PLAYBOOK CONTENT
Track every bid strategy change across my account and measure whether it helped or hurt performance.
- Query Change Events for all campaign-level changes where the bidding strategy fields were modified
- For each bid strategy change, extract:
- Campaign name
- Old bid strategy vs new bid strategy (e.g., Manual CPC to Target CPA, Target CPA to Maximize Conversions)
- Target values (old target CPA vs new target CPA)
- Who made the change and through which tool
- Date and time
- For each change that is at least 7 days old, pull performance metrics for 7 days before and 7 days after:
- CPA, ROAS, conversion volume, impression share, average CPC
- Classify each change as: improved performance, hurt performance, or no significant impact
- Log everything in a Google Sheet with the before/after bid strategy, before/after performance, and the verdict
- Send a Slack alert whenever a new bid strategy change is detected, with a reminder to check back in 7 days for the impact analysis
- Schedule weekly execution
