Manual Changes

Make budget and bid target changes to your campaigns across ad platforms

You can make manual adjustments to the budgets of your campaigns or ad sets directly within the Optimizer's Campaigns tab. These changes are treated as one-time interventions, allowing you to fine-tune spending based on immediate market needs or specific campaign knowledge.

  • For Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) campaigns, you can edit the budget at the campaign level.
  • For Ad Set Budget Optimization (ABO) campaigns, you can edit the budget at the ad set level.

Warning: Overriding Automated Recommendations

Making a manual change to a campaign's or ad set's budget will override the automated changes recommended by the Optimizer. This action is recorded as a manual intervention, and the platform will prioritize your manual setting over its own recommendation for that specific item.

Tracking Changes in the Logs Tab

All manual interventions are recorded for full transparency and historical tracking. To review any manual changes you have made, check the Logger tab.
