Good to know
Ads are following the targeted audiences to the websites they visit. Excluding many ad placements may affect your campaign's effectiveness. Do it wisely.
You can prevent your ads from showing on specific placements (publisher or website), for example, don't show ads on a website that doesn't fit your brand, campaign messaging or isn't helping you sell your products or services. Keep in mind that the RollWorks platform only shows ads to the audience you define wherever they are on the internet. For example, Account Targeting segments a group of people into an audience based on their account affiliation and then we target those people. The relevancy of the sire to that overall audience may not be as important as getting your ad in front of the right people in that audience where they are on the internet.

Why we don't recommend excluding specific ad placements
At RollWorks, we prioritize account-based marketing over specific ad placements to maximize your campaign's reach and effectiveness. By utilizing machine-learning targeting, we identify and target your key accounts and contacts across the web, ensuring visibility on a multitude of sites, from B2B to consumer platforms, and maintaining a brand-safe experience. This approach allows us to engage with your target audience wherever they are online - be it reading news, checking social media, or browsing blogs - rather than limiting your reach to the audiences of predetermined placements. This strategy is not only more efficient but also crucial for building pipeline and awareness with precision and targeted budgets, avoiding the waste associated with placement-first strategies that may miss your actual target audience.
