First, consider your strategy

Your Campaign Strategy
You need to have a clear understanding of exactly who you are targeting and what your goals are. Determining your target audience is extremely important before launching your campaign. 

Bidding Strategy 
After you know your target audience, you’ll want to evaluate what your goal is and determine which bidding strategy aligns with your goal.
