Dynamic Bidding (Down Only) FAQs

Updated over 3 weeks ago


What is Dynamic Bidding (Down Only)?

Dynamic Bidding (Down Only) is a bidding feature for Product Ads that helps you save on ad spend while staying competitive. You set the maximum bid you’re willing to pay per click, and noon’s system automatically lowers your bid in real time when it detects lower competition or a lower likelihood of conversion.

You will never be charged more than your maximum bid.


How is Dynamic Bidding different from Fixed Bidding?

With Fixed Bidding, your bid stays the same for every auction, regardless of competition or conversion likelihood.

With Dynamic Bidding (Down Only):

  • Your bid can be reduced automatically

  • This helps you avoid overpaying for lower-value clicks

  • Your budget is used more efficiently

In short:

  • Fixed Bidding = full manual control, no adjustments

  • Dynamic Bidding (Down Only) = cost efficiency with automatic savings


How does Dynamic Bidding (Down Only) work?

It works in three simple steps:

  1. You set the maximum amount you’re willing to pay for a click.

  2. The system evaluates each auction in real time.

  3. If competition is low or a click is less likely to convert, your bid is automatically lowered.

This helps stretch your daily budget so it can last longer throughout the day.


Will Dynamic Bidding ever increase my bid?

No. Dynamic Bidding (Down Only) only lowers bids. Your bid will never exceed the maximum bid you set.


What is a Maximum Bid?

Your Maximum Bid is the highest amount you’re willing to pay per click.

It acts as a safety cap:

  • The system can bid below this amount

  • It will never bid above it


Do I pay my maximum bid for every click?

No. Your maximum bid is not what you always pay.

You are charged the actual bid at the time of the click, which is often lower than your maximum bid when Dynamic Bidding is enabled.

Dynamic Bidding helps you:

  • Avoid overpaying for lower-value clicks

  • Use your budget more efficiently

  • Improve cost control and ROAS

  • Spend less time manually adjusting bids

What is Auto Targeting?

Auto Targeting uses noon’s data and algorithms to automatically match your ads with relevant shoppers based on:

  • Shopper behavior
    Search activity

  • Product relevance

You don’t manually choose keywords or categories. Instead, the system automatically determines keyword and category placements where your ads can appear.


How does bidding work with Auto Targeting?

With Auto Targeting, you can choose how to set your bids, depending on your preference:

  • You can set one single bid that applies across all placements, or

  • You can choose Bid by Placement to set different bids for:

  • Keyword placements, which show your ad on relevant search terms

  • Category placements, which show your ad on browse pages, product detail pages, and the cart for similar products

When Dynamic Bidding (Down Only) is enabled:

  • Your bids act as maximum bid limits

  • The system may lower your bid in real time when competition is lower

  • Your bid will never exceed the amount you set (per placement or overall)

You are only charged when someone clicks on your ad.


Is there a minimum bid requirement?

Yes. The minimum bid is 0.25 AED.


How should I choose my maximum bid?

Choose a maximum bid based on:

What you’re comfortable paying if the click converts

  • How competitive your category is

  • Your performance goals (visibility vs. efficiency)

A higher maximum bid helps you compete for top-performing placements, while Dynamic Bidding helps control costs.


Does Dynamic Bidding help my budget last longer?

Yes. By lowering bids when competition is low, Dynamic Bidding helps:

  • Reduce unnecessary spending

  • Stretch your daily budget

  • Maintain delivery throughout the day


Do I need to monitor or adjust bids frequently?

No. Dynamic Bidding reduces the need for frequent manual bid adjustments, allowing you to focus on growing your business while the system optimizes costs in the background.

  • Spend

  • Revenue

  • ROAS

  • Orders

  • CTR

  • Views
