What is 1st-party data (1PD)—and why does it matter?
1PD is information your business already owns—like your customer contacts, leads, reviews, and transaction history. It’s one of the most valuable assets you have because it comes directly from your real customers.
With Hibu One, we’re turning that data into powerful audience segments that can be used to enhance your ad campaigns across platforms like Google and Meta.
The result? More precise ad targeting, better engagement, and stronger campaign performance over time.
Built for you—automatically
For qualifying Hibu One clients, we’ve already taken the first step.
If your business has at least 100 unique contacts, leads, reviews, or QuickBooks transactions, we’ve created a 1PD audience. These audiences are:
• Built automatically
• Continuously updated on a monthly basis
• Designed to grow as your data grows
That means every new customer interaction — whether it’s a new lead, review, or transaction — helps strengthen your audience and improve your marketing.
Not seeing results yet? Let’s change that.
If you’re not sure whether you qualify yet, or if your audience isn’t as strong as it could be, now is the perfect time to take action.
Adding and connecting more data sources can make a big difference. Not just for 1PD, but for your overall marketing strategy with Hibu One.
Here’s how to get started:
- Connect your existing data sources: If you haven’t added connections yet (like QuickBooks or email lists), now’s the time.
- Focus on quality and detail: The more complete your data, the more effective your targeting becomes.
- Prioritize email-based connections: Connections that include email addresses are especially powerful for building high-performing ad audiences.
Even if you’re already connected, adding more data is always a smart move.
Better data = better performance
By using 1PD, Hibu experts can send stronger targeting signals to major advertising platforms.
This helps your campaigns:
- Reach more relevant audiences
- Improve engagement and conversion rates
- Perform better over time
From Search to Social to Display, your campaigns become more efficient and more effective—because they’re powered by your real customer data.
Enterprise-level targeting—built for local businesses
Advanced audience targeting used to be something only large enterprises could afford.
Not anymore.
With Hibu One, 1st-party data brings enterprise-level marketing capabilities to small- and medium-sized businesses, helping you compete (and win!) in your local market.
