CIQ Advertising uses AI to convert business objectives into recommendations and automates the decision-making process so brands can operate at algorithmic speed, being always-on and retail aware.

The new CIQ Advertising for Instacart offering provides a single view of all ad campaigns that are running on Instacart Ads and allows users to gain visibility on top performers across campaigns, keywords or SKUs without having to manually drill down into each campaign. Brands can track advertising performance across different purchase journeys on Instacart such as search, browse and impulse buy. Leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms, CommerceIQ classifies consumer searches into branded, category or competitor keyword types to understand purchase intent and identifies highly incremental searches where there are opportunities to drive spend for maximum ROI. On top of this holistic dataset, users can add a rule based on any performance metric, purchase journey or keyword type and take bulk actions with a single click instead of manually managing this process one campaign or keyword at a time. Through this combination of reporting and automations, customers can improve the efficiency of their advertising campaigns, drive efficiency and effectiveness of their advertising campaigns, and more importantly, drive incremental sales.

Taken together, these capabilities enhance the power of the Instacart Ads API, driving value and immediate results for brands running extensive campaigns on the platform.
