- 0:00How do you set up VK advertising
- 0:01correctly? A huge number of people come
- 0:04with this question. Many even write
- 0:06angry comments in the official
- 0:08VKontakte community, saying that their
- 0:09budget was wasted, and so on. And
- 0:12indeed, VK advertising is a rather
- 0:14complex and turbulent tool right now;
- 0:16one month one setting may work better,
- 0:18and another month a different setting
- 0:20works better. But there is one thing
- 0:24that I have started to notice very
- 0:25often with my clients, the ones I am
- 0:27managing now. It is that you might have
- 0:31perfectly correct settings, meaning the
- 0:33right audience with clear offers and a
- 0:35clear funnel. That is, a person sees
- 0:38the ad itself, it catches their
- 0:40attention, they get engaged, and they
- 0:43have the emotion: "Wow, I want this."
- 0:46After that, they move forward. And it
- 0:48is precisely at the stage of moving
- 0:50forward that something can break. And
- 0:52that is what we will talk about today.
- 0:54So, this will be more of a theoretical
- 0:55video rather than a practical one. But
- 0:57at the same time, what I am about to
- 0:59say will need to be applied in practice
- 1:01so that you can improve your metrics.
- 1:03This changed my approach quite
- 1:05significantly when I started
- 1:07introducing it. Well, with almost every
- 1:09one of my clients. Let's go. And the
- 1:11first thing you need to start with is
- 1:14understanding where we are directing
- 1:16the ads, because the settings will
- 1:18follow from that. The first place we
- 1:20can direct ads to is, as a rule, our
- 1:22VKontakte community. And yet, when we
- 1:24direct people to a VKontakte community,
- 1:26in reality, we have many target actions
- 1:27. The first and most important thing
- 1:29you should try at all is to direct them
- 1:31to a message. So, what is meant by this
- 1:33? When we click on message, the
- 1:35messenger opens, right, and we are met
- 1:37with a welcome message here. And then
- 1:40we can directly start interacting with
- 1:42this community. So, if the welcome
- 1:45message encourages the person to write
- 1:47further, then they enter into a
- 1:48dialogue with us, and we can
- 1:50communicate with them. We can also, for
- 1:53example, direct them to subscribe. But
- 1:56with a subscription, the person just
- 1:57subscribes, right, and there is not
- 1:59much point in that, because it is more
- 2:01effective, of course, to bring the
- 2:03person into some kind of contact with
- 2:04us: like having them leave a phone
- 2:06number or starting a dialogue with us.
- 2:09And here is another approach that
- 2:11allows you to lead a person, for
- 2:13example, into a dialogue with you—
- 2:16that is to lead them to a subscription
- 2:18page. What do I mean by that? Right
- 2:20here, for example, I have a "get a
- 2:21checklist" option. If we open this page
- 2:23, this kind of subscription page
- 2:26appears. If I click "get" here, I will
- 2:29immediately move to a dialogue. That is
- 2:33, a notification will pop up, I'll
- 2:35click allow, and then the dialogue will
- 2:37start with me directly. I also have a
- 2:39subscription page for training on
- 2:41targeted advertising, right? So, here
- 2:43is the information about my course.
- 2:45Find out more. Then the person goes
- 2:47directly into a dialogue, where the bot
- 2:49warms them up. And now let's move to
- 2:51the advertising account, and I will
- 2:53show how it looks in practice. Here is
- 2:55an example from the advertising account
- 2:57. I launched it just recently. Here we
- 3:01already have some ad campaign
- 3:02impressions, you can see several
- 3:04different ones, and here you can see in
- 3:06the names that it's for messages,
- 3:08messages, messages, and I also launched
- 3:10one for Senler. So, let's go a little
- 3:14bit lower. Here is the budget that was
- 3:16spent on a lead form. Look, many have
- 3:18probably already guessed that we will
- 3:21be talking about a target action. That
- 3:24is, when we lead to a message, here,
- 3:26for example, I go into the settings, we
- 3:28have our community here, and I will
- 3:30lead directly to a dialogue with this
- 3:32community. There. So we see a welcome
- 3:35message and then the dialogue follows.
- 3:38And I can also set it up to subscribe
- 3:40to a newsletter. That is, in our case,
- 3:44it will be a subscription, so it is
- 3:46very important to select "subscribe" as
- 3:48the target action here. So we will
- 3:51track specifically the subscriptions to
- 3:53our subscription page. In our case,
- 3:56Senler. The subscription page will look
- 3:59like this. And as soon as a person
- 4:01clicks on it in the ad, they
- 4:03immediately get this notification
- 4:05asking if they want to receive messages
- 4:07. Even if they decline here, they can
- 4:10still read this form and click to find
- 4:12out more about the course and then
- 4:14agree later. So this acts as a kind of
- 4:18warm-up page to get a person into a
- 4:21dialogue. That is, you can get a person
- 4:25into a dialogue using a message setting
- 4:27, or you can also do it using a
- 4:29subscription page directly. And this
- 4:32actually changes everything. Why?
- 4:34Because you can set up advertising for
- 4:36the same audience. For example, we have
- 4:3850,000 of our target audience there.
- 4:40The point is that within this audience,
- 4:43some people prefer sending messages to
- 4:45communities, others subscribe more
- 4:48often, some just leave likes or repost,
- 4:50while others subscribe to mailing lists
- 4:53, which is important, and some might
- 4:55prefer filling out lead forms. But in a
- 4:58lead form, you have to leave your phone
- 5:00number right away, whereas with a
- 5:01mailing list subscription, it is
- 5:03usually requested within the dialogue,
- 5:04where we can actually interact with the
- 5:06person. And this is exactly what I’m
- 5:09getting at: here, for example, I
- 5:11launched a campaign for messages, and
- 5:13we can see a specific cost per target
- 5:15action, right. Meaning one audience has
- 5:19one result, another audience has a
- 5:21different one, but at the same time—
- 5:23and I just launched this yesterday—we
- 5:25are starting to see some actions, some
- 5:27results appearing here. And we’ll be
- 5:30monitoring this. But at the same time,
- 5:31for a lead form, for example, for the
- 5:32same 2,000 rubles. Here there were two
- 5:34messages, here for 1,000 there were
- 5:36messages, right, but there was nothing
- 5:37there. And this shows that it’s good
- 5:40I launched campaigns for messages,
- 5:42subscriptions, and lead forms, because
- 5:44if I had only launched lead forms, we
- 5:45would be sitting at zero right now,
- 5:47hypothetically speaking. This way, you
- 5:50are targeting the same audience with
- 5:52several different target actions. And
- 5:54as a result, this client has already
- 5:56had one purchase worth 50,000 rubles.
- 5:58And here we spent eight. But again, we
- 6:01are just testing things out for now.
- 6:03Let’s move on to another advertising
- 6:04account. And here is another ad account
- 6:07as an example. You can see right away
- 6:10what was for messages. An advertising
- 6:12campaign. This one, I believe, I
- 6:14decided to stop immediately, not even
- 6:16to launch it. And also three
- 6:18advertising campaigns for the mailing
- 6:20list. Why is that? Because when I
- 6:22launched directly for messages, I saw
- 6:24that the target action was performing
- 6:25very poorly. That is, for 135,000
- 6:28impressions, we received only 30 target
- 6:31actions. Plus, they were also quite
- 6:33expensive. But at the same time, here
- 6:36we can see 117 target actions. These
- 6:38are specifically subscriptions to the
- 6:40newsletter. So, people are still
- 6:42entering into a dialogue with us, but
- 6:44here there are over 100 of them, right?
- 6:46So, even if we divide it by two, or say
- 6:492.5, we still see that our target
- 6:51action is significantly, well, just one
- 6:53and a half times cheaper, right, even
- 6:55though the conversion is the same, and
- 6:58the difference lies specifically in the
- 7:00fact that we have different target
- 7:02actions and different settings. This
- 7:05means we are reaching different
- 7:06audiences. So, for example, here you
- 7:09can see the highest click-through rate,
- 7:11also for subscriptions, when we use
- 7:13images. And again, when you create ads
- 7:16with images versus when you create them
- 7:18with video, there might be different
- 7:20settings, right? So, with the video, we
- 7:23even had more impressions, right, and
- 7:25got a few more clicks with those
- 7:26impressions. This is also a very
- 7:28important point, but at the same time,
- 7:30the conversion here is quite
- 7:32significantly higher, right, by one and
- 7:34a half times or even a bit more, yes.
- 7:37That’s why we test photos separately,
- 7:39videos separately, and audiences
- 7:41separately, and also test different
- 7:42target actions. You can try lead forms,
- 7:46you can try messages, you can try
- 7:48subscriptions. Always choose "subscribe
- 7:52" right here when testing, this is very
- 7:55important, and it’s also advisable to
- 7:59choose a cost cap, that is, the maximum
- 8:02you are willing to pay for a specific
- 8:05subscription. And this way, you are
- 8:08telling the ad account that if you
- 8:10don't find, say, for 645 rubles, a
- 8:12subscriber, right—and we always set
- 8:14it at about two to three times higher
- 8:16than the actual average cost we get,
- 8:18right? Why? So that the ad account has
- 8:22some breathing room to hook onto the
- 8:24right audience. And so we set it at 645
- 8:29rubles. It understands, "Oh, great, I
- 8:32will look for them at this price." As a
- 8:34result, it finds them for 200, 300
- 8:36rubles. And this way, it continues to
- 8:39optimize specifically for those people
- 8:41who will start a dialogue with you,
- 8:43that is, for those people who are
- 8:44interested. This is such an important
- 8:47algorithm. We optimize for different
- 8:50target actions, we set a cost cap, but
- 8:52sometimes you can use a minimum bid as
- 8:54well. Look, even like this. If your
- 8:56audience is less than 30,000 people, or
- 8:58less than 50,000 people, then, in
- 9:00general, you can set a minimum bid. If
- 9:03it's larger, be sure to set a cost cap,
- 9:05right, and inflate your price per
- 9:07result by about two to three times so
- 9:09that you have good delivery. This can
- 9:12really help you get higher-quality
- 9:15results. Here is another very important
- 9:18example. Let's say we have an ad
- 9:20running for furniture in a small town.
- 9:24Here I have campaigns for lead forms, I
- 9:26have ad campaigns for messages, and I
- 9:28have them for subscribers. There are
- 9:30different audiences, meaning there are
- 9:32keys—that is, key phrases. There is
- 9:34super-geo. In our case, these are
- 9:36interests, but across the entire city,
- 9:39yes. As a rule, these interests don't
- 9:41work everywhere, but they can still
- 9:44work well in some places. We also have
- 9:48three similar audiences for messages.
- 9:51There is also, by the way, an
- 9:53additional list. What is meant here?
- 9:55This is a scraped audience. That is, I
- 9:57took competitors, took those people who
- 9:59recently subscribed or showed some
- 10:01activity, and scraped them. In some
- 10:04projects, I create an auto-audience
- 10:06that constantly scrapes this audience,
- 10:08uploads it to a list, and this list
- 10:10immediately starts working in the ad
- 10:12cabinet. That is, they start being
- 10:14shown to these people. automatically,
- 10:16promotional posts. And also on Senler.
- 10:19I just launched it recently. And you
- 10:22can already see that, for example,
- 10:24Senler keys aren't working and can be
- 10:25turned off, while, for example, message
- 10:27keys have the best result. That is, at
- 10:30615 rubles each. Well, by "best," I
- 10:32mean there are as many as 11 of them.
- 10:34And what's interesting is that there is
- 10:36a fairly high click-through rate here,
- 10:38almost the maximum, yes, and good
- 10:40conversion. This means this is
- 10:41precisely our target audience that is
- 10:43interested. Well, you can also see it
- 10:45by the list, but our list isn't as
- 10:47click-friendly. That is, most likely,
- 10:50there is a miss with the target
- 10:52audience somewhere, and we need to
- 10:55check if everyone on this list is
- 10:57really our target audience. Yes.
- 11:00Because so far it is coming out quite
- 11:02expensive. But I hope that they will
- 11:03reach the point of purchase. For lead
- 11:06forms, for example, 3,400 rubles on
- 11:08keys. was spent. So that is also a
- 11:11point. I also ran this campaign, yes,
- 11:13so I have different settings there,
- 11:15different videos, collages, and
- 11:17creatives, yes. I won't show what's
- 11:20inside it, but an important point is
- 11:21that I also hoped that the keys would
- 11:23work out, because, well, there are good
- 11:25results here for messages, but not very
- 11:27good for the lead form. On Senler, as
- 11:30it turned out, not either. And imagine
- 11:32if we had launched only the lead form
- 11:33and Senler, and hadn't launched for
- 11:35messages at all, for example. And we
- 11:37wouldn't even know that we could have
- 11:39leads there at 615 rubles. leads, and
- 11:41this would have been the most
- 11:43successful campaign in terms of
- 11:45audience volume, yes. That's why we
- 11:47then focus on dialogues, looking, yes,
- 11:50at how targeted the people coming in
- 11:52are. Well, the point is precisely that
- 11:55this strategy allows us to find the
- 11:58combinations that are most likely to
- 12:00take off. That is, we test video
- 12:03creatives, collages, and photo
- 12:04creatives, yes, and with different
- 12:07target actions. I believe this really
- 12:11allows every project to find its peak
- 12:14point of effectiveness right now.
- 12:18That’s a theoretical, technical task
- 12:21based on real practice. I hope it was
- 12:24useful. If you need setup, you can
- 12:26reach out to me in my Telegram
- 12:28community. I will answer everything and
- 12:30help you with the setup. See you later.
