The Estimated Ad Positions column shows your ad's estimated position on each of your keywords with your current maximum CPC. You may get new estimates simply by entering a new figure for maximum CPC
Continue Testing and Measuring: Also, continue to measure results without any tools and manually adjust your bids until you begin to achieve your desired ROI. This is an experimental process, where you may not necessarily bid higher CPCs but may lower your bid to find out where the keyword is converting the best for the optimal cost.
