Often times clients will ask why their ads aren’t showing up on the top of the Google search results. This is due to budget constraints or the AdWords algorithm spacing your budget throughout the day. Here is a great way to raise your bids to the top. However, this method may exhaust your budget rapidly, and is not recommended for everyone.

- On the Left side at the bottom of the page click “Shared Library”
- Click View>> under “Bid Strategies”
- Click the Red “Bid Strategy” button
- Select “Target Search Page Location”
- Name the Bid, ex. Top of Page
- Under Location, select “Top of the first search results page”

- Click “Save”
- Go back to All Online Campaigns
- Select “Campaign”
- Click “Settings”
- Go to Bid Strategy > Edit > Select a flexible bid strategy
