The Suggest Tool can be accessed within the Advertiser Manage module.

 

The Suggest Tool enables advertisers to quickly optimize bidding strategies to achieve two distinct campaign goals:

  1. Target CPA
  2. Target Volume

 

1 Optimize for Campaign Performance

  • Quickly adjust your bidding strategy to meet a specific CPA (cost per action) performance target. Suggest Tool CPA targeting can be driven off of any MediaAlpha pixels placed by the advertiser, or performance data imported in MediaAlpha for Advertisers.

  • To utilize the tool, advertisers simply select which action optimization and define the target CPA for that action.

  • The advertiser can elect to optimize bids to the selected CPA for each ad group, or for the campaign as a whole.

  • The Suggest Tool will then deliver bid suggestions to achieve the CPA target.

  • With a simple click of a button to accept the suggestions, the platform will automatically update bids for all selected ad groups.

 

2 Optimize for Volume
