Overall Goal & Budget

Set a goal and budget for your campaigns.

Updated over a week ago

The overall goal defines the objective towards which the orchestrated campaigns of the current scope will be optimised. Depending on your individual setup, the scope can be either a geographic market or a specific online store or brand, reflecting a subset of your Google Ads account. You can enter the target as either ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) or CRR (Cost to Revenue Ratio).
