Daily Budget and CPM: pacing without burning budget
Rules that separate a controlled test from “balance gone by evening”.
Test formula
Daily cap ≈ 10–20% of test media until CPF/CPL is proven. Example: $500 media → ~$50–$100/day.
When to raise CPM
- Impressions stall in a live GEO auction.
- Creative is approved and CTR is not zero.
- Raise gradually (not ×3 at once).
Entry — min budget. Country bids — CPM index.
FAQ: frequently asked questions
Daily Budget for a test?
Often 10–20% of the test media per day to gather 3–5 days of stats.
When to raise CPM?
When impressions stall despite a live GEO auction — not only because CTR is low.
What to cut first?
Weak Channels/creatives on CPF/CPL, not the whole GEO.
Run without Daily Budget?
You risk burning the deposit; caps are mandatory for tests.
