Anu Adegbola brings together Reva Minkoff and Craig Graham’s answers to PPC Live community questions about budget-constrained Smart Bidding. The discussion explores how practitioners assess efficiency targets and investigate a change in results before reacting. It is useful when reviewing configured targets against delivered CPA or ROAS, alongside conversion lag, seasonality and account history. Read the different perspectives as diagnostic prompts for your own campaigns. These are practitioner observations, and the appropriate response still depends on the campaign objective and the business behind it.
