View and apply the Search Ads 360 bid strategy's recommended adjustment

You can view and apply recommendations for location-target bid adjustments from one of these locations:

• From a specific Search Ads 360 bid strategy: you'll see only the location targets in campaigns that are managed by the bid strategy.

• From an engine account's Targets: Location targets tab: you can see and compare all location targets in an engine account, even those that aren't managed by a bid strategy.

Either way, you might want to view the bid strategy’s recommendation on a regular basis (such as daily or weekly). Depending on how the portfolio of biddable items performs over time, the bid strategy might change the recommendation periodically.
