Cool! Ad Tracking time massively reduced…
Automate optimizations and improve workflow efficiencies through rule-based actions.
Monitor ads in real time, pause ads based on defined performance metrics, adjust budgets by time of day, and increase bids on ads with high return.
Increase Efficiency by Minimizing Repetitive Tasks With Automation
Marketers often monitor the same performance metrics daily and make changes based on a corresponding goal. With Automated Actions in Kenshoo Social, you can schedule those changes to occur at specific times of the day and on specific days instead of pulling that data each day, or multiple times a day. The workflow for creating these automated actions is integrated with the social analysis grid so that you can drill in and filter the data and easily schedule optimizations to be made. This will free up time so that you can spend less time on tactical changes and focus on strategic initiatives.
Best Practice:
We recommend refreshing your ads approximately once every two weeks. Distribution of ads on Facebook is determined by a number of factors including bid, marketplace competition, target audience, and ad performance history. When ads run for an extended period of time, it's typical for performance to decline and, in turn, for Facebook to reduce the ad's distribution. Set reminder notifications for ads that have been running for a set period of time.
As a Facebook advertiser, you have experienced ad fatigue & diminishing returns. Maybe on your last campaign you identified the best target audience, found a product that exactly matches their needs, designed a stunning ad, and launched the campaign – the first day’s performance resulted in ad engagement and CPIs beyond your wildest expectations. But, a few days later, the click-through rates declined and CPIs increased. Your return on investment is declining.
The current market tools that support manual optimization or rules-based optimization are not sophisticated enough to keep up with the dynamics of Social Advertising and drive desired performance. Kenshoo’s optimization approach is similar to how you would want to manage your Stock Portfolio. What matters most is the overall return on your investment. We know that there will be winners and losers in your portfolio, the magic behind portfolio optimization is riding the wave of the winners and reducing your investment on the losers. But identifying the winners and losers in time to make the right decisions is not always humanly possible - the reality is that very few of us become rich by being Day Traders.
With Kenshoo’s Social Portfolio Optimizer, our algorithms are designed to go beyond making decisions on current campaign performance. Kenshoo is studying performance hourly and predicting the value for the next dollar of investment - Marginal ROI. Our optimization is executing the bid and budget adjustments based on Marginal ROI in order to achieve the desired Portfolio performance.

Kenshoo Intent-Driven Audiences was co-developed by Kenshoo and Facebook to enable intent-based advertising on Facebook through a process of matching clicks on search engine ads to audiences on Facebook.
It works in the following manner:
A consumer conducts a search on Google, Yahoo, Bing or any other major search engine and clicks on an ad managed by Kenshoo
Upon click, Kenshoo and Facebook attempt an anonymous cookie match.
If matched, the consumer is placed into a Facebook Custom Audience based on the structure defined by the advertiser in Kenshoo, down to the keyword level, or based on performance metrics.
Kenshoo IDA-based Custom Audiences are built and updated with new consumers in real-time.
Likewise, IDA-based Custom Audiences are kept fresh by removing consumers after a designated period of time if they cannot be matched to the same Custom Audience, i.e., the consumer has not clicked on a search ad connected to the keywords or campaigns associated with the Custom Audience within a certain time frame.
Currently, the default removal is after 30 days, but this can be customized by the advertiser
Once Custom Audiences are created, the advertiser can further refine the Facebook ad program using all the additional Facebook targeting capabilities available to use with Custom Audiences, including demographics, interests and behaviors, as well as Lookalike Audiences.
Leveraging the Intent Signal to Refine Your Total Addressable Audience on Facebook
Marketers should take advantage of all targeting options within Facebook to meet their goals and objectives
Facebook offers the largest reach of any media channel with its 1.2B users, and offers advertisers numerous options to refine their audiences into more granularly focused segments.
The most elemental level of audience targeting is based on Facebook’s native targeting capabilities. These are the targeting options available based on the information people have given and the actions they’ve taken on Facebook. This is information like “female, age 35, lives in California, and likes hiking.” Let’s call this “Facebook Native Targeting. Advertisers can use Facebook’s Native Targeting to refine Facebook’s 1.2B users down to what we call the advertiser’s “Total Addressable Audience” on Facebook.
While the advertiser’s Total Addressable Audience is much more refined than the total FB population, it is generally a very large and widely varied audience with different interests and purchase intent. In this way, it provides a relatively low signal of intent.
Within this audience is a subset that can be further refined through ‘online behavioral targeting” information based on the actions consumers have taken on other sites and apps that use the Facebook pixel and SDK. This information enables advertisers to use Facebook targeting to leverage a stronger intent signal.
Within this audience is an even more refine audience based on those who have visited the advertiser’s website and used its mobile apps. This audience can be targeted through Website Custom Audiences (WCA) and FBX and offers a relatively high signal of intent.
Using Kenshoo IDA, we can refine this last audience even further to target using the intent people demonstrate through their search engine activity and by clicking on the advertiser’s search ads. This is the strongest signal of intent that we know of in digital marketing.
But while Kenshoo IDA provides the strongest signal of intent, by definition, it’s comprised of a smaller subset of the advertiser’s Total Addressable Audience on Facebook. This is why it is important for advertisers to test and leverage the various targeting options available to them to meet their business objectives.
Essentially, advertisers must balance intent with reach.
A Leading Mortgage Company with a strong search program successfully scaled its Facebook efforts and
increased its monthly investment by over 60% , after realizing encouraging results from retargeting users driven to its site by search and display.
An American Department Store , ran two tests to demonstrate the effectiveness of leveraging
audience insights across channels, generating staggering results: 67% decrease in cost per acquisition , 400% lift in conversion rates when users searched for the brand, and 545% increase in conversion rate for branded Intent Driven Audiences.
Automatically create Facebook dynamic product ads out of top performing Google Shopping Campaign (GSC) products.
Product sets are updated daily based on performance criteria in a set timeframe, automatically expiring ads not meeting the criteria.
With Performance Driven Ads, connect Google Shopping Campaigns to create Facebook and Instagram Product Ads in minutes. If advertisers have the Kenshoo Pixel in place and their GSC feed setup, creating ads on Facebook and Instagram representing the best performing products on Search (by category or brand) couldn’t be easier. After determining the performance metrics for choosing which ads to show or not show, use the same great creation flow for choosing the ad type (we recommend carousel ads), creative and audience targeting.
