Importance of Bid Caps in Media Buying

Bid caps in media buying play a crucial role in controlling the maximum amount to pay for a conversion. By setting bid caps, advertisers can enable the platform to bid in auctions and strive to acquire conversions at or below the specified cost. This strategy allows for scalability while maintaining a target customer acquisition cost. Bid caps differ from cost caps, as the former focuses on a maximum price per conversion, while the latter provides an average outcome. Bid caps provide advantages such as maximizing spend efficiency and accommodating different products with varying Average Order Values (AOV).
