Rule-Based Optimisation
Rule-Based Optimization enables your campaigns to self-optimize effectively, according to the rules you set. This ensures that your campaigns run well and you spend your money only on the traffic that converts. The feature is only available for users who have set up conversion tracking.
The following article describes how to create rules automatically and manually.
How Does It Work?
The Rule-Based Optimization feature is constructed in a way that resembles standard IF-THEN logical statements, so they are easy to understand. The structure for a rule is as follows:
IF a condition is met FOR the selected criterion WITHIN a given time frame, THEN perform a certain action.
You can create more than one rule. The system will follow each rule in order from the first to the last one.
Automatic Rule Creation
The new look of the Rule-Based Optimization feature allows you to create the 3 most popular rule types with a simple click. In order to do so, perform the following steps:
- In Zeropark, go to the campaign details view.
- In the Rule-Based Optimization section, click the Optimization rule set button.
