About Placement Split Testing for your upgraded Smart+ experience

Last updated: January 2026

Placement Split Test is a feature that allows you to test between auto-selected placements (TikTok, Pangle) and manually chosen placements to determine optimal ad delivery locations. By default, the campaign will be selected for auto-placement, but you can choose manual or auto. The system will generate an auto-placement version from your manual placement ad group or campaign for A/B testing. We encourage you to test auto-placement versus manual or any other placement setting variations.

Availability

Placement Split Test is available for the following campaign types:

  • App Promotion

  • Lead Generation

  • Sales (Web catalog & Non-catalog/app/omni)


Benefits

  • Campaign efficiency: Determine if a particular placement leads to a lower cost per click (CPC), cost per impression (CPM), or cost per acquisition (CPA).

  • Revenue impact: For sales-driven campaigns, split tests provide direct insights into which variables lead to higher conversion rates and ultimately, increased return on ad spend (ROAS).

  • Opportunity identification: Access valuable insights into user behavior, market trends, or unexpected interactions between variables. This can lead to new hypotheses for future testing and optimization.

  • Informed scaling decisions: With clear data on winning variations, you can scale successful strategies, allocate budget more effectively, and avoid wasting spend on underperforming campaigns.
