What Is Bid Strategy?

The rule telling an ad platform how to bid in auctions—whether maximizing conversions, value, or staying under a cost cap.

Formula & calculation

Cost Cap <= Maximum Profitable Cost Per Result

Practical example

Setting an 8.00 USD cost cap instructs the auction algorithm to target conversions averaging around 8.00 USD.
