Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Google will phase out enhanced CPC (ECPC) by March, leaving advertisers to choose between manual and automated bidding.

Gradual bid adjustments, long-term reviews, and using bid modifiers like audience and device settings can improve efficiency and ad performance.
