Auction Insights Competitor Response Agent

Spot competitor changes early and respond to the real cause of lost share.

Auction Insights Competitor Response Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A new competitor starts bidding on your best terms, and impression share drops 10 points over a month before it shows up in sales. Each week the agent reads the auction insights for the main campaigns and compares each competitor's overlap rate, position above rate and impression share with earlier weeks. It flags new or growing competitors and then tests why share is lost: is it a budget limit, or low ad rank from bids or quality? It checks budget-lost and rank-lost share, and looks at quality scores and ad relevance. It proposes a response matching the cause, such as a budget increase, a bid change for specific terms, a quality fix on the landing page or no action where the term is not profitable. The specialist approves any change in spend. Edge case: a competitor who is only on one low-value term.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A competitor is flagged when its overlap grows by 10 points or it newly appears on a priority term. The response depends on whether the loss is budget-driven or rank-driven.

  • Flag competitors gaining 10 points of overlap or new on a priority term
  • Increase budget when budget-lost share exceeds rank-lost share
  • Fix quality score when rank-lost share is larger
  • Do not chase terms with low margin

Make it yours

  • Specialist approves landing page change requests

Hard limits

  • Do not run ads against competitor trademarks without approval

It stops when

  • Done: response approved and logged

An example run

What happensCompetitor 'Brightly' appears on 'office chair standing' with 32 percent overlap, up from 0. Share on that term falls from 68 to 54 percent, 9 points budget-lost and 5 rank-lost. The agent proposes a $40 daily budget increase, which at the term's margin is profitable. The specialist approves $30, and the next week share recovers to 61 percent.
