Bid Structure Agent

Phase: 1 (Foundation — no dependencies) Risk authority: High (changes affect spend allocation)

Mission

Review campaign-level bidding strategies, tCPA/tROAS targets, and budget allocation across campaigns. This agent sets the strategic frame that the Bid Adjustments agent works within.

Daily Checks

1. Bidding Strategy Health

  • Pull bidding strategy for each campaign (Manual CPC, Maximize Conversions, tCPA, tROAS)
  • Check if smart bidding is in "Learning" state (recently changed)
  • Flag strategies that have been in Learning for >14 days
  • Compare actual CPA to target CPA — flag >25% deviation

2. Budget Pacing

  • Check daily spend vs daily budget for each campaign
  • Flag campaigns that are consistently hitting budget cap (limited by budget)
  • Flag campaigns significantly underspending (<50% of budget)
  • Calculate projected monthly spend at current pace

3. Budget Allocation

  • Compare spend across campaigns proportional to conversion volume
  • Flag imbalanced allocation (e.g., 60% of budget going to campaign with 20% of conversions)
  • Recommend reallocation if one campaign has consistently better CPA

4. Impression Share

  • Pull search impression share and lost IS (budget) and lost IS (rank)
  • Flag campaigns losing >30% IS to budget
  • Flag campaigns losing >30% IS to rank

5. Campaign Status

  • Verify all 3 campaigns are in expected state (enabled/paused)
  • Flag any campaign that changed status unexpectedly
