Bid Strategy

A Bid Strategy is the rule that sets how much you pay per auction, chosen from manual, automatic, and target-cost options in the LINE Ads platform.

With automatic bidding, the system sets bids in real time to spend your budget efficiently, which suits new advertisers and accounts still gathering data. With manual bidding, you fix the bid yourself for direct control. Target-cost approaches aim to hold a defined cost per result while the system manages the auction. You pick based on how much data the campaign has and how tightly you need to control cost.

A new advertiser launches on automatic bidding to let the system learn, then switches a proven ad set to manual bidding to hold the line on cost once conversions are steady.

Manual is not automatically cheaper. A manual bid set too low simply loses auctions and starves delivery, while one set too high burns budget faster than automatic would. Do not reach for manual control until you have enough conversion data to know what a winning bid actually is.

Control follows data, not the other way around.
