Module 3: Daily Monitoring Routine

Do this every day. It takes 5-10 minutes.

The Daily Checklist

  1. 1 Open your bookmarked campaign view
  2. 2 Check Today's leads and cost per lead for each campaign
  3. 3 Switch to Last 7 Days — is the trend acceptable?
  4. 4 For any concerning campaigns, click Breakdown > Time > Day to see day-by-day performance
  5. 5 Calculate your portfolio average cost per lead (total spend / total leads across all campaigns)
  6. 6 Decide for each campaign: keep running / monitor closely / pause and duplicate
  7. 7 If duplicating: update the date in the campaign name, set start time to 1-2 AM, publish

The Portfolio Approach

Do not evaluate individual campaigns in isolation. Calculate the blended average across all active campaigns:

Total spend / Total leads = Blended CPL
Example:
Campaign A$17/lead
Campaign B$29/lead
Campaign C$15/lead
Blended average$20/lead — acceptable

A low-CPL campaign effectively subsidizes a higher-CPL one. One expensive campaign is not a crisis if the overall average is within your target.
