It makes sense to create a campaign that optimizes for post engagement because you know that posts that get liked and shared a lot get you a lot of visits to your site and, eventually, sales. But it's important to remember that there are 3 elements to a campaign: campaign objective, optimization goal, and billing event. Learn more about these elements here
AdEspresso chooses your campaign objective for you, based on the type of campaign you create, whether you enable tracking in step 2, and what you choose to optimize for in step 4 during campaign creation.
