Create audiences without spreadsheets

No need to download your contact list and upload it to Meta; send the info automatically at critical moments to show the most relevant ads.

Retarget based on accurate data

Ontraport fills the gaps of incomplete pixel data that you get from most platforms and adds further segmentation based on buyer activity.

Save time with automation
Put your focus anywhere other than the antiquated task of manually downloading and uploading lists of contacts to create ad audiences.
call_split
Real-time actions, not static lists
In fact, skip lists altogether. Add contacts to audiences one at a time or in groups on an evergreen basis, based on form fill-outs, cart abandons or other actions.

Stop spending on leads who already bought
Showing ads to those who already converted wastes money and causes irritation; rest assured they’ll be automatically, instantly removed from ad campaigns.
There's no other software to my knowledge that will allow you to see what you have access to in Ontraport. The ability to know exactly what people are doing in your business and put them in different sequences based on that — that's gold.

Automated retargeting

Retargeting, also known as remarketing, is a method of advertising where you track site visitors who don’t take a desired action, such as filling out a form, requesting a consultation or purchasing a product, and continue to nurture them over time with Meta ads. Watch Sam Flegal talk through Meta custom audience best practices and strategies for retargeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because Meta Custom Audiences no longer run off of third-party cookies, it’s important to connect with Meta’s Conversions API; this allows you to share data with Meta right from your CRM. Ontraport has a prebuilt automation that can set this up for you so you’ll be able to get started with custom audiences with minimal hassle. You can set this up in three steps:

  • Download your prebuilt campaign in Ontraport.
  • Follow these steps to connect with Meta’s Conversions API.
  • Once you’re connected with Meta, check out this article to learn how to set up the right custom audiences.

Digital marketing funnels are like road maps that your prospects follow until they eventually convert into loyal customers. You can create all kinds of funnels depending on your business and strategy, however most center around the five customer lifecycle stages: Attract, Convert, Fulfill, Delight and Refer.

With marketing automation, your leads and customers will move from one stage to the next based on their interactions with your business. For example, your marketing platform can bump a contact to their next lifecycle stage automatically after they reach milestones like signing up for your newsletter or making a first purchase. The best part is, it all runs on autopilot after you set it up, which gives you the power to scale faster.


When you’re shopping for a marketing platform for your business, you’ll want to take your entire business into account — not just the marketing side of things. Whether you choose Ontraport or not, we recommend making sure your automation platform includes the following features, at the very least:

  • A website or landing page builder to share your business with the world online
  • A system for capturing leads and sending marketing emails
  • A contact management system (CRM) to keep track of clients and prospects
  • A payment processing tool to collect orders and charge credit cards

Of course, you’ll probably need more sophisticated tools as your business continues to grow. With Ontraport, you’ll have everything you need now and in the future — all under one roof.

Take a look at our buyer’s guide for a complete checklist of all the CRM, marketing automation and sales features to keep in mind throughout your software search. It’ll help you find the perfect platform for your business (even if you don’t choose Ontraport).


Remarketing, also known as retargeting, is when you show a custom, personalized message to a potential lead who has already interacted with your brand. For example, if somebody visits your site, adds a pair of shoes to their shopping cart and doesn’t buy, you can show them an ad the next day for the same pair of shoes they were eyeballing. You’ll be able to connect with leads more frequently, which allows you to stay top-of-mind and ultimately make more sales.


Marketing automation is technology that manages repetitive marketing tasks and complex campaigns so you don’t have to. This software allows you to automate your communication with leads and customers throughout the customer lifecycle, from their first touchpoint to post-purchase.

When paired with a CRM that collects data about your leads and customers, your marketing automation software can use that data to deliver engaging, effective experiences across multiple channels. Whether you use email marketing, SMS messages or a combination of the two, marketing automation tools will give you the power to turn more leads into customers — without managing the whole process manually.


Yes — Ontraport is a great fit for attracting new prospects, nurturing leads, generating sales and more for your B2B business. We offer reliable tracking and attribution, highly personalized communication channels, and ready-to-launch marketing funnels that you can kick off in minutes. Plus, since Ontraport lets you gather and store more data than most marketing automation solutions, you’ll be able to reach more potential customers and get better results from your marketing efforts.
