Performance Campaign Setup
Building a new campaign properly from the start: tracking before traffic, structure that can be read later, and the decision rules agreed before anyone has a stake in the answer.
Aperçu
Most campaign problems are decided before launch. Conversion tracking that fires on the wrong event, a structure that cannot be read once data arrives, and no agreement about what success looks like. By the time these surface, several weeks of budget have produced data nobody can interpret.
Setup is unglamorous and it determines everything afterwards. We do the tracking first, validate it against known values, then build a structure that will still make sense in three months, then agree the decision rules while nobody yet has a favourite.
À qui cela s'adresse
- Companies launching paid media for the first time
- Teams whose campaigns produce numbers nobody trusts
- Businesses starting a new product, market or channel
Notre approche de Performance Campaign Setup
Les travaux précis que couvre une mission type. Le périmètre est convenu d'avance : rien ici ne réapparaîtra plus tard comme une ligne surprise.
Conversion tracking implementation
Events defined, implemented and validated against known values before spend starts. A tag that fires twice is worse than no tag, because it looks like it works.
Account and campaign architecture
A structure built for how you will read the data later, not just for how the media will be bought this month.
Naming and taxonomy
Consistent conventions and UTM parameters so reporting can be assembled without manual reconciliation every month.
Budget and bid strategy
Starting bids and budgets set to get through the learning phase rather than to look cautious. Underfunded launches learn nothing slowly.
Creative and landing page readiness
Enough creative variants to test, and landing pages that match the ads, checked before launch rather than diagnosed after.
Decision rules
What gets scaled, what gets paused, at what thresholds and after how long, written down before launch so nobody is arguing with a hunch.
Du premier échange au résultat mesuré
Toujours la même séquence, pour que vous sachiez ce qui vient ensuite.
Instrument
Implement and validate tracking. Test conversions end to end and confirm the numbers reconcile with your own systems.
Build
Construct the account structure, naming conventions and reporting layer before any budget is committed.
Launch
Go live with enough budget to clear the learning phase, and resist the urge to change everything in week one.
Hand over
Documentation, decision rules and a working session so your team can run it, whether or not we stay involved.
Des résultats, pas des livrables
Un empilement de documents n'est pas un progrès. Voici les changements que le travail doit produire.
Data you can use
Validated tracking means the first month produces findings rather than a debate about whether the numbers are right.
A structure that lasts
Built for reading and for growth, so it does not need rebuilding the first time you add a product line.
Faster learning
Properly funded launches clear the learning phase quickly instead of drifting for a month in low-volume limbo.
Decisions without argument
Rules agreed in advance mean pausing a campaign is a process rather than a negotiation.
Questions fréquentes sur Performance Campaign Setup
Ce qu'on nous demande avant de nous contacter. Si votre question n'y est pas, posez-la nous directement.
How long does a proper campaign setup take?
Two to three weeks before launch for most accounts. The tracking implementation and validation is the bulk of it, and it is the part that gets cut when someone wants to be live by Monday.
Can you set it up and let our team run it?
Yes, and that is a common arrangement. Documentation, naming conventions and decision rules are written for handover, and we can stay on a light review retainer if useful.
Why not just launch and fix things as we go?
Because the first weeks of data are the most valuable and are exactly what broken tracking destroys. Restructuring later also resets the learning, so the shortcut usually costs more time than it saves.
How much budget do we need to start?
Enough to reach roughly fifty conversions a month per campaign, which is the rough threshold for automated bidding to work. That number, worked backwards through your conversion rate and click cost, is the real answer for your business.
