Can a daily target be exceeded?
Microsoft describes a daily budget as a target. Individual days can land above or below it while Microsoft calculates the campaign limit over the month. Many bidding options charge on clicks. Check the selected campaign and billing setup before treating a target as the amount you can spend on one day.
What tells you whether an ad click led to a useful action?
Pick a goal such as a completed demo request. Microsoft’s Universal Event Tracking tag can send website actions to Microsoft for conversion tracking. Confirm what the tag sends and which action the goal counts before using its report. Keep your app’s completed requests as a separate source.
What should you keep when someone else takes over?
Keep the budget, date range, campaign owner, goal definition and destination. Download a performance or goal report with the columns you need. A report describes what the account counted. It does not replace permission to manage the campaign.
Is the fictional daily target an acceptable stop rule?
Draw a search campaign for a fictional workshop with a daily target of US$20 and a five-day review date. Do not open an ad account or set a campaign live.
