Change your bid strategy while your campaign's conversion goal and primary conversion action remains the same.

Recommended steps

The image represents a custom icon 1. Ensure conversion values are reported for the existing conversion action through your conversion goals settings, offline conversion import, or through the site tag.

  • Do not make any edits to your campaign's selected conversion goal.
  • Continue to use Target CPA for 3 conversion cycles (or 4 weeks, whichever is longer). This allows Smart Bidding to learn conversion value data.

  • Tip: If switching to Target ROAS, use the prior 4 weeks historical ROAS (excluding conversion delay) to determine your target.
