How To Set Campaign Goals

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

Updated over 11 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.
