      Using the Campaigns Manager

      View, track, and manage your Campaigns in one convenient location.

      The Campaigns Manager brings together all of the important information about your Campaigns. You can view your Microsites as well as change your Campaign settings. To access the Campaigns Manager, log in to your mySD Account and select "Campaigns" from the navigation menu.

       

      As a reminder, a Campaign includes Keywords, Ads, Customized URL, Microsite, and a Local Tracking Number, all designed to work together to generate quality, exclusive Leads for a specific Service Category in a specific Service Area.

      Filter, Sort, and Search Campaigns

      Filter and Search

      In the Campaigns Manager, you can Filter by Campaign Status (Paused, Enabled, Canceled) and by Service Category. Additionally, you can search Campaigns by keyword to quickly bring up the Campaign or Campaigns you want to view. The sort feature allows you to choose the order in which Campaigns are listed.

       

      By default, you will see all non-Canceled Campaigns across all Service Categories, sorted by the most Leads received in the last 30 days.

      Note: If you log in using a Manager Account, you will have an additional option to filter by Client. This is a multi-select tool that will allow you to display all selected Clients at once.

      dividerAdjust Your Cost Per LeadCost Per Lead Adjustment Instructions

      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 this amount 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, simply click the Edit button next to the Cost Per Lead text in any Campaign Quick View or use the Bulk Edit feature to apply to multiple Campaigns at once.
