1
The commercial problem
Cheap traffic is easy to buy. Most of it never returns, and session counts hide that.
When consideration campaigns are measured by CTR, budget drifts towards placements with accidental clicks.
- The common mistake
- Optimising only for traffic volume
- Buyer journey
- Comparisons, guides and consented nurturing

How the plan decides
The goal sets the measure, the buyer sets the media, and the budget sets how many channels can be tested properly. Channels that cannot run in your market, need assets you lack or cost more than the budget allows are excluded before scoring, and the plan says why.
Primary candidates
Candidates from the reference taxonomy. Each is checked for account, market, format and policy eligibility before launch.
Budget logic
Recommended media budget = target engaged visits x estimated cost per engaged visit. Requires a defined engagement event and a benchmark from history or a disclosed test assumption.

What gets built and run
- Define an engaged visit (time, depth, key page) and optimise towards it instead of raw clicks.
- Exclude low-quality placements and apps that drive accidental clicks.
- Connect consideration audiences to a retargeting or nurture step so the traffic has somewhere to go.
- Report cost per engaged visit and the share that returns within 30 days.
What you will need to provide
- The pages or content you want people to consider
- Analytics access with consent mode in place
- A next step for engaged visitors: newsletter, demo, quote or product page

How success is measured
Primary measure: Relevant product or service evaluation, such as engaged visits after content
- Engaged sessions on key pages
- Cost per engaged visit
- Return visits
- Assisted conversions (labelled as platform-reported)
Platform-reported conversions are kept apart from outcomes your own systems confirm. Where a result can only be modelled, the report labels it as modelled.

Is this relevant to your business?
Probably, if
- buyers research for days or weeks before converting
- you have content or product pages worth reading
- you plan to retarget or nurture the visitors you buy
Probably not, if
- your site cannot load fast on mobile yet
- you have no way to tell an engaged visitor from a bounce
