BuildOps surveyed the top 1000 construction companies in the United States to discover which retargeting technologies fuel their success. Our team identified hundreds of platforms and tools leveraged by some of the most successful construction companies.

What We Discovered
Roughly 22% of construction companies use this tool. It is retargets website visitors on Facebook or the Google Display Network.

Retargeting is also the most inexpensive campaign tactic that can lead to up to a 150% increase in conversion rates.
What’s the usage of retargeting platforms among the top 1000 construction companies? Our team discovered the active usage of 9 different retargeting platforms among the top construction companies.
