What This Recipe Does
This Recipe is specifically tailored to amplify bid reductions for targets with exceptionally low ACOS, beyond the standard settings of your High ACOS Recipe. When a target qualifies, it triggers this Recipe in addition to the High ACOS Recipe, resulting in a cumulative bid reduction.
Segmenting by profit volume, low, moderate, and high, ensures that adjustments are based on the most relevant data:
- Low volume: 30-day look back
- Moderate volume: 14-day look back
- High volume: 7-day look back
When to Use This Recipe
Implement this Recipe to aggressively reduce bids of your worst performing targets. It’s optimal for pulling back on bids where they are least effective, allowing for a reallocation of your budget towards more profitable areas.
Key Benefits
- Implements steeper bid decreases for targets with the highest ACOS.
- Delivers compounded bid reductions by activating alongside the High ACOS Recipe.
- Reduces wasted ad spend on targets that fall well beyond your profitability range.
Composer Customization Tips
- Set a higher blended ACOS threshold for this Recipe compared to your High ACOS Recipe to ensure it targets only those keywords with the most excessive ACOS.
- By default, this Recipe will only trigger if a target has received at least one click in the last two days to prevent a downward bid spiral and maintain target impressions. Modify this safeguard using the time frame and click threshold in the global options.
Recommended Schedule & Actions
- Adjust bids by an additional 2-4% daily, on top of the High ACOS Recipe's adjustments, effectively doubling the bid reduction for eligible targets.
- Begin with a conservative percentage for gradual bid management or opt for a higher percentage to aggressively cut back on high ACOS targets.
