According to TikTok, \u003Cstrong>VBO Web helps advertisers find high-quality audiences\u003C\u002Fstrong> by targeting users who are more likely to make a purchase, and with a higher value per purchase, either by purchasing multiple products or buying products with higher price points. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There are two bidding strategies available with VBO Web: Highest Value and Minimum ROAS. If you opt for Highest Value, the TikTok ads system will spend your total budget and bid for the highest possible purchase value, whereas Minimum ROAS will aim to meet your target ROAS bid. If you have strict KPI’s, Minimum ROAS may be more suited for your paid social strategy due to providing a greater level of control over purchase amounts and ROAS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Unlike alternative conversion ads, advertisers using VBO Web can only optimise towards complete payment events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-this-mean-for-me\">\u003Cstrong>What Does This Mean for Me?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A key update  for ecommerce advertisers, TikTok’s latest feature aims to maximise the value of conversions, as opposed to just increasing the number of conversions generated. By employing VBO Web to your campaign, you may be able to \u003Cstrong>deliver a higher ROAS from paid social activity\u003C\u002Fstrong> by generating higher conversion values from your campaign budget. If you have ambitious targets, it may be worthwhile experimenting with VBO Web for your next campaign. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, the new feature may not be suitable if you have a small account with restricted budgets. In order to calculate your daily budget, TikTok recommends multiplying your historical account CPA by 10, which is a high investment amount. Moreover, to unlock VBO Web, your account must have delivered 20 unique purchase conversions over the last 7 days. Therefore, if your account generates conversions over a longer window, the feature won’t be available for you. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Ready to trial TikTok’s latest feature? Just ensure that your account meets these requirements, and that your pixel is set up correctly and tracking the ‘complete payment’ event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"meta-renames-its-ad-automation-tools\">\u003Cstrong>Meta Renames its Ad Automation Tools\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail is-resized\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2021\u002F10\u002FvG9r34mr-amberlight.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11706\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In order to better identify its automation tools, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Fbusiness\u002Fnews\u002Fmeta-advantage-automation-ad-suite-performance#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u003Cstrong>Meta has renamed its automation features\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fa> and consolidated them under a new portfolio labelled ‘Meta Advantage’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Under the ‘Advantage’ umbrella, Meta’s automated products have been split into two product lines – \u003Cstrong>Advantage and Advantage+\u003C\u002Fstrong>.
