When a you select a cost cap, it imposes limitations on the campaign, which could potentially affect the learning phase (for instance, achieving 50 conversions within 7 days might not be feasible).

How does a bid cap impact ad placements and costs?

  • Setting a bid cap helps control the cost per impression or click, ensuring that you do not exceed your desired bid amount for individual ad placements. This helps maintain cost efficiency in your advertising efforts.
