How To Set KPIs At Campaign Level

1. Create a new campaign (or edit an existing one) from the campaign dashboard.
   Since KPIs are based on the selected objective, XPO will automatically select the first recommended KPI value.

Example 1: If the campaign objective is set to "brand awareness", then the KPI is automatically set to CPM.

Example 2: If the campaign objective is "traffic", then the KPI is automatically set to CTR.

Important Points

• Selecting a KPI value is NOT mandatory and you can create a campaign without setting it. This can be done by clicking on the X (Cross) button in the KPI field.
  
  
• You can select any KPI value from either the Recommended or Non-Recommended list. XPO will recommend to you to select a value from the Recommended KPIs list for better performance.
  
  

  
  
  

• You will need to provide the KPI amount which will then determine the performance of your campaign.
  

  
  For example, if you create a campaign with a Conversion Objective and select KPI value as CPA, you have to enter the KPI amount as USD X.

  If you create a campaign with a Traffic Objective and select KPI value as CTR, you have to enter the KPI amount as X%.
  
  

• The KPI amount is a numeric field where only whole numbers or decimal values up to two places can be entered.
  
  

• While editing a campaign in XPO, you can add/delete and/or change the KPI value and KPI amount. 
  
  

• If you clone the campaign to the same account or to another account, it will be cloned along with the pre-selected KPI value and KPI amount. This can be edited.
  
  

• You can analyze your set KPIs on Partner Dashboard and view the under/over performing campaigns [(Achieved/Expected)*100].
