Hi Pierre, When you ran your experiment, did you set any of the fields of PageOnePromotedBiddingScheme <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/BiddingStrategyService.PageOnePromotedBiddingScheme>, such as the following?
1. *bidCeiling* 2. *bidModifier* 3. *bidChangesForRaisesOnly* 4. *raiseBidWhenLowQualityScore* For example, if you had *bidChangesForRaisesOnly* set to *true*, then the strategy might be lowering your bids, which in turn could lead to fewer impressions. If you had *raiseBidWhenLowQualityScore* set to *true*, you could see increased costs from keywords that need improvement. Check out the Help Center article on the bidding scheme <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6268611?hl=en> for more details. Also, you mentioned fewer clicks. Did you also see fewer *impressions*, and was your AveragePosition <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/keywords-performance-report#averageposition> better or worse than when you manually manage bids?
