Bid modifiers

Bid modifiers allow you to adjust bids for a specific criterion without changing the targeting of your campaign or ad group. For example, an ad group bid modifier for mobile devices will not exclude impressions for other types of devices, but it will allow you to raise or lower your bids for mobile impressions.

For more information on how bidding works and how to set bid modifiers, see our Bidding Guide.
