In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up a retargeting ad on Instagram.
Step 1: Connect your Instagram account to Facebook Ads Manager

- Click on “Settings” in the top-right corner.
- Select “Instagram Accounts” from the left-hand menu.
- Click on “Add” and follow the prompts to connect your Instagram account.
Step 2: Set up a custom audience
In order to retarget specific users on Instagram, you need to create a custom audience. This audience will consist of people who have interacted with your website, app, or Instagram profile. To set up a custom audience, follow these steps:
- Go to Facebook Ads Manager and click on “Audiences” in the top-left corner.
- Click on “Create Audience” and select “Custom Audience” from the drop-down menu.

- Click on ”Create Audience” to save your custom audience.
Step 3: Create a retargeting ad on Instagram
Now that your Instagram account is connected to Facebook Ads Manager and you have a custom audience ready, it’s time to create your retargeting ad on Instagram. Follow these steps:
- Go to Facebook Ads Manager and click on “Create” in the top-left corner.
- Select “Ad” and choose the objective that aligns with your campaign goals, such as “Traffic” or “Conversion”.
- In the ad creation process, under the “Audience” section, select the custom audience you created in step 2.
- Set up the rest of your ad campaign, including the ad format, budget, and duration.
- Click on “Publish” to launch your Instagram retargeting ad.
