At CKREU, a Google Premier Partner agency, we prioritize cutting-edge solutions to drive growth and deliver measurable results for our clients. Google’s Customer Match is one of the most powerful tools we use to help our clients acquire new business.

What Is Google Customer Match?

Google Customer Match enables businesses to upload first-party customer data—such as email addresses or phone numbers—into Google Ads. This data is securely matched against Google accounts to create tailored audience segments for targeted campaigns. Most importantly, Customer Match helps you find new customers that have similar search patterns as your current customers, which increases your customer base.

By leveraging this first-party data, advertisers can deliver highly relevant ads to current and prospective customers across Google’s platforms, including Search, YouTube and Gmail.

The Shift Toward First-Party Data

With third-party cookies phasing out and privacy regulations like General Data Protection Regulation and Apple’s App Tracking Transparency impacting data collection, first-party data has become a cornerstone of successful digital advertising. Google Customer Match not only aligns with these shifts but also provides a privacy-safe way to enhance campaign performance.

At CKREU, we recognize the urgency of adapting to these changes. First-party data powers advanced targeting, fuels Google AI and enables performance optimization—essential components for maintaining a competitive edge in today’s digital landscape.

How CKREU Uses Customer Match

1. Data-Driven Audience Segmentation
   We work with our clients to segment their customer data into actionable lists, such as repeat buyers, high-value customers and inactive users. This segmentation allows us to tailor messaging and offers to specific audience groups, maximizing relevance and engagement.

2. Optimizing Campaign Performance With Smart Bidding
   By integrating Customer Match with Google’s Smart Bidding, we help our clients achieve better cost efficiency and higher conversion rates. In general, campaigns using Customer Match see an average 20% increase in conversions per dollar spent and a 3.6% reduction in cost per click.

3. New Customer Acquisition
   Customer Match plays a critical role in expanding our clients’ customer base. Features like Google’s New Customer Acquisition goal allow us to optimize for first-time buyers, delivering tailored ads that appeal to fresh audiences while maintaining efficiency.

4. Personalized Marketing Across Channels
   Using Customer Match, we ensure our clients’ messaging resonates across all platforms, including Search, Shopping and YouTube. This seamless integration leads to a consistent and engaging customer journey.

The Results Speak For Themselves

Clients leveraging Customer Match through CKREU have experienced transformative outcomes. Case studies show increases in return on ad spend (ROAS), reductions in cost per acquisition, and significant growth in new customer acquisition rates. For example, retailers have reported up to 120% increases in ROAS and 48% revenue growth using this approach.
