FAQ – Google Bid Simulator

The Google bid simulator supports webmasters

The Google AdWords Bid Simulator allows a close look at the development of ad performance when delivered with different click costs. This is done automatically so that the advertiser does not have to determine this development himself. This makes it easier for the user to determine bids.

Bid simulator basic knowledge

The reasons for using the bidding simulator lie in the basic consideration of bids at auctions. While in a conventional auction in an auction house only the bid amount is decisive, many factors play a role in Google ads. With Google AdWords, the advertiser makes his maximum bid for a click for a specific word or combination of words. But that does not mean that he has to pay this price. Similarly, the highest bidder does not automatically get first place among the ads.

Which bidding simulators are available?

Basically you can distinguish between 2 different bidding simulators. The first bid simulator deals with the manual costs per click. The second one is part of the automatic bid adjustments in the cost per click. They both determine the effects that certain factors have on the direct performance of an advertised search term.
