Chapter 2: How Segment Prioritisation works

Updated over 4 months ago

With Segment Prioritisation, you don’t exclude or push specific product segments - you adjust their visibility. The key is deciding which products matter most for your goal:

  • Boost → segments containing products you want to show more often

  • Reduce → segments containing products you want to show less often

Types of segments that can be prioritised

You can prioritise either:

  • Your own custom segments → e.g. Bestsellers, New Arrivals, Poor Performers

  • SMART segments → ready-made, powered by ROI Hunter’s best practices + Meta’s recommendations

How to set segment positions

The position defines how strongly a segment is boosted or reduced.

  • 1st position = highest intensity

  • 2nd, 3rd… = lower intensity

You can see the actual effect in Segments in Campaigns when filtering an ad set with SP. The exact impact can’t be predicted in advance, since it depends on the current spend levels of each segment.

Giving multiple segments the same priority

⚠️ This feature is yet to be released ⚠️

If several segments are equally important, you can group them and give them the same priority level instead of placing them one above another. This makes SP more flexible for complex catalogue strategies.

How it works

  1. Click Create Segment Group

  2. Select multiple segments at once (checkboxes)

  3. Click “Add X selected as a group”

  4. The group appears as one item in the list

  5. They can drag & drop it up/down to set priority

  6. They can ungroup anytime if needed

💡 When to use segment grouping

This is especially useful when you want to prioritise groups of product segments that share the same business logic - for example combining products by category, product type, or brand (e.g., Bestsellers across Women’s & Men’s, New Arrivals across multiple brands, Top price tiers across categories).

FAQ

What happens when a product belongs to segments from both boost and reduce sections?

The Reduce setting takes priority. That’s why you may see fewer boosted products after adding a segment to the Reduce section.
