Set a “maximum bid per click” for each product in the campaign. There are 2 options for this:

  • Autobidding: Our systems takes your daily budget and optimally enter you into auctions where you'll see the best result. We highly suggest autobidding to save you time and keep your bid amounts highly optimized and competitive.
  • Suggested bids: We suggest a bid amount for you based on the overall competition and history. You can bid manually, based on your unit economics and the willingness to pay for additional product page visits.

Topsort's pacing algorithms ensure that your budget is spent in the most optimal way.

The budget you set determines how many clicks on your Sponsored Listing you would like. For example, if your bid is $5 per click and your daily budget is $100, your campaign may be live for a maximum of 20 clicks. We’ll spread your budget out throughout the day, this is called pacing.

Also, depending on page traffic and the number of auctions your campaign is winning, you may not use all your budget.
