It’s difficult to assess the performance of bid strategies that have sparse conversion data. Moreover, bid strategies with a low volume of conversions have a tendency to underperform as the system may not have enough data to optimize effectively.
Conversion volume
For a bid strategy to perform effectively and to have a better basis for performance, it is recommended to reach the following conversion volume per portfolio type:
- Intraday Bidding: at least 20 conversions per week
- Google Ads ATB: no minimum required conversion volume
Note: For ROAS bidding, it is recommended to have at least 4+ weeks of Conversion Value data. - Microsoft Advertising ATB: at least 30 conversions per campaign in the last 30 days.
