Create a seasonality adjustment event
Applies to Search Ads 360 bid strategies
We recommend that you create a seasonality adjustment event only if your sales or promotional event is longer than 6 hours and if you expect a significant change in conversion rate (more than ±30%). See more best practices.
If you set a seasonality adjustment event directly in an engine (such as in Google Ads), that event will take precedence over any seasonality adjustments you set in Search Ads 360. So, we recommend managing all seasonality adjustments in Search Ads 360 to ensure expected performance during the event's time frame.
