Set up conversion-based customer lists

Conversion-based customer lists is a feature that makes it easier for you to set up Customer Match by ticking a box in your Google Ads account settings. Once opted-in, this feature automatically creates audience segments for each of your conversion goals where enhanced conversions are active. Opting in at the account level allows you to input your data into one location that will be applied across your campaigns.

How it works

Enhanced conversions is a feature that can improve the accuracy of your conversion measurement by sending hashed first party user-provided data from your website to Google in a privacy-safe way. Learn more About enhanced conversions.

When you set up conversion-based customer lists, the hashed user-provided data provided by you for enhanced conversions will also be used to build a customer list. This feature simplifies the path to measuring and activating your first-party data as conversion-based audience lists are automatically available in Audience Manager once you opt in.

This article will go over the steps to set up conversion-based customer lists.
