SEO Runway Platform Verified: This guide utilizes live telemetry, algorithms, and automated workflows from the Google Ads Performance Matrix (Navigation coordinate: /projects//google_ads/).
1. When to Use Seasonality Adjustments
Smart Bidding relies on historical 30-day conversion data. During a 3-day holiday sale where conversion rates surge by 300%, machine learning models bid too conservatively because they expect normal baseline conversion rates. Seasonality Adjustments instruct the model to bid up immediately for the exact duration of the sale.
