Campaign Budget Optimization

1. About campaign budget Optimization​

Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) is a feature that allows you to optimize your budget at the campaign level instead of the ad group. This feature will let you apply a single set of budget optimizations to all the ad groups that belong to your campaign rather than setting them up individually. To create a campaign using Campaign Budget Optimization, you will need to set up your campaign within the following parameters:

  • Advertising Objective: Video View, Traffic, Catalog Sales, Lead Generation, Community Interaction, App Promotion, Website Conversions, and Reach
  • Scenarios:
    • Bid Strategy: Maximum Delivery and Cost Cap
    • Budget Mode: Daily Budget and Lifetime Budget
  • Delivery Type: Standard
  • Split Test: Not supported

To enable Campaign Budget Optimization​

  1. Create a new campaign.
  2. Select a supported Advertising Objective.
  3. Turn on the Campaign Budget Optimization toggle.

2. Best practices for campaign budget optimization​

Campaign budget​

  • Set your actual target campaign budget.
  • Make sure your ad group budget covers at least 50* target CPA when running App Install.
  • Ensure your ad group budget covers at least 20* target CPA while running either AEO or Conversions.

Number of ad groups​

  • Ensure at least 3~5 unique and active ad groups per campaign, and 2-3 unique creatives per group.
note

CBO does not function when there is only 1 ad active group in the campaign.

Optimizations​

  • Wait for at least one day and 50 conversions before making new adjustments.
  • When adjusting your budget, try to control each adjustment within 30% of the current daily budget.
note

TikTok Ads Manager requires all ad groups within a CBO campaign to apply the same optimization goal.
