What is Win rate?

Header bidding win rate is the share of a bidder's bids that won the auction. A bidder that bids often but rarely wins is adding latency without adding revenue.

Worked example

If bids won is 45,000 and bids received is 300,000, then Win rate = 15.00%.

Win rate = (Bids won ÷ Bids received) × 100

Tactical application guide

Win rate links bids won and bids received in a fixed ratio, so any two pin down the third. Planning backwards is where it earns its keep: enter the bids won you have and the Win rate you are targeting, and the solver tells you the bids received you must secure. Or lock bids received and Win rate from a benchmark to see the bids won that plan implies before you commit.
