Use Value-Based Optimization to drive higher ROAS

Unlike normal web conversion ads advertisers can only optimize towards Complete Payment events, VBO web will not just look for people who are more likely to take a purchase action, but also with higher value per purchase by either buying multiple products in one go or buying products with higher price points.

By directly optimizing for value, VBO web will be more likely to bring higher Return on Ad Spend to advertisers.

Value-Based Optimization (Quantity+Quality)

TikTok ads delivery system will look for users who are more likely to convert and with higher purchase

value.

Conversion Optimization (Quantity)

TikTok ads delivery system will look for users who are more likely to convert, value per purchase is not taken into account.

Weighing volume of conversions against CPA

Despite noting higher CPA, the overall conversion volume is significantly more.

Worth evaluating and balancing between cost effectiveness and volume of conversions. It would require a compromise on CPA to drive higher volume count which in this case, is a better measurement of success.
