Ad listings are only displayed when people search for something related to what you, the advertiser, is promoting, in most cases, in the location where you are searching from. If you are worried about younger searchers using it, never fear, as 66% of users under 30 access their email accounts from their smartphones, so they are getting it.

You can use the data to segment your audience into smaller groups that you can strategically market to based on their likes and links they clicked on in your emails.
