Set a performance target

A performance target forecasts campaign group performance so you know whether you’re on track to meet specific measurable goals. If it looks like you're not on track, you can consider adjusting your campaign settings to improve performance.

For campaign groups, you can click the plus button in the "Performance targets" tab of a campaign group.
