How to Create and Edit Goals

  • Updated

What are Goals in TapClicks?

Goals help you monitor and stay informed about the progress of your campaigns, allowing you to adjust your strategy if the goals have not been met.

While each ad has specific objectives, all ads generally fit into one of three Goals. That is to inform, persuade or remind customers about your brand or product. While the campaign is active, it is essential to set goals and monitor them throughout the duration of the campaign.

There are multiple metrics available while creating a new Goal. You can select metrics as per your campaign needs. Some examples of common metrics include Clicks, Impressions, Page Likes, Page Views and so on. Every metric has a specific purpose. For example, if you are running a campaign where your aim is to get 10k impressions in 6 months, then rather than waiting until the end for favorable results, it is advisable to create a Goal by using the Impressions metric. Set the benchmark at 900 impressions for the first 15 days. After completing that period, take a look at the results. If your Goal results meet the target, no action is needed. If not, revisit your campaign details and change the campaign strategy. By following this approach, you will always feel like being in control of the campaign. There will not be any surprises after the campaign is over.
