Save time
Creating and maintaining a high performing campaign can be time consuming. Using smart targeting can help you save time while reaching your advertising goals. Unlike campaigns using manual targeting, with smart targeting there’s no need to spend time selecting ad groups, keywords, and bids. This new targeting type helps you reach the right buyers at the right time.
Boost visibility
Advanced campaigns can help sellers reach more buyers and boost holiday sales by giving priority access to placements across eBay with advanced campaign management options like targeting and budget controls. With smart targeting, your ads can appear across eBay in search results and relevant listings pages, helping to increase exposure and drive more sales. Act now and take advantage of eBay’s Promoted Listings Advanced campaigns to give your listings the higher visibility they deserve during the peak season!
Campaigns will auto-update for you
Smart targeting is ideal for new and experienced sellers who want a simplified set up and campaigns that automatically update. These campaigns are set up to optimise ad campaign settings to keep you competitive during peak moments and trends.
Ads are shown to buyers based on a combination of bid amount and relevancy. The more competitive the bid, the more likely your ad will appear in an eligible ad slot. Relevancy is determined by a number of factors, including the search query, page content, past performance, and marketplace trends.
Leverage manual Promoted Listings campaigns
If you’re looking for greater control over your campaigns, manual targeting offers hands-on campaign creation and management. This is an ideal campaign type if you have specific keywords you want your listing to appear for. You’ll manage ongoing optimisations to ensure your campaigns remain competitive.
Seller Tip: Use the search query report from your campaigns with smart targeting to discover new keyword strategies that can help you enhance the performance of your campaigns with manual targeting.
It is important to note that your campaign targeting type cannot be changed after your campaign is launched.
