Campaign with a Conversions (CPA goal) optimisation goal allows you to target users similar to those who have already made acquisitions on your website - that could be everything from buying one of your products to signing up for a newsletter. Our AI will search for the audience most likely to convert - at the lowest price possible.

Setting the right CPA goal might feel more complicated in the first place, but once you find more details on your clients' habits, you'll be able to predict the correct value easily. General guidance is to determine the goal value based on the margin.
