Bidding Strategies
Bidding Strategies determine how Google sets your bids in the ad auction. Options range from manual control to fully automated AI management.
Overview: Bidding Strategies in Google Ads
Manual Strategies
Manual CPC: You set a maximum bid for each keyword. Full control, but time-consuming.
Automated Strategies (Smart Bidding)
- Maximize Conversions: Google optimizes bids for maximum conversions
- Target CPA: Google targets a defined cost per acquisition
- Target ROAS: Google targets a defined return on ad spend
- Maximize Clicks: Google gets the most clicks for your budget
Which Strategy to Choose?
New campaigns: Start with "Maximize Conversions" or Manual CPC until you have 30+ conversions/month.
Established campaigns: Switch to Target CPA or Target ROAS once you have enough conversion data.

There's no universally best strategy. For most businesses, Target CPA or Target ROAS is optimal once enough conversion data exists (at least 30 conversions per month).
