Well the issue is that I am the only one advertising in the region but my CPC is quite high while search terms are very relevant for my ads. I am running ads to get customers to go to a store. I got my campaign setup for 'target impression share' because I want people to see my ad as many times as possible when searching for the issue they have.

Has anyone found a way to fix this issue without increasing the budget? I am trying to lower my CPC but sadly without success for now.

There’s nothing to fix. It’s just letting you know you’ll get more volume if you increase budget. I’ve had campaigns spending 10k a day get this message because it was an extremely high volume niche. If your not trying to spend more theirs nothing to fix

Are you getting a return on your ads? If you are then increasing the budget should increase your return. If you are not then you are bidding on keywords/placements that are not valuable. Add more negative keywords and exclude more placements that are not valuable to you

You could also reduce your geotargets - its basically saying that your budget is stretched too thin. If you reduce your target locations for example targeting USA and reducing to top performing states, might help.

Try max dpc, since you are interested in lowering it. You could also try automated binding strategies with a certain TCPA

Exclude locations where spending is more and result is none.

One idea increase your budget but then use a rule to pause ads if you go over a limit per day

Your goal is to get people to go in-store. How are you tracking this and does it equate to RTO. If this is working and converting to an increase in revenue then upping the budget should not be a problem. Second thing to look at is your keywords by running an ngram audit of the campaign identifying underperforming words and phrases that don't lead to a goal.

That is in fact not an issue. I love when I see it. You can lower cpc bids, restrict demographics, pause adgroups. To sum it up, you cam maximize your Roi.

Lower your bids. 99% of the time you'll just get more clicks and conversions

@hillary3 I have the same problem. I'm not sure how lowering my bids will solve my budget issue. Is it that there is more money percentagely for each click? Thanks!

@process69881 Bolyard if you're losing impression share to budget, it means your campaign is running out of budget before the end of the day. the larger the lost impression share to budget, the earlier in the day your campaign is going dark (in general). so if you're losing like 50% impression share, your campaigns might be going dark by noon. by lowering your bids, you're going to get cheaper clicks and spend at a slower pace, allowing the campaigns to stay live for a longer duration throughout the day.

Just increase the budget and get more exposure of your ads.
