When using the bid simulator to test bidding changes, which metrics can you estimate?

• A. Clicks, costs, impressions, conversions, and conversion value
• B. Clicks only
• C. Quality Score and ad rank
• D. Conversion rate and cost per conversion

Answer: (A)

Bid simulator models how changes in your bid would perform using your historical data. It estimates the key outcomes you care about when adjusting bids: impressions and clicks (traffic), costs (spend), conversions, and conversion value. This set lets you see the trade-offs between spend and results before making changes, helping you pick a bid that meets your goals. Quality Score and ad rank aren’t shown as direct outputs of a bid tweak in the simulator; they influence where and how often ads appear in general, but the simulator focuses on the resulting metrics from the bid adjustment. You can derive related figures like conversion rate or cost per conversion from the simulator’s results, but the primary estimates are those five metrics.
