A tailored approach to spending your budget on ad clicks to maximize specific goals, like conversions or visibility.
A bid strategy is how you decide what you’re willing to pay for a click or conversion. The right strategy depends on your goal (volume, efficiency, revenue), your constraints (budget, capacity), and the quality of your measurement. The best bid strategy is the one that protects margin while still capturing demand.
