The bid you likely need to set for your ad to be shown in the first ad position.

This estimate approximates what cost-per-click (CPC) bid is needed for your ad to show in the first ad position at the top of search results when a search query exactly matches your keyword. Your ad can still appear if your bid does not meet this estimate, but it's less likely to appear in the first ad position of search results.

Tracking the First Position Bid Estimate metric is important as it offers advertisers insights into the estimated bid needed for their ad to appear in the top position of search results.

This information is crucial for optimizing ad visibility and understanding the competitiveness of specific keywords, enabling advertisers to make informed decisions about adjusting bids to secure a premium position and enhance the overall performance of their ad campaigns.

Let's consider three different keywords and their respective First Position Bid Estimates:

Keyword X:
First Position Bid Estimate: $2.50

Keyword Y:
First Position Bid Estimate: $3.75

Keyword Z:
First Position Bid Estimate: $5.20
