How it works

Export engagement segments from Klaviyo

ConvertMate's growth team identifies your most valuable Klaviyo segments including VIP customers based on purchase frequency, high-spending subscribers who exceed average order value thresholds, repeat purchasers with multiple transactions, and highly engaged email recipients with strong open and click patterns. The team configures which behavioral triggers and engagement metrics define each audience tier, ensuring your Google Ads targeting reflects the same customer intelligence that drives your email marketing strategy.

Process and format audiences for Google Ads

ConvertMate transforms your Klaviyo segment data into Google Ads Customer Match format, applying proper SHA-256 hashing to email addresses and phone numbers while maintaining privacy compliance standards. The system handles data normalization including formatting inconsistencies, removes invalid entries that would cause upload errors, and structures audience lists according to Google's technical requirements. This processing step ensures maximum match rates when audiences reach Google Ads while protecting customer data throughout the transfer.

Update Customer Match lists in Google Ads

The growth team syncs your formatted audiences directly to Google Ads Customer Match, creating new audience lists or updating existing ones based on your current Klaviyo segment membership. This connection runs on your preferred schedule whether daily, weekly, or triggered by specific Klaviyo segment changes, ensuring your paid search audiences always reflect your latest email engagement data without manual CSV exports or spreadsheet management.

Apply audience targeting to campaigns

ConvertMate automatically applies your updated Customer Match audiences to relevant Search, Shopping, and Display campaigns with appropriate bid adjustments based on each segment's value. The team configures campaign structures that treat VIP customers differently than standard subscribers, enabling higher bids for proven high-value audiences while maintaining efficient spend allocation across your entire customer base.

Use cases

Retarget engaged email subscribers with Search ads

The ConvertMate growth team builds Search campaigns that specifically target Klaviyo subscribers who opened your last three email campaigns but haven't purchased in 30 days. This approach reaches customers who demonstrate interest through email engagement with branded Search ads when they're actively researching products, capturing demand at the moment of purchase intent. The team configures bid adjustments that reflect each segment's historical conversion rate, ensuring you invest more aggressively on audiences that already know your brand through email touchpoints.

Create Shopping campaigns for repeat purchasers

For subscription box and consumables brands, the growth team segments Klaviyo repeat purchasers into dedicated Google Shopping campaigns that showcase complementary products and upsell opportunities. This strategy reaches customers who already trust your brand with product discovery ads featuring items they haven't purchased yet, expanding wallet share among your most reliable customer base. The team structures these campaigns with higher target ROAS thresholds since repeat customers convert at 3-4x the rate of cold traffic.

Exclude recent purchasers from acquisition campaigns

The ConvertMate team applies your Klaviyo recent purchaser segments as negative audiences across prospecting Search and Shopping campaigns, preventing wasted impressions on customers who just completed transactions. This exclusion strategy redirects acquisition budget toward genuinely new prospects while your existing customers see retention-focused messaging through separate campaigns. The team configures appropriate lookback windows based on your product replenishment cycles, ensuring customers re-enter prospecting audiences once they're likely ready for repeat purchases.

Build lookalike audiences from VIP segments

The growth team exports your Klaviyo VIP customer segments to Google Ads Customer Match, then creates similar audience expansions that mirror your highest-value subscribers' characteristics. This approach scales your prospecting efforts by targeting users who share demographic, interest, and behavioral patterns with customers who already generate the majority of your email revenue. The team tests multiple similar audience sizes from 1% to 10% similarity to balance scale against precision, identifying the optimal expansion that maintains conversion quality while reaching new prospects.
