Phase 1 TikTok ads testing strategy 2023 | How to analyze your TikTok conversion campaign

Introduction

Assalamu Alaikum everyone! I hope you are all doing well. In our last video, we discussed Phase Zero, where we learned how to warm up a broad audience and conduct creative testing. In today's article, we will analyze our campaign and transition to Phase 1. We will focus on designing the campaign effectively to optimize results.

Campaign Analysis and Creative Testing

To begin, we need to open our TikTok ad account and select a campaign for analysis. For this example, let’s examine a campaign where we tested different creatives to determine which one performs the best. Our objective is to identify the top-performing creative among the options that were tested.

Analyzing Ad Performance

When analyzing ad performance, we look at various metrics such as:

  • Total Cost
  • Impressions
  • CPC (Cost Per Click)
  • CTR (Click Through Rate)

To add these metrics, click on the default column in your ad account and select the option for custom columns. This allows us to include additional performance metrics such as the percentage of users who viewed 50%, 70%, or 100% of the video.

Next, we focus on conversions by setting up events on our website to track actions such as:

  • Viewing content
  • Adding items to the cart
  • Completing purchases

By analyzing these metrics, we can determine the overall cost and performance of each creative. For instance, if we see a creative that generated a high CTR and low CPC, it indicates that it is performing well in engaging the audience.

Optimizing for Phase 1

Once we have analyzed the creatives in Phase Zero, we will duplicate the top-performing campaign and prepare for Phase 1. This involves adjusting our creative strategy based on our findings. Here’s how we can design the new campaign:

  1. Campaign Setup: Duplicate the successful campaign and rename it for Phase 1 targeting.
  2. Target Audiences: Utilize the successful creatives with a specific focus on gender targeting (male and female). Create two ad groups to see which demographic attracts more buyers.
  3. Ad Group Setup: Keep the targeting settings broad without specific interests initially, focusing on demographic factors. Choose a budget and set appropriate campaign timings.

Launching and Monitoring the Campaign

Within each ad group, ensure the creative that yielded the best results is being used. After launching the campaign, monitor the performance closely. If one ad set shows significantly better results, focus your efforts on that, possibly turning off the underperforming one.

In cases where both ad sets perform well, it is advisable to continue running them simultaneously. However, if neither ad set is generating favorable results, consider adjusting the copywriting or creative aspects to enhance the campaign's effectiveness.

Conclusion

In summary, optimizing your TikTok ad campaigns through strategic analysis and targeted creative use can lead to better conversion rates. Monitoring and adjustment will be key as you move through the advertising phases.
