01
Views, Clicks and Conversions are different optimization jobs
OpenAI documents Views campaigns for impression-based exposure, Clicks campaigns for valid-click traffic and Conversions campaigns for supported downstream conversion events. The objective affects both pricing and how delivery is optimized.
02
Maximize Results automates bids
For eligible ad groups, OpenAI's Maximize Results strategy can automatically set and adjust bids to pursue as many selected results as possible within budget. OpenAI explicitly says this does not guarantee delivery against a specific CPA, CPC, ROAS or other efficiency target.
03
Manual max bids remain useful when guardrails matter
If the business has a hard bid ceiling or needs more direct control, Ads Manager also exposes manual or advanced bid controls. The correct choice depends on volume, measurement quality and the economic cost of letting the system explore.
04
Magnify's decision layer starts after the platform metric
A bidding strategy can hit its optimization objective and still be commercially weak. Magnify's wider operating model compares result quality, product economics and cross-channel opportunity cost so result volume is not mistaken for profitable growth.
