Quora also notes that some businesses may see improved results from messaging tailored to male and female audiences. Quora said that during the beta, some advertisers saw conversion rate lifts of up to 40% over campaigns without gender targeting. You’ll find this option located at the ad set-level under Demographic Targeting." "Browser targeting.
