It is now more important than ever to get your brand in front of your customers and automated bidding can be a great way to do this while making the most of your adspend budget, within an everchanging business environment. Smart bidding uses machine learning to optimise bids for conversions or to maximise the value of conversions. It does this by factoring in the likelihood that a user will convert to determine how high or low Google bids on a keyword. This allows for your bids to automatically meet your customer needs and reduce wasteful spending across campaigns, without you having to change a thing.
Smart bidding handles query and volume changes, which is especially important during the coronavirus outbreak as you will potentially experience fluctuations in volume due to a change in queries and clicks. This will allow you to continue to bid in any available auctions and maximise performance within your marketing budget.
