PPC & Paid Media Monitoring

Paid media monitoring
customized to you

Set your own thresholds for CPA, ROAS, CTR, and budget. Kuma alerts you when your metrics breach your limits. It does not alert you when they hit random benchmarks that don't match your margins.

Generic alerts based on arbitrary benchmarks that don't fit your business

Adjust to the tool's definition of "good" and "bad"

Every account gets the same alert rules, regardless of industry

Ignore alerts until you're numb to them

Manually explain why certain metrics don't apply to your strategy

Result: Alert fatigue & missed signals

Key Capabilities

Monitoring that adapts to your business, not the other way around

User-Defined Guardrails

A $50 CPA might be fantastic for one campaign and bad for another. Standard paid media monitoring tools don't know the difference. You either get flooded with alerts you don't need or miss the ones you do.

Kuma lets you set specific numbers for any KPI. You can set maximum CPA, minimum ROAS, CTR floors, and budget ceilings. This paid media monitoring tool alerts you based on your business context, not generic benchmarks.

Priority Overrides

Monitoring tools ship with "intelligent" defaults. But intelligence requires context they don't have. You end up spending more time dismissing bad alerts than acting on real ones.

Severity Scoring

Every alert scored 0-100 by business impact

PERFORMANCE DROPMETA

CUSTOMMETA

Audience overlap across 3 ad sets - low impact

With Kuma, your rules come first. If you set a CPA threshold of $40, Kuma won't alert you when CPA rises from $25 to $35. Even if that is a 40% increase. Your rule, your priority.

Multi-Window Performance Dashboard

Comparing 7-day performance is great for e-commerce. But for B2B with 90-day sales cycles, it creates noise. You need to see your data across different time horizons to separate real trends from normal fluctuation.

Kuma automatically compares your performance across multiple time windows, 7, 30, and 90 days, so its recommendations are grounded in the right context. You see the full picture in one dashboard.

Objective-Aligned Configuration

A CTR "drop" on a Display campaign doesn't mean the same thing as on Search. Awareness campaigns shouldn't be judged by conversion metrics. But generic tools don't know that.

Low conversions on 'Display — Brand Awareness Q1' — muted (Awareness objective)

No action needed. This campaign targets reach and impressions. Conversion tracking is informational only.

medium

Kuma lets you disable conversion alerts for awareness campaigns. You can emphasize CPA for lead gen or focus on ROAS for e-commerce. It is context-aware paid media monitoring.

Implicit Learning

Business has seasonality, one-off promotions, and experiments. You can't predict every exception in advance. Rigid systems force you to choose between too many alerts or rules that are too loose.
