Best Practices: The Do’s
More Events, More
Results
100 events are ideal from a
data science perspective
and the more events the
better for continuing to
scale and prediction
accuracy.
Realistic
Targets
ROAS targets should be
similar to what has been
observed in previous static
campaigns.
Factor in
LAT
Since we are targeting on
user level, we do not
target/predict LAT users.
This should be factored in
when setting ROAS on iOS.
17. 17
Best Practices: The Don’ts
Low settings
Don’t set Max CPI or daily
caps too low as that will
potentially limit scale
Blacklisting &
Whitelisting
Not recommended to
blacklist or whitelist for
Audience Pinpointer. Since
we are bidding per user,
limiting sources may take
away chances to win
valuable impressions*
*You can
whitelist/blacklist if you
must
Imbalance of ROAS
to CPI for Scale
The higher the ROAS
target, the lower the CPI
which can significantly
reduce scale

How do I get started with Audience Pinpointer?
20. 20
Data needed for Audience Pinpointer campaigns
Retention ROAS
*300 installs per geo,
per platform in the last
30 days
*100 depositors per
geo, per platform in the
last 60 days
*These numbers are ideal
from a date science
perspective, however can
go live with less data.
