Performance+ asks automatic bidding to learn before many campaigns have enough signal.
Low entry budgets make experimentation accessible, while adequate event volume makes automatic bidding dependable.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I started at a test budget, then spent a week guessing whether the campaign needed more time or more money.”
Laura Vazquez · Paid Media Manager
Sets first budgets and ROAS goals for a direct-to-consumer retailer using Performance+.
What is at stake
Thirty-eight percent of new Performance+ campaigns start below 10 weekly optimization events and often pause before week two. You must weigh a useful early budget recommendation against overclaiming what historical delivery can predict for a new campaign.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- low test budgets vs. sufficient learning signal
- helpful guidance vs. false certainty
- offline calibration vs. live customer behavior
- setup simplicity vs. informed budgeting
Why Pinterest
Performance+ unifies bidding for advertisers who increasingly need measurable outcomes from early campaign spend.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
