Automated Bidding Strategies Explained with Real Examples

What Are Automated Bidding Strategies?

Automated bidding strategies in Google Ads allow advertisers to let Google’s algorithm adjust bids in real-time based on the likelihood of achieving specific outcomes like clicks, conversions, or impressions. For small businesses or agencies, this takes the guesswork out of manual bidding and helps improve efficiency.

These strategies are powered by machine learning and are ideal for businesses looking to scale their paid search efforts while maintaining performance. At Atomic Social, we specialize in optimizing campaigns using automated bidding to drive real results for our clients.

Types of Automated Bidding Strategies

1. Target CPA (Cost-Per-Acquisition)

This strategy aims to get as many conversions as possible at or below your set CPA. For example, an e-commerce company in Phoenix, AZ, selling skincare products saw a 22% drop in cost-per-sale using Target CPA after switching from manual bidding.

2. Target ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)

Perfect for revenue-focused campaigns, this strategy focuses on maximizing conversion value. A Seattle-based SaaS company we worked with increased their ROAS by 37% in just 4 weeks by using this strategy effectively.

3. Maximize Clicks

If your goal is to drive more traffic, this strategy sets your bids to get the most clicks within your budget. We helped a local law firm in Austin, TX triple their traffic using Maximize Clicks in just two months.

4. Maximize Conversions

For campaigns that rely heavily on conversion goals like form fills or product purchases, this strategy is highly effective. Atomic Social helped a boutique clothing store in Orlando, FL, increase sales by 40% with this tactic.

5. Enhanced CPC (Cost-Per-Click)

This hybrid strategy adjusts manual bids for clicks that seem more likely to convert. It’s great for businesses not quite ready for full automation but wanting some AI assistance.

When to Use Automated Bidding

Not every business will benefit the same way from every bidding strategy. Here’s when automation really shines:

• You have a clear conversion goal (like sign-ups or purchases)

• You want to save time on bid adjustments

• Your campaigns have enough conversion data for machine learning to optimize effectively
