Seasonality Adjustments Backfire on Black Friday
An analysis by Optmyzr, based on 5,886 Google Ads accounts during Black Friday-Cyber Monday (BFCM) 2024, reveals that advertisers using seasonality adjustments experienced a 34% increase in CPCs and a 15.7% decrease in ROAS, while those who did not saw only a 17% CPC rise and a 5.7% ROAS increase. The pattern held across 2022 and 2023. The study suggests that seasonality adjustments for widely recognized events like Black Friday are counterproductive because Google's Smart Bidding already anticipates the lift, leading to overbidding. Instead, the article recommends using guardrails, such as alerts and policies, and leveraging AI assistants via Optmyzr's MCP for portfolio-wide monitoring and management. It also highlights the importance of clean conversion tracking and adjusting tROAS targets for volume, not seasonality adjustments.
