# Keyword bid suggestions

For manual CPC campaigns, Adalysis will flag opportunities for more effective keyword bidding. If triggered, you'll see the alert on your **Audit alerts** screen.

Click on it for a list of suggested bids and performance data. To apply the suggestions straight from the alert, select the relevant rows and click **Apply bid adjustments**.

Under **Bid suggestions settings**, you can also experiment with approaches and settings by clicking **Recalculate suggested bid adjustments** after each update. Once you're happy with the results, **apply the bid adjustments**.

### Default settings

To compute the best bids, Adalysis considers multiple signals for each keyword:

* quality score
* lost search impression share due to rank
* Google estimates for specific positions
* search volume
* performance history
* your goals&#x20;

The default goal is to increase conversions. (If you're not tracking conversions in your account, your default bid strategy will be to increase clicks.) You can change the goal and other parameters in **Audit** > **Audit settings** > **Prebuilt** > **Bid suggestions**.

### Customizing your bid suggestions

Here's how you can customize the calculations:&#x20;

1. **Select your goal:** increase clicks, increase conversions, target CPA, or target ROAS.
2. Set **minimum and maximum bid limits,** either as a numerical value or using Google estimations for First page bid, Top of page bid, and First position bid.
3. Select the **date range** that should be analyzed for computing new bids.
4. Set **minimum thresholds** to ensure you only receive bid suggestions when there's enough data. Choose from impressions, clicks, or conversions.
5. To avoid frequent bid changes for the same keywords, set a **minimum time frame between bid updates**. Adalysis records the date each keyword bid was last changed (either within Adalysis or in Google Ads).
6. **Define how aggressive** you want your bid suggestions to be.
7. Choose whether to set **automatic bid changes** for the future.
8. **View other account settings**, where available, for comparison.
