Overview
Targeting presets help reduce time spent on manual processes during trafficking by pre-populating fields in the Overview tab of Campaigns and Line Items. This feature is particularly useful for filling out targeting settings that need to be consistent across multiple line items, streamlining the process and increasing efficiency. |
Some examples of when Targeting Presets can be useful include:
- Targeting specific regions within England rather than the entire United Kingdom.
- Targeting U.S. states where cannabis is legal, instead of targeting the entire country.
- Targeting a set of pre-bid segments to prevent fraud.
With Targeting Preset workflows, users can:
- Create new Targeting Presets from scratch or by copying an existing Line Item's targeting settings.
- Set a Targeting Preset as the default, so new Line Items will automatically use the preset's values.
- Apply a Targeting Preset to Line Item targeting.
How it Works
Create a Targeting Preset from Scratch
- Navigate to Trafficking > Presets.
- Enter a name for the Targeting Preset and choose whether it should be Account Level or Advertiser-specific.
- Select the desired targeting settings.
- Click Save.
Create a Targeting Preset from Existing Targeting
- Go to the line item targeting's Summary tab.
- Click Save as Targeting Preset.
- Enter a name for the Targeting Preset and choose whether it should be Account Level or Advertiser-specific.
- Click Save.
Setting Default Targeting Presets
Targeting presets can be set as default at either the advertiser or campaign level. When a default is configured for both levels, new line items will automatically have the targeting populated with the campaign-level targeting preset default. It is important to note that only Account-Level and Advertiser-specific Targeting Presets will be available for selection as defaults.
To set a default Targeting Preset for an Advertiser:
- Navigate to the Advertiser settings and configure the default preset for that advertiser.
To set a default Targeting Preset for a Campaign:
- Navigate to a Campaign > General > Essential Settings.
- Select a default Targeting Preset from the dropdown menu.
Applying a Targeting Preset to Line Item Targeting
To apply a Targeting Preset to Line Item targeting, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Line Item > Targeting tab.
- Click Select Targeting Preset in the upper-right corner. Any pre-created targeting presets for the account will be available for selection.
If there is no existing targeting (i.e., during new Line Item creation), the available Targeting Presets will be the only options to choose from.
However, if there is existing targeting, two options will be available:
- Add to Existing: Merges the selected Targeting Preset with the current targeting parameters. If there are conflicts, the user will need to resolve them by choosing the parameters to keep.
- Replace All Values: Deletes the existing targeting parameters and replaces them with those from the selected Targeting Preset.
In the Add to Existing option, if there are conflicting targeting parameters, hovering over the conflicting parameters will change their highlight from red to grey, and a checkmark will appear to indicate which parameter will be retained once the conflict is resolved and the Targeting Preset is successfully merged.
