Google Ads Bidding Strategies

How to Decide Bids

By bidding based on the indicators that can be confirmed on the advertisement management screen of Google advertisement, the publication can be done smoothly. If you are using automatic bidding, you cannot decide bids for each keyword, so select ‘bid’ from the ‘Settings’ of the campaign and click the ‘Change bid strategy’ link at the bottom, It is necessary to change to ‘individual cost per click’.

 

Bid Adjustment

If it is a search network, we bid on a keyword basis, but if you use bid adjustment, you can raise or lower the upper limit by proportion (±%) at once by various factors. Using ‘raising’ makes it difficult to understand the maximum bid, so basically it is easier to operate if you set only the “downgrade” and set the whole.

 

Bidding Method on Display Network

Since it is difficult to gather viewers’ attention on the Display Network, CTR is usually lower. So, if you are advertising on the Display Network, you can set the Display Network maximum CPC for clicks that occur only on the Display Network.

Review of CPM bidding – You can pay for ad impressions in viewing range, not on a cost per click. With bidding of viewing range impression cost (vCPM), payment will be made for 1,000 advertisements displayed in the viewing range.

Placement bid – As with keyword valuation methods, if your ad is performing well on a specific placement, you may consider raising the bid for that placement.

Select Bids in Other Ways

You can also set bid adjustments. This allows you to adjust bids based on whether searches are taking place from mobile devices, or from specific time zones or specific locations. For details, please see the summary of bid adjustment.
