Why bid strategy performance analysis matters for Google Ads users
Google Ads offers numerous automated bidding strategies, each optimising for different objectives. The right strategy depends on your campaign goals, conversion volume, and data maturity. Choosing poorly can waste significant budget while appearing to perform well on surface-level metrics.
Analysing bid strategy performance in your metric tree connects bidding decisions to downstream business outcomes. A strategy that maximises conversions may drive low-quality leads, while one targeting ROAS may constrain volume. The tree reveals the full picture.
