4. Perfect Competitor Audiences

Combined Audiences can get VERY detailed and sometimes too much

How To Use
> Combined Audiences
> Target
1. competitor website audience (audience must be already created)
2. AND -> another competitor website audience

but let's say a YT vlogger reviewed your product alongside a competitor...
you can actually use that video
(no permission needed)
for your own YT ads
CRAZY RIGHT?!
