Why is this the correct answer?
Three ways automated bidding can improve efficiency are by setting the appropriate bid for each and every auction, by saving time and marketing resources, and by integrating a large variety of signals to evaluate user intent. Automated bidding evaluates each auction in real time, considering dozens of signals simultaneously to set the optimal bid — something manual bidding cannot replicate. It eliminates the time cost of manually monitoring and adjusting bids across campaigns, and its signal integration enables smarter bidding decisions based on device, location, audience, time, and intent.
Why are the other options wrong?
By setting manual bids for specific times of the day
Setting manual bids for specific times of the day describes ad scheduling with manual bid adjustments — the opposite of automated bidding, which handles time-of-day signals automatically within the Smart Bidding model.
By setting minimum and maximum bid values according to the daily budget
Setting minimum and maximum bid values according to the daily budget describes bid cap or target spend settings, not the core efficiency mechanisms of automated bidding.
Real-world example
A retail chain switches from manual CPC bidding to Target ROAS automated bidding across 12 campaigns. The Smart Bidding system evaluates over 70 signals per auction, bidding higher for high-intent mobile users near stores and lower for late-night browsing sessions. The marketing team saves 8 hours per week previously spent on manual bid adjustments, while ROAS improves from 320% to 490% over 60 days.
