Google Ads introduced a new tCPA (target Cost Per Action) Insight Box for Demand Gen campaigns, following a similar feature for Performance Max and Standard Shopping campaigns.
Why it matters: This new feature can help you quickly assess advertising campaign performance and make data-driven decisions to optimize your ad spend.
Key features:
- Shows if Actual CPA is within the expected range.
- Displays weekly CPA averages with projected conversions.
- Calculates typical variation based on historical campaign data.
- Indicates whether the target is within typical variation.
- Aims to keep overall cost per conversion equal to set target CPA.
