What's your marketing goal?

Video view ( Focused view optimization) campaigns help you raise consideration for your product/service to the audience who are truly paying attention.


How does video view ( focused view optimization) work?

The Focused View objective will deliver ads to users who are most likely to actively engage with an ad — by viewing it for at least 6 seconds OR by interacting with the video within the first 6 seconds (whichever comes first). This allows us to optimize for two different kinds of engagement:

  • Views: We target users who are most likely to view your ad for at least six seconds.

  • Positive interactions: We target users who are more likely to actively engage with an ad.

Interactions to be considered: like, follow, Share, Click, Hashtag Clicks, Music clicks, Anchor Clicks, and Interactive Add-on Activity Clicks. For more details, refer to All metrics.
