How it works
Extract SMS subscriber segments from Attentive
ConvertMate's growth team connects to your Attentive account and extracts subscriber lists segmented by engagement level, opt-in recency, and message response patterns. This includes active subscribers who've clicked links in recent campaigns, VIP segments based on purchase behavior triggered through SMS, and dormant subscribers who haven't engaged in 30+ days. The team configures which Attentive segments should sync to Google Ads based on your campaign goals and customer lifecycle stages.
Process and format audiences through ConvertMate
ConvertMate processes your Attentive subscriber data and transforms it into Google Ads Customer Match format, applying proper SHA-256 hashing to email addresses and phone numbers while maintaining segment classifications. The system removes duplicate entries across segments, validates data formatting requirements, and creates audience definitions that reflect SMS engagement levels rather than generic email list uploads. This processing step ensures your Customer Match audiences meet Google's minimum size requirements and match rate thresholds for effective campaign delivery.
Create Customer Match audiences in Google Ads
The growth team builds Customer Match remarketing lists in your Google Ads account based on the processed Attentive subscriber segments, creating separate audiences for high-engagement subscribers, recent opt-ins, and customers who've made SMS-attributed purchases. Each audience includes membership duration rules that automatically refresh as subscribers move between engagement tiers or opt out of your SMS program. These audiences become available across Search, Shopping, Display, and YouTube campaigns for coordinated retargeting strategies.
Apply audiences to active campaigns
ConvertMate's team assigns your SMS subscriber audiences to relevant Search and Shopping campaigns with bid adjustments that reflect engagement recency and purchase history from your text message program. High-engagement subscribers receive increased bids to ensure ad visibility during their active consideration windows, while dormant SMS subscribers get lower bids or exclusions to prevent wasted spend on disengaged contacts. The team monitors audience match rates and campaign performance to optimize which SMS segments drive the highest paid search conversion rates.
Use cases
Fashion retailer retargets SMS VIP segment with new collection launches
ConvertMate's growth team built this workflow for a direct-to-consumer fashion brand that collected 45,000 SMS subscribers through checkout opt-ins and website pop-ups. The team synced their Attentive VIP segment (customers who'd made 3+ SMS-attributed purchases) to a Google Ads Customer Match audience and created dedicated Shopping campaigns featuring new seasonal arrivals. By retargeting their most engaged text message subscribers with paid search ads, the brand achieved 3.2x higher conversion rates and 47% lower cost per acquisition compared to standard Shopping campaigns, while the growth team continuously optimized which product categories to feature based on SMS click patterns and Shopping ad performance.
Supplement brand excludes low-engagement SMS subscribers from paid search
ConvertMate's team implemented this integration for a health supplement company spending $180,000 monthly on Google Ads who wanted to stop wasting budget on subscribers who'd opted into SMS but never engaged with messages. The team synced Attentive's dormant subscriber segment (no clicks or purchases in 90+ days) to a Customer Match exclusion list applied across all Search and Shopping campaigns. This prevented the brand from bidding on customers who'd shown clear disinterest through their SMS behavior, reducing wasted ad spend by $22,000 monthly while the growth team reallocated that budget toward high-engagement subscriber audiences that converted at 2.8x the account average.
Home goods brand coordinates Search campaigns with SMS promotional calendar
ConvertMate's growth team built this workflow for a home decor retailer running weekly SMS flash sales to a 67,000-subscriber list. The team synced Attentive subscriber segments to Google Ads Customer Match audiences and configured Search campaigns that automatically increased bids on SMS subscribers during the 48-hour window following each text blast. When the brand sent promotional messages about dining room furniture sales, the corresponding Customer Match audience saw elevated Search ad visibility for related product keywords, ensuring customers who received the text message also encountered coordinated paid search ads. This cross-channel coordination improved SMS-attributed revenue by 34% while maintaining efficient cost per acquisition across both channels.
Electronics retailer builds lookalike audiences from high-value SMS customers
ConvertMate's team implemented this integration for a consumer electronics brand that identified their SMS subscriber base as 2.4x more valuable than email-only customers based on lifetime value analysis. The team synced Attentive's highest-spending subscriber segment to Google Ads Customer Match, then used that audience as a seed list for Similar Audiences that expanded reach to new customers with comparable behavioral patterns and purchase intent signals. The resulting prospecting campaigns acquired new customers at 41% lower cost per acquisition than standard demographic targeting while maintaining similar conversion rates, as the lookalike modeling prioritized users who resembled the brand's most engaged SMS subscribers rather than generic interest-based audiences.
