How To Set Campaign Goals

Campaign goals make it clear what you're trying to accomplish.

Updated over 9 months ago

Set campaign goals by navigating to the campaigns tab and selecting any campaign.


Click on the "activity" pull-down menu in the top right-hand corner of the app. Select "Goal".


This is where you will set your campaign goal.

  • Reach: This will optimize towards getting your brand in front of as many different devices as possible.

  • CPC (Cost Per Click): This will optimize towards the lowest Cost per Click possible.

    Benchmark: For most industries, $1.50 is a good place to start.

    Equation: CPC = $ Spent/# of Clicks

  • CTR (Click-Through Rate): This will optimize towards the inventory that drives the highest percentage of clicks with respect to the number of impressions.

    Benchmark: The industry standard CTR for programmatic advertising is 0.106%.

    Equation: CTR = # of Clicks/# of Impressions Served

  • CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): This will optimize towards the inventory that drives the most conversions for your spent amount.


    Benchmark: Your cost-per-acquisition (CPA) goals will depend on your industry and business model. One strategy we recommend is to take 1/3rd of your average order value (AOV).


    Equation: CPA = $ Spent / # of Conversions


    *Note: This goal requires a conversion pixel to be set on the desired clickable action to calculate properly.


Once you have set your desired Goal, click the Save Changes button at the bottom right-hand corner of the section to lock in your selection.
