2. Understand your ad budget and cost per click (CPC): Plan your costs effectively

Your ads run on a cost-per-click (CPC) model.

The cost per click (CPC) depends on various factors, such as the category, competition, and past performance. Understanding how CPC works will help you use your budget effectively and strategically:

• Each category has its own CPC.
• If you choose multiple categories, your final cost per click is calculated as the average of the CPCs for those categories.
• You’re only charged for clicks from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. International clicks appear in your dashboard but won’t cost you anything.
• Billing takes place monthly at the beginning of the following month.

Monthly budget limit: You don’t need to set a limit when you get started. If you want to cap your spending, we can set a monthly budget for you at any time. Once you reach it, your campaigns pause automatically and restart at the beginning of the next month. You won’t be charged more than the agreed budget.

3. Set up your campaign: Configure it for the best results

To manage your campaign effectively, you’ll need to make the following decision:

• Choose categories:
  Select the categories in which you want your product to be promoted.

Your selection determines where your ads appear on OMR Reviews and which users they reach. Your OMR Reviews contact can provide an overview of all available placement options. You can also find more information and contact details here.

Ads are then served dynamically based on category and article, so there’s no fixed list of individual URLs where your ads will run permanently.

4. Order or commission your ad creative: Get your ads designed the right way

You can provide your own banners, have OMR Reviews create the design, or commission the work externally through our partner adfriends. The following options are available:

1. Provide your own banner design

5. Make sure tracking and measurement are in place: Keep an eye on your campaign performance

To reliably measure the success of your campaign, you’ll need to complete the following technical steps:

1. Add landing pages:
   Enter the relevant landing page for each selected category or article. This is where users will be sent when they click your ad.
2. Set up UTM parameters:
   Add UTM parameters directly to your landing page URLs, or send us general UTMs to use when evaluating your campaign. You can use utm_source, utm_medium, utm_content, and utm_term.
3. Confirm your email address:
   Confirm your email address using the confirmation email from OMR Reviews to get access to your PPC dashboard.
