After you’ve created a campaign, you can move on to creating a line item under that campaign.

Basic Details

Schedule and Budget

Start Date: The start date for your campaign.

End Date: The end date for your campaign.

Budget: This will be a daily or lifetime budget, depending on the campaign type chosen.

• Daily Budget is the daily spend amount for a line item using the Maximize Clicks or Maximize Conversions performance goals. The Daily Budget amount will be spent in full every day.
• Lifetime Budget is automatically calculated once the start/end dates and Daily Budget/Daily Cap are set for the line item.
• The Lifetime Budget formula is (line item duration * Daily Budget/Daily Cap)
• Daily Cap is the maximum daily spend limit for a line item using the Achieve CPA performance goal. The Daily Cap will never be exceeded but daily spend may not reach the Daily Cap limit every day.
  • We suggest setting a minimum of 10x the CPA goal.
  • Example: If the CPA goal is $40, then Daily Cap is $400 (10 x $40 CPA)
  • If 0 is inserted, your campaign will not spend.

Adjusting Line Item End Date or Daily Budget:

• Adjusting the line item end date will proportionately impact your Lifetime Budget. This is because the Lifetime Budget formula takes into account the days remaining for your line item flight. 
  • For example, if you extend your line item flight, your Lifetime Budget will increase. If you shorten your line item flight, your Lifetime Budget will decrease.
• There is a similar effect when adjusting your Daily Budget, also due to the Lifetime Budget formula accounting for the days remaining in your line item flight.
  • For example, increasing your Daily Budget will increase your Lifetime Budget. Decreasing your Daily Budget will decrease your Lifetime Budget.
