What's a good Audience Overlap?

A good Audience Overlap for a local business is 20.0% or lower. Percentage of audience overlap between ad sets. An excellent Audience Overlap — the top tier Karbon Agency grades client campaigns against — is 5.0% or lower, while 40.0% marks the minimum acceptable tier.

Why Audience Overlap matters

High overlap means your ad sets compete against each other in auction, driving up costs. Clean audience separation lets each ad set optimize independently.
