Use Update cost to match past campaign spending to your bill. The correction replaces Cost for the selected period and updates metrics such as Profit, ROI, CPC, and CPA. It does not change future traffic costs or the traffic source’s bill.

​
Apply yesterday’s bill

Choose completed days within the last 30 days. Restore an archived campaign first. For a positive correction, each selected day needs recorded visits.
  1. Open Campaigns, select the campaign, and click Update cost.
  2. Choose Update cost in the dialog.
  3. Select yesterday in the timezone used for your bill.
  4. Choose Total spend and enter the amount in USD, such as 60.
  5. Check the campaign and date, then confirm.
  6. When the update finishes, refresh the campaign report for the same period and timezone.
Cost should match the entered amount, subject to rounding. For several campaigns, set each campaign’s mode and amount separately.

​
Choose an amount you can justify

Suppose a campaign has USD 200 revenue, USD 40 visit cost, and USD 10 event cost. Its total cost is USD 50 and profit is USD 150. If you enter USD 60 as Total spend, the reported cost becomes USD 60 and profit becomes USD 140. The correction does not add USD 60 to the existing cost. Include all costs you want in the total. Event cost is not added to the correction. Individual event amounts and Cost N columns keep their recorded values.

​
Pick the correction mode

Use CPV or CPA for a known rate. Use Total spend for a bill covering a day or range. Amounts are in USD and may be zero. A CPA correction uses Metricanic Conversions. Check which events count as conversions before applying it.

​
Be deliberate with a multi-day total

For Total spend across several days, choose Daily to apply the amount per day or Total to apply it to the whole range: A range total is split evenly across dates. If your bill shows different daily amounts, update each day separately to keep daily profit accurate.

​
Restore original cost

Select the campaign, open Update cost, choose Restore cost, and select the dates and timezone used for the correction. Confirm and refresh the report. If you corrected the same period in another timezone, restore that correction too. For configuring new traffic rather than historical reconciliation, see Traffic costs.
