Smart Bidding in Google Ads: what it is, how it works and why it's key to increasing your conversions
Cristian CabreraAugust 29, 2025 | 8 min
The world of digital marketing has changed. Today, competing in Google Ads isn't just about appearing, but about appearing at the right moment with the right offer. That's where Smart Bidding comes in, Google's technology that uses machine learning to automatically adjust bids and help you get more conversions or greater value from each customer.
What is Smart Bidding
Smart Bidding is a set of automated bidding strategies in Google Ads that use AI to optimize each auction in real time. Instead of you manually defining the cost per click (CPC), the system adjusts it taking into account device, location, time of day, search intent, user history and hundreds of other signals.
Main Smart Bidding strategies
The most used in Google Ads campaigns are:
- 1. Maximize conversions: Ideal when you're looking for lead volume.
- 2. Maximize conversion value: Focuses on higher value sales or premium customers.
- 3. Target CPA (tCPA): Maintains a stable average cost per acquisition.
- 4. Target ROAS (tROAS): Ensures a return on advertising investment.
Advantages of using Smart Bidding
The key benefits this strategy offers are:
- Time savings: You don't have to adjust bids manually.
- Better performance: The system learns from your business data.
- Real-time optimization: Each auction is adjusted dynamically.
- Scalability: The more you invest, the more data the algorithm has to improve results.

I want to implement it
Smart Bidding is recommended if you already have conversions configured on your site (forms, calls, purchases), accumulate at least 30–50 monthly conversions to give the system data, and when you're looking for long-term profitability instead of controlling each click manually.

Smart Bidding isn't magic: it requires data, clear objectives and proper conversion setup. But when well implemented, it can transform your account into a constant optimization machine that maximizes the value of each customer.
