Bids and budgets

Frequent or large target changes should only be made due to business needs and won’t negatively impact the performance of your bid strategy.

However, it’s important to note that a major change in targets can have a similarly sized impact on spend or volume. Frequent changes, �not due to business needs, such as multiple times �a day attempting to overcorrect the algorithm are �not recommended.

Use Maximum Conversion Value bidding with a ROAS target for the bid strategy.

You don’t need to worry about a strategy resetting what it’s already learned about your account after changing your target.

In CSS Program Countries, Performance Max campaigns can be used with any Comparison Shopping Service (CSS) you work with. The ads will show on general Search results pages and on any other surfaces the CSS has opted in to.

Adjust bids and budgets for the holiday season

  • Smart Bidding learns at the query-level to set auction-time bids and help you navigate frequent or sudden changes in demand, including those occurring in seasonal or unpredictable periods.
  • However, if you expect a large change �in CVR over a short period of time, you can prepare by adjusting your CPA or ROAS targets manually or using seasonality adjustments.

Adjust Performance Max campaign budgets and ROAS targets at least 4-6 weeks leading up to peak holiday periods in order to capture additional opportunities while maintaining efficiency goals.

Use the labels to segment these products into a separate campaign with a separate budget.

Use a different ROAS target (or use Max conv. value) to hit your holiday goals for these products. A lower ROAS goal will allow for increased visibility.
