You can combine targeting types on Blockchain-Ads to create more precise audience segments. Here's how you do it:
Steps to Combine Targeting
Set up advanced targeting in minutes:
- In the HUB campaign creation form, switch to manual mode in the "Audience & Targeting" step.
- Select multiple categories from the dropdowns (e.g., behavioral and interest graph).
- Add subsegments from each category (e.g., DeFi Users from behavioral, Finance from interest).
- Use custom rules if needed to refine the combination.
- Apply geo or device filters for additional layering.
- Check audience size and impression estimates in the right panel.
- Test the combination by saving and previewing in the campaign summary.
Best Practices: Start with simple layers (e.g., 2-3 types) to test effectiveness; use combinations for gated audiences (e.g., age-restricted); monitor for over-narrowing by checking estimates regularly.
Troubleshooting: Zero estimates after combining? Remove a layer or broaden subsegments. Conflicts in segments? Simplify by reducing categories or contacting support@blockchain-ads.com. Low delivery? Adjust geo/device filters.
