Staggering KW Bids statement true?

When bidding on keywords, the level of match type specificity changes how competitive the auction is. Broad keywords reach a wide audience, so they tend to have lower competition and can be priced lower to control costs. Phrase match and category-level keywords, however, capture more specific buyer intent, so more advertisers compete for those placements. Because of that heightened competition, you should bid higher on those terms—roughly 20-25% more than your broad keyword bids—to stay competitive without overpaying for broad traffic. This approach balances visibility for more targeted searches with cost efficiency for broad reach.
