Create a Segment and build an Audience
You will need to create a Segment to build an Audience in GA4. With the Audience you can run comparisons and filter reports. Plus of course run retargeting and exclusion programs.
We highly recommend that creating both an Ideal Customer Segment and an Exclusion Segment.
👉 'Ideal Customer Profile' Segment = the types of companies you want to win.
👉 'Exclusion Profile' Segment = the types of companies you definitely don't sell to.
