Bidding Limits

Bidding Limits are account-wide controls that apply to all your bids at once. Use them to take a break, or to make sure a busy week doesn’t squeeze more out of your budget than you planned. Find them under Billing → Bidding Limits in the sidebar.

​

Pause account

The Pause account section shows whether Your account is active or Your account is paused. Click Pause to stop receiving leads, and Unpause to start again. While your account is paused, a few things hold true.

• None of your bids compete for leads. Pausing overrides every other setting.
• Your bids, prices, and limits stay exactly as you left them, ready for when you unpause.
• A pulsing Paused chip appears at the top of the sidebar as a reminder. Click it to come back here.

It’s handy for vacations, catching up on a backlog of leads, or managing cash flow, without tearing down your bids.

​

Lead caps

Set the most leads your account can receive per Daily, Weekly, and Monthly period, then click Save lead caps. Leave a field blank for no limit. Once you hit a cap, your bids stop competing until the period resets. Nothing about your bids changes. They just sit out.

​

Budgets

Set the most your account can spend on leads per Daily, Weekly, and Monthly period, then click Save budgets. Leave a field blank for no limit. As you get close to a budget, your bids may show as Limited, because they can only compete at what’s left of the budget. Once the budget is used up, they stop competing until the period resets. See Bid statuses.

​

Limits on individual bids

These settings cover your whole account. If your provider allows it, you can also set caps and budgets on a single bid from its Limits button in the bid editor. The tighter of the two always wins.
