Real-time bids

Reach your audience at the right moment

Smart Bidding offers true auction-time optimisation. It sets bids for each individual auction, not just a few times a day. This allows you to tailor bids to each user’s unique search.

Signals

Increase conversions with billions of combinations of signals

Instead of a few basic adjustments, Smart Bidding evaluates all the relevant contextual factors. This includes things like the search query, device, browser, language and time of day.

Drive value

Bid towards conversion values to maximise your ROI

Not all conversions are equal – some are worth more than others. Measuring conversion values and then bidding towards them helps you find more valuable customers.

Maximise sales

Bid for online and in-store sales

Maximise total sales, whether they happen online or in your shops. You can measure and optimise for shop visits or shop sales driven by your online ads.
