Understanding Manual Bidding Strategies

The discussion highlights the agency's exclusive reliance on manual bidding strategies, with a focus on cost controls like cost caps and bid caps. The agency reports spending nearly 100% of its clients' budgets on these strategies, as they believe that such a model provides better outcomes compared to automated options. They emphasize the distinction between targeting lower-cost conversions with bid caps and aiming for higher-value customers through target Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) campaigns. This nuanced approach allows them to optimize ad spending more effectively and capitalize on incremental revenue opportunities.
