How Campaign Objective Works
The selected objective determines available conversion locations, optimization events, formats and delivery behavior.
A Simple Example
A service business that wants qualified forms would generally use a Leads objective rather than optimize a Traffic campaign for inexpensive landing-page views.

Common Misreading
Choosing the closest-sounding objective is not enough. The downstream optimization event and its data quality often matter more than the campaign label.
