If you want to use Google Ads portfolio bid strategies instead of Search Ads 360 bid strategies:
- Navigate to the settings for an existing Google Ads manual campaign or start creating a Google Ads campaign.
- In the Bid strategy section, click Google Ads bid strategies.
- In the panel on the right, under Google Ads bid strategy, click the arrow ▼ and then select a Google Ads portfolio bid strategy.

- Sync the Google Ads engine account with Search Ads 360.
All of the campaign's ad groups and keywords inherit the Google Ads bid strategy setting.
