For campaigns that don’t use Google Ads auction-time bidding, you can let a budget or bid strategy set device, audience (remarketing) and location bid adjustments for you or you can choose to set them manually.
If you’ve been setting the bid adjustments, you can edit the bid or budget strategy so it makes the adjustments.
Search Ads 360 bid and budget strategies can set bid adjustments in some of the supported client accounts.
