Why Isn’t My Retargeting Audience Building?

Your retargeting campaign isn’t delivering or the audience isn’t growing — check pixel installation, site traffic, and how long it takes for a retargeting audience to build.

Last updated September 1, 2026

Problem

You have a retargeting campaign set up but it is not delivering, or the retargeting audience is not growing.

Likely Causes

  1. 1The retargeting pixel is not installed on your website.
  2. 2The pixel is only on a few pages rather than all pages — the audience builds slowly when only a fraction of visitors are tracked.
  3. 3Your site does not have enough traffic yet — Topple requires a minimum audience size before a retargeting campaign can deliver.
  4. 4The pixel was recently installed — allow time for the audience to accumulate.

How to Fix It

  1. 1
    Confirm the retargeting pixel is installed correctly on all site pages (except the thank-you page).
  2. 2
    If site traffic is low, run prospecting campaigns first to drive more visitors to your site before launching retargeting.
  3. 3
    Allow at least a few days to a week after installation before expecting the audience to be large enough for delivery.
