you are left with a powerful tool for bringing your products to the customer.
