AI ROAS Bid Optimization: The Smarter Way to Scale with Samba 2.5

Many app marketers chase revenue growth but struggle to consistently hit ROAS targets at scale.
Can smarter bidding fix this? Our AI proves it can.
With the new AI ROAS Bid Optimization feature, Samba 2.5 helps you drive revenue while staying within ROAS goals through smarter, scalable, and fully automated bidding strategies.
Here’s how it works and why it matters for anyone serious about growth.
AI ROAS Bid Optimization is a new feature in SplitMetrics Acquire powered by Samba 2.5, designed to help you grow revenue efficiently while staying within your ROAS targets.
It uses AI-driven predictions and automatic bid adjustments across a portfolio of keywords to allocate spend where it performs best. You can apply it to both single-campaign and multi-campaign setups.
The system forecasts expected spend and revenue by analyzing historical performance data and applying a new events approximation technique to better anticipate upcoming trends. It updates bids daily based on these predictions to distribute spend across keywords more effectively, boost campaign performance, and maximize revenue.
Let’s break down the biggest challenges in ROAS optimization and how Samba 2.5 solves them.

Wasted ad spend on low-performing keywords | Smart, portfolio-based bidding shifts budgets toward high-performing keywords, reducing spend waste. |
Difficulty predicting keyword success | Our Samba 2.5 model uses 30M+ datapoints, is 10% more accurate than before and uses a new events approximation technique reducing the impact of data latency. |
