Bid adjustments in a budget bid strategy

Configure a budget plan

By default, a budget bid strategy only recommends bid adjustments. You can set up a budget bid strategy to automatically set bid adjustments for devices, remarketing targets, and location targets. Note that some bid adjustments are only supported in certain search engine accounts.

In search engines such as Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising, a budget bid strategy can set or recommend device and location target bid adjustments. In Yahoo! Japan, only device bid adjustments are managed.
