If you change the spending limit to 15,000 baht on September 10, the system will start using the recently changed amount as the default monthly spending limit from that day onward.
This means your spending limits for September is 15,000 baht and for October is another 15,000 baht.
If you wish to adjust your spending limit for October only, please create a new campaign for your ads or adjust the spending limit after you have already entered the month of October.
Note:
- Under certain circumstances, you may be billed for the overbudget amount after the campaign has ended, but it will be subtracted later in your billing.
- In addition, if you change the end date of your campaign to no more than 25 hours from now, charges incurred after the campaign has ended may be included in your billing.

Daily budget
Budget setting
You can set a daily budget for each ad group based on the approximate maximum spending amount per day.
The allowed minimum daily budget may vary depending on campaign objectives and selected bidding amount.
The actual spending amount may exceed the preset daily budget in some cases, and the overbudget amount will be charged.
(Last update: October 19, 2020)
Bidding methods and bidding amounts
You can choose between “Manual bidding” and “Auto-bidding” as your bidding method.
Manual bidding
The operator can manually enter the maximum CPC or CPM.
Auto-bidding
This is a feature that allows the system to automatically adjust bidding amounts to match your campaign and ad delivery objectives.
It is recommended that you use auto-bidding on your LINE Ads.
The available settings depend on the campaign objectives that you have determined.
If you choose the auto-bidding option, the ad group on the admin panel will show a status message that reads “Learning.”
We suggest not making frequent changes while this status still appears so that the system can finish the learning process.
The system starts the learning process to optimize auto-bidding for each ad group, one by one.
It takes around 40 events per ad group until the learning process can be completed.
The number of events has a greater influence on performance improvement than the ad distribution period.
If the number of events required for the learning process is insufficient, the system will retrieve and incorporate the data from other ad accounts within the same group or from other similar ads into the auto-bidding.
(Last updated: October 19, 2020)
When choosing automatic bidding, there are 4 bidding strategies you can set. You can choose the option that matches your objectives.
1. Bid Amount Cap
Control your cost per result. Bidding occurs from the lowest price up to under your specified max cost per result. Best fit when you want to keep a lowest cost per result. However, daily budget may be underspent as we strive mainly for keeping the cost below your specified max cost per result.
Example: Setting a Max CPC of 5 THB per click, your cost per result will be below 5 THB.
2. Event Cost Cap
Maximize results while also can spend your budget. Bidding occurs from the lowest price up to a little above your specified max cost per result. Best fit when you want to control your cost per result while maximizing results and budget spent.
Example: Setting a Max CPC of 5 THB per click, your cost per result may be around 6 THB.
3. Target Event Cost
Keep bidding at your specified cost per result. Bidding does not begin from the lowest price like other strategies, but the closest price to your target, which can be a lower or higher price. Best fit when you have your goal in mind.
Example: Setting a target CPC of 5 THB per click, your cost per result may be around 4.50-5.50 THB.
4. No Limit
Maximize your daily budget without specifying max cost per result. Bidding occurs from the lowest price up to no limit. Best fit for spend-based campaign of highest delivery and budget usage, especially when you have a short campaign period. You don’t have to specify max cost per result like other strategies.
Remark:
- System aims to optimize your campaign according to your chosen bidding strategy, but it is not guaranteed. You may see costs varied from your specified condition during the learning phase, which becomes more stabilize later.

How to insert LINE Tags
To measure ad performance through the LINE Ads, you have to insert LINE Tags on the pages where you want to track conversions.
LINE Tags consist of 3 types of codes: base code, conversion code, and custom event code.
LINE Tags can be obtained from the Admin panel of the LINE Ads by following the steps below:
1. Click on the “Ad Account” tab on the homepage. > Select the account name where you want to track conversions.
2. Click on the “≡” icon in the upper left of the Ad Manager screen. > Go to the “Shared library” menu. > Click “Tracking (LINE Tags).”
3. Check the codes that appear on the screen one by one.
You can insert the base code, custom event code, and conversion code on the advertiser’s website as desired.
Please refer to the followings to see how you can insert each type of code:
- Inserting tags (conversion code)
- Inserting tags (custom event code)
Tracking (LINE Tags) page description
- Status
You can check a tag status from here.
Name: Refers to tag name.
For the event code, the event name set earlier will appear when the tag is triggered.
Status: A tag’s functional status is displayed here.
If the tag is inserted properly, the system will display the status as “Active.”
If the tag remains inactive for 7 days, the status will read “Inactive.”
Last contact: This shows the date and time the tag was last triggered.
- Type of code
Please copy the code that best suits your purpose for use on the website.
- Custom audience
This will lead you to the audience creation page, where you can create an audience for retargeting and a lookalike audience; for example.
LINE Tags can gather audience data that can be of use for other purposes, such as ad retargeting.
- Tracking method
If a third-party cookie is unusable, you may use the first-party cookie or Local Storage instead.
Note:
- If the status still remains Inactive after a LINE Tag has been inserted, this may indicate failed insertion. Please recheck to confirm that the tag was inserted properly.
- Cross-domain tracking that uses first-party cookies requires additional adjustments to the base code. You can find further details here.
(Last updated: October 19, 2020)
Inserting tags (base codes)
Tags are tracking codes that must be installed on desired websites for user measurement. Please find tag installation detail below.
Basic methods of installation
You have to place LINE Tag’s base codes into the website’s header code.
Please insert the base code inside the <head>...</head> tag of the website, or use the tag manager to insert the code.
* Clicking on the “Copy” button on the base code pane will help you to copy the base code correctly.
* Please check the real code in LINE Ads Manager.
Cross-domain tracking
To track conversions across domains with first-party cookies, add-on domain is required to be added for every inserted base code.
Enable “Cross-domain tracking with first-party cookies” and insert your target domain. System will display adjusted base code, in which you can then copy and use for installation.
Example: sharedCookieDomain: 'abc.com' (Please change domain as appropriate for real implementation)
Cross-domain tracking supports different subdomains only; it cannot function on different domains.
Note:
- If the domains are completely different from one another, you will be unable to use cross-domain tracking. However, with third-party cookies in place, conversion tracking can be functioned.
- Even if the add-on code has been added, it will sometimes be unable to track conversions. This may be the result of expired first-party cookies. Please beware of the implementation.
Advanced matching utilization
A function to match first party data including phone number and email address with hashed data via LINE Tag. The data will be sent to LINE to strengthen ad display effectiveness, conversion tracking accuracy, and collected audience.
(Last updated: April 1, 2021)
Inserting tags (conversion codes)
Please insert a conversion code together with the base code as a set on the page that serves as a conversion point.
It is recommended that you insert the conversion code right below the base code; however, if the base code is set to fire first, the conversion code can still track performances normally even though the base code and the conversion code are inserted far apart.
Note:
- The base code must always be set to fire before the conversion code.
- The number of tags that you can insert within the same URL is unlimited, but only 1 LINE Tag base code, generated from the ad account, is allowed within the same URL.
- Entering a line break or an extra blank space by mistake may cause a tag to work improperly; please be careful when copying any codes.
(Last updated: October 19, 2020)
The standard event code is an event defined in LINE Ads and can be used to measure event results, create website traffic audience, and optimize campaign performance. The standard event code must be installed as a set along with the base code.
Standard Event Code:
Setting method:
You can select standard event code types from the ad manager screen.
Example 1: Select "View Product Detail" and copy the code to install on your website.
Example 2: Select “Purchase", copy the code, adjust the code description for price and currency, and install the modified code on your website.
Installation method:
- It is recommended that you insert the custom event code right below the base code; however, if the base code is set to fire first, the custom event code can still track performances normally even though the base code and the custom event code are inserted far apart.
- In addition, you can insert a base code, conversion code, custom event code, standard event code together. If you use all more than 1 code type, please insert a base code only once on each page.
- After installation on website, please check the tag status at "Tracking (LINE Tag)".
Check result:
- Go to Ad Manager, click “Columns” > Click “Choose columns” > Select desired Standard Event result > Click "Apply".
Note:
- The base code must always be set to fire before the Standard Event code.
- The number of tags that you can insert within the same URL is unlimited, but only 1 LINE Tag base code, generated from the ad account, is allowed within the same URL.
- Entering a line break or an extra blank space by mistake may cause a tag to work improperly; please be careful when copying any codes.
- In case of using the name tag name for Stand event code and Custom event code, result will be doubled. It is recommended that if you already install Custom event code with the exact same name to Standard event code, there is no need to edit or remove existing code. The code can be used as Standard event code.
- There is no need to create custom conversions to use standard event codes.
(Last update: December 8, 2022)
Inserting tags (custom event codes)
You can use a custom event code if you wish to create an audience or track ad performances based on events triggered by website visitors on a particular page. Please insert a custom event code together with the base code as a set.
Installation method
It is recommended that you insert the custom event code right below the base code; however, if the base code is set to fire first, the custom event code can still track performances normally even though the base code and the custom event code are inserted far apart.
In addition, you can insert a base code, conversion code, and custom event code together.
If you use all the above 3 codes together, please insert a base code only once on each page.
* Please check the real code in LINE Ads Manager.
Event name “CustomEvent”
The “CustomEvent” part within the custom event code is the name that appears on the Admin panel.
You can set the event name by entering up to 20 alphanumeric characters, without blank space.
Note:
- The number of tags that you can insert within the same URL is unlimited, but only 1 LINE Tag base code, generated from the ad account, is allowed within the same URL.
- Entering a line break or an extra blank space by mistake may cause a tag to work improperly; please be careful when inserting any tags (especially when copying and pasting codes).
(Last updated: April 1, 2021)
Inserting image tags
If it is difficult to insert a JavaScript tag into a page, you can use an image tag instead.
An image tag is placed inside the <noscript> ... </noscript> tag of the base code. Please use only the code of the image tag for tag insertion.
Performance tracking can be achieved by using a custom conversion.
When creating a custom conversion, please specify the URL of the page with the image tag inserted.
* Please be mindful; you cannot use an image tag solely to track performance.
(Last updated: October 19, 2020)
Passing cookies using URL parameters allows measurement across domains with different root domains.
When a user transitions from a landing page to a CV generation page, a 1st Party Cookie is given as a URL parameter to enable measurement across different domains.
Please add the following settings in bold to the base code of LINE Tag.
As is:
_lt('init', {
customerType: 'lap',
sharedCookieDomain: 'abc.com',
tagId: 'tag_id'
});
To be:
_lt('init', {
customerType: 'lap',
sharedCookieDomain: 'abc.com',
tagId: 'tag_id',
autoLink: ['abc.com','xyz.com']
});
*Please enter all of the domains for which you have installed LINE Tags in the autoLink settings.
Remark:
- This function is effective only for page transitions that occur from an anchor tag (a tag). (This function does not work for page transitions generated by JavaScript, etc.)
- This function may not work due to conflicts with other scripts on the page.
- Please check with the page administrator or developer before installing this function, and test it to make sure it functions properly.
- First party cookies must be allowed, so please make sure that [Use first-party cookies and local storage] is enabled.
LINE Tag Helper is an extension of "Chrome Browser". After installed, you can view the LINE Tag status via LINE Tag Helper on your desktop or laptop to:
Check if LINE Tag works normally on the web page.
Record the problems when LINE Tag is running, and store all the records that trigger LINE Tag during the operation of the web page, which can provide web engineers as a reference for troubleshooting.
※ Caution: "LINE Tag Helper" is an inspection tool, so the installation of LINE Tag must be completed before using LINE Tag Helper for post-installation inspection.
How to install LINE Tag Helper
1. Open the Chrome browser window, search for "Chrome Extensions" and click "Chrome Online App Store". Then, search for "LINE Tag Helper" on the upper left corner.
2. Click "Add to Chrome" on the main screen to start installing the extension. Then, click the pop-up "Add Extension" to successfully complete the installation of LINE Tag Helper.
3. Click on the small icon in the "Extended Functions" list in the upper right corner to find LINE Tag Helper. Then, Choose "Fixed" to permanently place the LINE Tag Helper on the browser, making it more convenient for you to use.
(Last updated: February 14, 2023)
How to use LINE Tag Helper
After the installation is complete, you can use LINE Tag Helper to record "web page loads" for LINE Tag Inspection.
1. Open the webpage to check whether LINE Tag is installed correctly. After the webpage is loaded, click at LINE Tag Helper.
※ Caution:
1). Each LINE Ads account has an independent set of LINE Tag. Each set of LINE Tags includes "Base Code" "Conversion Code" “Standard Event Code” and "Custom Event Code" with the same LINE Tag ID under the same ad account, so it is called "one set".
2). If you find more than one set of LINE Tag in the webpage in LINE Tag Helper, it means that there are LINE Tag codes generated by installing different ad accounts in this webpage. You can check which set of LINE Tag the ad account you want to use corresponds to, and confirm whether other sets of LINE Tag need to be removed.
2. Click the inverted triangle icon (▸) and expand the detailed information to view the same set of LINE Tag and their respective triggering situations.
※ Caution: The complete information display can be viewed in order:
"Start Time" indicates when the Tag is triggered.
"Load Time" means the time it takes to finish loading the Tag after the Tag is triggered.
"Location" shows where the Tag is set in the webpage, which may be the head section or body section of the webpage. If you use a third-party code management tool to install LINE Tag, it may display "Third Party".
3. The "light" in front of the tag name, if it shows a "green light", it means that the LINE Tag has been triggered; if it shows a "red light", it means that there is a problem with the installation of the LINE Tag and needs further adjustment; and if it shows a "yellow light", it means that the LINE Tag is not implemented with standard installation.
※ Caution:
The common problem of displaying "red light" may be that the code has not been pasted completely or the code has been changed. Therefore, we recommend that you directly use the "copy" method to copy the entire code to the webpage when installing the code to reduce the chance of error.
Common problems that show a "yellow light" may be that the custom event name is longer than 20 characters or using disallowed characters for the custom event name.
When you need to ask a webpage engineer to help check the installation problem of LINE Tag, you can use the recording function of LINE Tag Helper to fully record the triggering situation of each tracking code during the operation of the webpage as a reference.

What is conversion tracking?
Conversion tracking is a feature that allows you to measure your ad performance by tracking the number of conversions resulting from the actions of website visitors, such as ad clicks on the LINE Ads; this enables you to see how effective your delivered ads actually are.
There are 2 types of conversion tracking: website conversions and app conversions.
Please see the following for more information:
- Tracking website conversions
(Last updated: October 19, 2020)
Tracking website conversions
Website conversions is a measure of conversions on a website.
You have to insert LINE Tags in order to track the conversions of your website.
* Please see how you can insert LINE Tags here.
There are 2 types of website conversion tracking: tracking by conversion codes and tracking by custom conversions.
Tracking by conversion code
You need to insert conversion codes at the conversion point.
* Please see how you can insert conversion codes here.
When users click on ads displayed on the LINE Ads and then enter the website that has inserted conversion codes, the system will trigger LINE Tags to track the number of conversions.
The system will also examine the cookie data to see whether website visitors have clicked on the ad. If users enter the website that has inserted conversion codes after clicking on LINE ads, during the tracking period (30 days for conversion codes), it will be counted as a conversion.
* The results of conversion tracking will be updated in the CV column of the Ad Manager dashboard.
* You can set an attribution period for custom conversions from 1 to 180 days.
* The results may not always be accurate. This depends on device versions and sometimes on the expiration dates of cookie data.
Custom conversion tracking
Custom conversion works effectively for the following purposes:
- Inserting conversion codes somewhere other than the conversion point.
- Tracking conversions based on URLs or custom events.
- Flexibility in attribution period adjustments.
To create custom conversions step by step:
1. Click on the “Ad Account” tab on the homepage. > Select the account name for which you want to create custom conversions.
2. Click on the “≡” icon on the upper left of the Ad Manager page. > Go to “Reports and figures.” > Click “Conversions.”
3. Click “+ New custom conversion” under the Custom Conversions menu. > Fill out each item in the field, and finally, click “Save.”
* The “Last contact” field shows the date and time of when the conversions were last tracked.
* You can set an attribution period from 1 to 180 days.
Specifying URLs:
You may specify single URL or keyword or use the OR/AND rule to add multiple values.
(Broad keywords or URLs using an asterisk (*) wildcard to substitute certain characters in a string, or entering only the first character of the string, is not allowed.)
<Tracking by using conversion rules>
URL_A and URL_ B
- Using the OR rule: Able to track either URL_A or URL_B.
- Using the AND rule: Tracking is unachievable.
(Conversion rule cannot be set as “Track the number of users who visit both URL_A and URL_ B.”)
Keyword_A and keyword_ B
- Using the OR rule: Able to track URLs that contain either keyword_A or keyword_ B.
- Using the AND rule: Able to track URLs that contain both keyword_A and keyword_ B.
Event rules:
The system will display the names of any active event codes on the drop-down list (only when a custom event code has already been inserted).
Please select the event that you want to be counted as a conversion.
* The event rule “Conversion” refers to a conversion code.
Note:

Downloading reports
You can view your ad results by downloading performance reports.
The results of your custom conversions can also be included in this report.
To download a performance report:
1. Click on the “Ad account” tab on the homepage. > Select the ad account from which you want to download the performance report.
2. Click on the “≡” icon in the upper left of the Ad Manager screen. > Go to “Reports and figures.” > Click “Performance report.”
3. Click “+ New report” and then select the desired reporting period, components, report interval, reporting unit, and level. > Click “Create.”
* If you wish to include deleted items in the performance report, please also check the “Include deleted items” checkbox.
* If the report status still shows “Not ready,” please click on the Update button in the upper right of the screen.
* Reports created within the past 1 week will appear on the list.
Report items
* 1. Impressions: Displaying a creative image of 1 pixel or more counts as 1 impression.
* 2. Viewable impressions: An impression is counted as viewable when at least 50% of the ad area is visible with an ad exposure time of at least 1 second for an image ad and 2 seconds for a video ad.
* The number of users counted by the system may differ when reports are created based on different interest categories. This can affect the number of impressions and clicks; the results in the report can differ from those that appear on the Admin panel as well.
* The report may also include users located outside of Thailand when creating the report based on location. Location-based data are processed according to the location where LINE is being used. If the users whose accounts associated with LINE “Thailand” are traveling abroad at the time, the system will then aggregate the data according to the user’s current country (current location). As a result, the names of those countries appear on the report.
* The system updates the “Reporting unit” once per day; the data from the day before will be updated at 8:00 AM (Thailand time) of the following day.
Note:
- Apart from the above report items, you can add additional custom conversion or custom event items to your report in the settings.
- If you create a report based on location, the data connecting with countries other than Thailand may also be included in the report.
The system processes location data collected in LINE accounts. If a user relocates overseas during the time the report has been updated, the user data incorporated in the report will be counted as a foreign account.
- Location view allows you to see the data by specific location down to the district level; however, the system aggregates only consented location data from users, the resulting value of a specific area may consequently be inconsistent with the number in total (updated daily).
- If you create a report based on user interests, the system will not take the diversity of users into account (if 1 user has multiple interests). In consequence, the total result of each category can be discrepant.
- The system will update the data once per day only when you select the “Reporting unit” option.
If you wish to check the data of the current date, you have to view the report after 8:00 AM of the next day.
* You can select 5 items for the “Reporting unit,” which include OS, gender, age, area (location), and interests.

The system will have to start the relearning process because changes in audience targeting and bidding amounts affect the bidding environment.
At the beginning of the relearning process, the system may lower the amount of ad deliveries to prevent a sudden increase in the number of ads delivered.
* Learning means the process where the system is learning and calculating the best bidding amount in order to effectively meet the ad objectives through maximizing conversions or app installs.
(Last updated: June 14, 2019)
When auto-bidding optimization is in the learning process, it means that the system is learning and calculating the best bidding amount in order to effectively reach the ad objectives through maximizing conversions or app installs. For this reason, it is very likely that your ad will be delivered with improved performance after the learning process is completed.
(Last updated: June 14, 2019)
If you want your ad deliveries to produce better results after optimization is completed, we recommend delivering ads by targeting a broad audience to expand your ad reach.
In addition, if you do not want an ad to be visible to a certain audience, you can modify the audience configuration in the settings; this will not make any difference in the automatic optimization.
(Last updated: June 14, 2019)
Changing the placement of a conversion code can affect optimization because the existing automatic optimization is still proceeding with the calculation using old conversion data. After the code placement has been changed, the system will start a relearning process by collecting a new set of data.
To avoid such circumstances, we recommend creating a new ad group altogether and then configuring the settings to automatically optimize conversions.
(Last updated: June 14, 2019)
When you change the bidding amount configuration of the ad group that is on display from manual to automatic, the system will use the obtained past performance data to optimize the bidding.
Moreover, if you change to auto-bidding with broad audience targeting after you have already bid for ads manually with specifically set targeting for the same ad group, optimization may have to rely on the past performance data until the new learning process is complete.
If it is determined that the ad group does have enough past performance data (insufficient number of clicks or conversions) or that the obtained performance data is deficient (the obtained data is not suitable to use in the learning process for auto-bidding optimization), the system needs to start a relearning process. In this instance, however, the relearning takes nearly the same amount of time as when creating a new ad group.

You can check the auction insights in the ad group level and take further adjustment in order to increase your advertisement display opportunity.
Calculation: 100% of total number of ad display opportunity = Impression share + Lost impression share (by budget) + Lost impression share (by rank)
1. Impression share
The percentage of impressions actually displayed out of the total number of ad display opportunities.
2. Lost impression share (by budget)
The percentage of the total number of ad display opportunities that ads could not displayed due to lack of budget.
Action to take: When high lost impression share (by budget) occurs, it is recommended to increase daily budget to improve display opportunity.
3. Lost impression share (by rank)
This is the percentage of the total number of ad display opportunities that ads could not displayed because the ad rank was low and the auction competition was lost.
Rank is a ranking list of ads* that are candidates for distribution among the impressions that can be distributed. Ranks consist of bids and ad predictions such as CTR and conversion rates.
* If there are multiple ads in the ad group, one ad with the highest rank will be selected and compete with the ads of other candidates.
Action to take: When high lost impression share (by rank) occurs, it is recommended to increase bidding and improve creatives’ CTR and CVR to win the auction.

· It will be displayed in the ad manager and will not be reflected in the download report.
