Key differentiator

A game changer, CPA Goal differs from its analog, Target CPA, by a more tailored traffic optimization. 

Instead of entering an ideal payout, you create a rule to automatically cherry-pick the best traffic removing those placements that spend too much. You literally pay less with CPM or CPC pricing while meeting core KPIs.

How to use rules-based ad optimization

Create rules, compelling CPM or CPC traffic to deliver conversions at a desirable price. Use regular expressions to fine-tune traffic checking. Your primary step is to determine the critical spending amount when a placement will be unlinked. Next, you choose between the two optimization parameters:

  • The number of conversions
  • eCPA
