At first, we use either Max Clicks OR manual eCPC until we’re getting enough conversion data to swap over to Max Conversions/Max Conversions Value.

We focus on search + search partners only. Display network expansion increases clicks, sure, but the quality is TOO LOW.

Typically (this may vary based on client) we’re targeting US-only at first, make sure that you check “Presence” and do not leave on interest based location targeting.

Typically I add in 3-5 audiences at first – observation only – to monitor if any bid adjustments may make sense in the future. I usually focus on: Vacation Rentals, Houses For Rent, Hotels & Accommodations as well as Luxury Travelers, Family Vacationers, Outdoor. If the area is large enough, there may also be an audience for that specific region.
