Bid Strategy Record - Bulk

  • Artikkeli

Defines a bid strategy that can be uploaded and downloaded in a bulk file.

Note

Not everyone has this feature yet. If you don't, don't worry - it's coming soon!

A portfolio bid strategy is an automated bidding feature that manages bidding across multiple campaigns that are all working toward the same goal.

We automatically adjust your bids to balance under- and over-performing campaigns that share the same strategy, whether to maximize conversions, clicks, target impression share, or other performance goals. Portfolio bid strategies could be a great option for advertisers who want to make sure their entire budgets are spent efficiently.

All you have to do is choose a bid strategy type and include campaigns with complementary budgets in the portfolio. Microsoft Advertising will adjust your bids based on the performance of the entire portfolio. If your portfolio includes any campaigns with a shared budget, then you should include all of the campaigns that share the same budget.

You can have up to 11,000 portfolio bid strategies in an account, and each portfolio can include 10,000 campaigns.

Portfolio bid strategies work best with one goal in mind, using complementary campaign and bid strategy types. You cannot change a portfolio's bid strategy type. If you want a campaign in the portfolio to use a different bid strategy you can move it to another portfolio. Once you choose a campaign type, the portfolio can only include campaigns of that type.

Bid strategy type Campaign types supported
Commission Search, Shopping, Hotel
Maximize clicks Search, Shopping
Maximize conversions Search, Audience
PercentCpc Search, Shopping, Hotel
Target CPA Search
Target impression share Search
Target ROAS Search, Shopping

You can download all Bid Strategy records in the account by including the DownloadEntity value of BidStrategies in the DownloadCampaignsByAccountIds or DownloadCampaignsByCampaignIds service request. Additionally the download request must include the EntityData scope. For more details about the Bulk service including best practices, see Bulk Download and Upload.

If you are using the Bing Ads SDKs for .NET, Java, or Python, you can save time using the BulkServiceManager to upload and download the BulkBidStrategy object, instead of calling the service operations directly and writing custom code to parse each field in the bulk file.

var uploadEntities = new List<BulkEntity>();

// Map properties in the Bulk file to the BulkBidStrategy
var bulkBidStrategy = new BulkBidStrategy
{
    // 'Parent Id' column header in the Bulk file
    AccountId = 0,

    // Map properties in the Bulk file to the 
    // BidStrategy object of the Campaign Management service.
    BidStrategy = new BidStrategy
    {
        // 'Campaign Type' column header in the Bulk file
        AssociatedCampaignType = CampaignType.Search,

        // 'Bid Strategy Type' column header in the Bulk file
        BiddingScheme = new MaxClicksBiddingScheme
        {
            // 'Bid Strategy MaxCpc' column header in the Bulk file
            MaxCpc = new Bid
            {
                Amount = 1.50
            }
        },
        // 'Budget Name' column header in the Bulk file
        Name = "My MaxCpc Bid Strategy " + DateTime.UtcNow,
        // 'Id' column header in the Bulk file
        Id = bidStrategyIdKey,
    },

    // 'Client Id' column header in the Bulk file
    ClientId = "ClientIdGoesHere",
    // 'Status' column header in the Bulk file
    Status = Status.Active
};

uploadEntities.Add(bulkBidStrategy);

var entityUploadParameters = new EntityUploadParameters
{
    Entities = uploadEntities,
    ResponseMode = ResponseMode.ErrorsAndResults,
    ResultFileDirectory = FileDirectory,
    ResultFileName = DownloadFileName,
    OverwriteResultFile = true,
};

var uploadResultEntities = (await BulkServiceManager.UploadEntitiesAsync(entityUploadParameters)).ToList();
