Check auction-time status of shared Floodlight conversions

To share Floodlight conversions with Google Ads for auction-time bidding, the manager account (MCC) of a Google Ads account must accept the shared conversions in Google Ads.

Complete the following steps in Search Ads 360 to determine whether the Floodlight conversions were accepted in a manager account. The Floodlight conversions are accepted if a Google Ads manager account is linked to Search Ads 360.  If the accounts aren't linked, auction-time bidding with Floodlight conversions won't occur in the Google Ads campaigns in the account.
