The beta program for creating demographic options will soon be finished and released to the general public.
For a very long time have we sent feedback to Google to have demographic options for Shopping campaigns. Well, we have some good news, Google is currently testing this new feature.

What Can We Do
We can now create very targeted campaigns. Let’s say you sell an apparel gift pack for men. And we only want to target Women. Now you can by creating a new campaign with the exclusion of Male and Unknown, so that we can target only women. Avoiding wasted budget on placements to users who are Male or Unknown. Greatly increasing your ROAS target.
Or if you sell expensive products, you can target only top 10% of household income.
When Will It Be Released?
Currently, that is unknown.
Hi Emmanuel
Love reading your articles. I am desperately trying to get this solution in place. I can see on the search side that there are huge differences in conv rates by age and by gender and i want to get these adjustments onto the shopping campaigns. Do you think they will introduce them soon.
There is no indication that will be the case. It’s been so long now I doubt Google will do so.
