Find the right performance solutions. Which is the correct three-step approach?

• A. Define your campaign's primary marketing goal and potential KPIs; Understand who your target audience is and where they're located; Choose the ideal solution that drives your goals and targets your audience
• B. Increase budget; Expand keywords; Launch new campaigns
• C. Focus on bids; Ignore audience; Wait for results
• D. Remove all extensions; Disable tracking; Run broad campaigns

Answer: (A)

Start by setting clear goals and the metrics you’ll use to measure success. This establishes what you’re aiming to achieve and what you’ll optimize toward. Next, define who you’re trying to reach and where they’re located, so your plan targets the right audience and geographies. Finally, pick the performance solution that will move those defined metrics for that audience, ensuring the plan’s channels, bidding, and messaging align with the goals. This keeps your approach coherent from objective to execution to measurement. Other options jump to tactics or execution without first defining outcomes or understanding the audience, or they remove tracking and targeting, which makes optimization impossible.
