Set bid aggression up to 150% for rapid increases on winners (e.g., jumping from $1 to $1.75 in high-velocity steps) or dial to 50% for gradual scaling to minimise risk. Bid aggression down at 100%+ cuts losers fast when ACOS exceeds target, but pair with minimum spend thresholds (e.g., $3 per keyword) to avoid premature pauses. Start moderate, monitor for 7-14 days, then ramp up as data confirms stability.&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR: Focus on Marginal CPC vs CVR; Cut Losers, Push Winners; Use Placement MultipliersTo lower ACOS fast, concentrate on the relationship between your marginal Cost-Per-Click (CPC) and Conversion Rate (CVR)&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":".gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-1,.gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-2,.gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-3{flex-direction:column;box-sizing:border-box}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-1.gspb_container>p:last-of-type,#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-2.gspb_container>p:last-of-type,#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-3.gspb_container>p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-1.gspb_container.aos-animate,#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-1.gspb_container[data-gs-aos],#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-2.gspb_container.aos-animate,#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-2.gspb_container[data-gs-aos],#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-3.gspb_container.aos-animate,#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-3.gspb_container[data-gs-aos]{opacity:1;transform:translateZ(0)}#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-1.gspb_container,#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-2.gspb_container,#gspb_container-id-gsbp-f12927-3.gspb_container{position:relative;transition-duration:.5s;transition-timing-function:var(--gs-root-animation-easing, cubic-bezier(0.42, 0, 0.58, 1));opacity:var(--gs-root-animation-opacity, 0);transition-property:opacity,transform,filter;box-sizing:border-box}","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"republish_tag":[],"class_list":["post-12927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-advertising"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12927"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14218,"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12927\/revisions\/14218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12927"},{"taxonomy":"republish_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/republish_tag?post=12927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
