A Note About eCPC
Using Google's eCPC with MarinOne's Device Bidding can result in double-boosting of Device and Audience multipliers, so we recommend using one or the other -- either eCPC or MarinOne's multipliers -- rather than using both at the same time.
In general, we recommend using Google's eCPC unless there are structural constraints that make it impossible to use in your account (i.e. you don't have a Google pixel, you have a device specific target, etc.). To learn more about Google's eCPC, check out our dedicated article. If there are structural constraints in your account that prevent you from using eCPC, that's where MarinOne's multipliers can help.
If you're uncertain which option is right for your account, please reach out to an account representative.
A Note About Manual Bidding
When a Strategy is set to Traffic Bids , we discourage manual editing of bids. However, we do acknowledge that there may be rare cases when a bid may need to be manually edited; for such cases, we recommend making the change to the bid in Marin and employing the use of a Bid Override. The override can be set to expire after a certain time (e.g. 1 day). Failure to add an override may result in the manual bid change being ignored if bidding is already underway.
