The problem — and how this kit solves it.
The Problem
Demand Gen campaigns span YouTube, Discover, and Gmail — three surfaces with different user behaviors and performance patterns. Optimizing across all three manually requires monitoring audience performance, creative engagement, and conversion data separately for each surface.
The Solution
The agent runs every 6 hours, evaluating Demand Gen campaign performance across all three surfaces against a $20 CPA target over a 7-day window. It adjusts budgets, CPA targets, device bid modifiers, and ad group CPCs. Cross-channel analysis identifies which surface delivers the best CPA and where budget should shift.
The Outcome
Maintain CPA below $20 across YouTube, Discover, and Gmail by optimizing audience targeting and creative performance every 6 hours.
