Bidadjustments Get started!

If you think bidadjustments for every hour of each day is too much, this script offers the solution. Like the bidadjustment scripts on devices, locations and audiences, it automatically sets bidadjustments for all blocks in a campaign's adschedule. You can arrange this adschedule per campaign as desired.

With the latest adjustments in this script, it is possible to calculate the bid adjustments based on CPA or ROAS. The CPA or ROAS of a location is compared to the CPA or ROAS of the corresponding campaign.

Settings

  • LOG: Specify whether the script should report the intermediate steps by adjusting the value to 'true'.
  • DATE_RANGE: The script looks at the statistics over this period.
  • MINIMUM_CONVERSIONS: Set a minimum number of conversions for an ad schedule. If a location has less conversions, we won't set a bidadjustment.
  • MINIMUM_CONVERSIONVALUE: Set a minimum conversionvalue for an ad schedule. If an ad schedule has less revenue, we won't set a bidadjustment.
  • MINIMUM_COST: Set a minimum amount of cost for an ad schedule. If an ad schedule has spend less, we won't set a bidadjustment.
  • MINIMUM_CLICKS: Set a minimum number of clicks for an ad schedule. If an ad schedule has less clicks, we won't set a bidadjustment.
  • KPI: Calculate the bidadjustment based on 'CPA' or 'ROAS'.
  • CAMPAIGN_LABEL: Select campaigns by using a label.
  • MAX_BID: The bidadjustment will not be higher than this. 1.3 = +30% or 2 = +100%.
  • MIN_BID: The bidadjustment will not be lower than this. 0.75 = -25% or 0.5 = -50%.
