  • Google Ads Bidding Strategies Guide Part 1: Maximize Clicks

    This is the first in our Bidding Strategies Guide series. And it’s not like any other guide you’ve seen before! In this guide, John doesn’t only help you choose the best bidding strategy for your campaign. He also breaks the misconceptions on how Google uses the bidding strategies and why they don’t always work.

     

    First in our series is about what bidding strategies are and how it works. Then, John dives into the first bidding strategy on the list, which is also one of our underutilized bidding strategies, Maximize Clicks.

     

    Google Ads defines Maximize Clicks as the simplest way to bid for clicks—you set a budget, and Google Ads does the rest.

     

    But like anything that Google says, don’t trust its definition and let it “do the rest.” There are things you have to consider and ensure before you use this bidding strategy. Learn what they are and more:

     

    -Misconception: Bidding strategies are not necessarily how to set the bid

    -Pros and cons of Maximize Clicks bidding

    -Is Maximize Clicks bidding good for Performance Max?

    -When to use Maximize Clicks

    -What lead generations have to be cautious about when using Maximize Clicks

    -Why you shouldn’t use broad match with Maximize Clicks bidding
