## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will targeting be exposed to advertisers immediately after creation?">
    No. You need to connect the targeting to ad products so advertisers can select it when booking campaigns.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I offer targeting only for specific ad products?">
    Yes, you can set different targeting options to expose for each ad product. You can connect high-value targeting only to premium ad products, or selectively provide targeting that matches the ad product characteristics.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the difference between auto-complete targeting and custom targeting?">
    Auto-complete targeting (age, gender, country, language) allows quick setup as targeting options are automatically recommended. Custom targeting allows you to create differentiated products by configuring targeting options directly using service-specific properties.
