If we scroll down u what it's showing us is the campaign details basically wherein there is the buying type which is chosen as auction and the campaign objective is basically awareness which we had chosen in the previous tab. Then it is asking us whether we want to click advantage plus campaign budget wherein it would dedicate a certain amount of the ad budget would other adsets within
2:26 this campaign which would likely be in order to increase the volume or otherwise the performance of the ad campaign. Then there is AB test. AB test is basically making two versions and then comparing them both with the ads that which one was more seen or which one had more accuracy. Then if we have any sort of categories amongst the three mentioned here, we can choose them or we can simply click onto the next button. So here what we can see is what is the
3:13 performance goal. The performance goal is maximizing the reach of the ads. We can also choose it as maximizing the number of impressions or maximize ad recall left. The page that is chosen is pro recruit. So here is the frequency control wherein it is telling us that we can either choose target which is the average number of times you people want to see the ads or otherwise there is a gap wherein the maximum number of times you want people to see the ads. So what has been done over here is that there has
3:58 been set a cap for two times frequency means two times in a day for seven days consecutively. If we scroll down, we can also create the rule set on the right side. It is showing us that the audience is relatively broad. So here comes the budget part wherein we can choose the daily budget. Uh it tells us whether which minimum budget we have to set. So here it is telling us that they'll aim to spend an average of rupees 525 and your maximum daily spend
4:47 is 918. That means they are running it two times. So it would be this amount in a day. We can set the schedule whether we want to start it now or we want to start it afterwards. uh we can also select the end date. Then we can also choose our audience.

So the ad would be run everywhere. I can also edit this part and I can choose whether I want to run
6:21 the ad specifically onto any sort of ad creative. So for now I guess the ad is done. I do not want to add anything further into it. If I want to run this ad I can simply click on to publish. But now what we'd be doing is rather than running this ad, I'll be closing this ad. I'll be starting a new campaign again.
7:10 So here the second part is traffic. Uh traffic is basically used wherein I need some people to reach onto a specific destination. It can be my Instagram profile. It can be my Facebook page. It can be my website. If I want to increase the reach otherwise the traffic conversion uh for that purpose I'll be using traffic.

7:56 profile visits, there are calls, then we can see there is one part as engagement. If you want people to be more engaging, send us more messages otherwise view our videos, see our posts or otherwise have some page likes or make some conversions. For that purpose we'll be using engagement.
