What's a good Daily Spend Pacing?
Karbon Agency's target for Daily Spend Pacing is around 95.0%. That is Karbon's own grading target, not a published industry average. How closely daily spend tracks the target budget (ideal range 90-105%). Excellent is around 100.0% (Karbon target), and the minimum acceptable tier is around 80.0% (Karbon target).

The three tiers Karbon grades against — and where each comes from
| Tier | Value | What it means | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 80.0% | The floor. Below this, something is broken. | Karbon target |
| Recommended | 95.0% | The tier a healthy campaign should hit. | Karbon target |
| Excellent | 100.0% | Top-tier performance worth defending. | Karbon target |
This metric is best kept within a range — too high and too low are both problems.
