Hi Pierre, Have you considered using automated bidding strategies to accomplish your goals? For example, the PageOnePromotedBiddingScheme <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/BiddingStrategyService.PageOnePromotedBiddingScheme> ("Target search page location") will automatically adjust your bids with the goal of showing your ad on the top of the page or on the first page of Google search results. You can read more details about the strategy in this AdWords Help Center article <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6268611>.
