What is Maximum Delivery bidding?
Maximum Delivery is LinkedIn's automated bidding strategy.
Instead of requiring you to choose a bid amount, LinkedIn automatically enters auctions at the bid it believes is most likely to achieve your campaign objective.
The system considers factors such as:
- User engagement history
- Audience competitiveness
- Estimated conversion likelihood
- Ad quality
- Historical campaign performance
For most advertisers, Maximum Delivery is the safest place to begin because it allows the algorithm to optimize more efficiently than manual bidding.
