Your account targets OEM procurement leads, engineering designers, and quality managers — but you're running all three through one audience layer and wondering why ROAS is flat. Audience Architect translates your job-title list plus industry into the targeting structures you need: custom segments (built from search behavior and site affinity), in-market audiences (showing active B2B buying intent), observation layers (learning from competitor site visitors). For metal fabrication, you segment procurement leads (cost-driven, vendor-evaluation focused) from engineering leads (capability-driven, DFM-focused) from quality managers (certification-driven, compliance-focused). Each gets different bid strategies, different landing-page destinations, and different ad copy (procurement talks cost; engineering talks capability; quality talks documentation). Audience Architect sizes each layer so you're not accidentally shrinking your reach to nothing with overly-tight targeting. The outputs are editor-ready segment lists so your team can build audience layers quickly without guessing. Recommendation: build separate audience layers per job title and run them as observation-only initially to validate size. Once you confirm segment viability, split them into separate campaigns per layer so you can optimize bid strategies per persona.

Audience Architect for metal fabrication
Builds targeting structures from job titles, applied to metal fabrication & contract manufacturing.
About Audience Architect
Translates a list of job titles plus industries into the targeting layers you actually need — custom segments, in-market lists, observation versus targeted splits — without the usual "audience too small" guesswork that shrinks B2B reach to nothing.
Full Audience Architect page →About metal fabrication
Job shops and contract manufacturers compete on capacity, certifications, and lead-time more than price. Their buyers are procurement managers and engineering leads at OEMs who need parts made to spec.
