Topics Targeting
The Essentials
Ads run on content that matches chosen categories (e.g., “Fitness,” “Finance,” “Travel”).
Why Pix Loves Them
Allows for broad reach across many relevant contexts, is easy to scale without needing deep keyword lists, and is most useful for brand awareness campaigns.
Limitations
Less precise than audience or keyword targeting, adds more of a risk of wasted impressions if topic categories are too broad, and is not always tied to exact user intent
