A step-by-step guide to setting up 'Clicks' campaigns, including how to configure precise location targeting to avoid low-quality traffic and leveraging 'phrase match' to capture the most relevant search queries.
Clicks vs. Conversions Strategy
Start with a 'Clicks' bidding strategy for the initial phase. This allows you to see the actual 'Search Terms' used by users before switching to 'Conversions' once you have enough data.
