Smart CPM: Setting Smart CPM for a campaign

Creating campaign

Navigate to the OnClickA’s dashboard → Click Create campaign.

Why set price higher than the recommended

Max price. You can set the max price higher than the recommended one. Since this is the price ceiling, you’ll get traffic without exceeding your budget limit.

Smart bidding with Max price automatically adapts to auction dynamics. It can help your campaign get traffic when prices exceed the recommended rate. It optimizes the budget when prices decrease.

Setting the maximum price

Enter your maximum price in the Max price field:
