In the Campaigns Manager, each Campaign has an individual Quick View row where you can see the most important information and settings for that particular Campaign, including:

  • Campaign Name and Campaign Tracking Number
  • Campaign Status and Update Campaign Status link to Pause or Enable your Campaign
  • Leads Received All Time and link to view them in the Lead Manager
  • Leads Received Last 30 Days and link to view them in the Lead Manager
  • Missed Opportunities to indicate how many Leads were available in our system within the Last 7 Days in your Service Category and Service Area.
  • Phone Leads Cost Per Lead and Edit link to increase or decrease your Cost Per Lead
    • Remember that your Campaigns use the Cost Per Lead you're willing to pay for each Lead to compete for Leads in your Service Area.
  • Form Leads Subcategories and Cost Per Lead – allows you to Enable Marketplace Form Leads (in limited Service Categories only) and specify which Service Subcategories you'd like Form Leads in and individually set their Cost Per Lead.
  • Service Area Zip Codes abbreviated list and Edit link to see all zips and make changes
  • Lead Delivery & Notifications Settings and Edit link to see settings and make changes

Note: If you log in using a Manager Account (for users managing multiple companies), you will see an additional label indicating the associated Company Name of each Campaign.

 

SeparatorLineFilter, Sort, and Search Campaigns

 

The top of the Campaigns Manager always displays a Plain-English description of which of your Campaigns you're currently viewing and which Filters are active.

Filter by Campaign Status (Paused, Enabled, Canceled) and by Service Category to limit your view to just the Campaigns that match those criteria.

Search Campaigns by Keyword to quickly find Campaigns matching those search terms.

The Sort feature allows you to choose the order in which Campaigns are listed.

By default, you will see all Enabled and Paused Campaigns across all your Service Categories, sorted by the most Leads received in the last 30 days.

Learn more about Filtering Your Campaigns.

Note: If you log in using a Manager Account (for Users managing multiple companies), you have an additional option to Filter by Client. This is a multi-select tool that will allow you to display Campaigns associated to one or more Clients under your Account.

 

SeparatorLineAdjust Your Cost Per Lead

 

A Campaign's Cost Per Lead (CPL) determines how much you pay for each Billable Lead generated from that Campaign. You determine the CPL for each Campaign.

In general, increasing the CPL results in an increase in Lead Volume, while decreasing will reduce the number of Leads you can expect to receive. A recommended range will be displayed next to the Cost Per Lead field for each Service Category.

To adjust your Cost Per Lead, click the Edit link in the Phone Leads or Forms Leads sections in Campaign Quick View or use the Bulk Edit feature to edit multiple Campaigns at once.

SeparatorLineAdjust Campaign Status
