the campaigns that contributed. This allows bidding to prioritize the most impactful strategies.

Data Driven Attribution creates an attribution model

Beta Best Practices: Conversion Health
Use Google Ads conversion tracking tags across your entire site
1 Conversion Setup
Include the Conversion Tracking event on the final conversion page
2 Appify & Deep Linking Include Firebase app conversions in ‘account level goals’
3 Sitewide Tagging Set up the Global Site Tag and use it on every page of your site
4 Max Clicks Setup If you’re looking to drive site visits, use Max Clicks which does not require conversion tracking setup
5 Enhanced Conversions Get the most accurate, privacy-safe reporting with Enhanced Conversions
6 DDA Use Data Driven Attribution (DDA) for GACT and GA conversion actions
Beta Best Practices: Campaign Structure
Avoid making changes to campaign construction for 2 weeks after launch

1 Learning Period
Wait for at least 50 conversions at the ad group level before making any changes to campaign
construction
When modifying your campaign tCPA, limit bid changes within +/- 20% at a time
Include all relevant audience themes in the same ad group – our model learns at the ad group level, so
2 Ad Group Consolidation
consolidating audiences at this level (vs. breaking out new campaigns/ad groups for each audience)
improves performance
Use the Asset Report to identify top and bottom performing assets, and use the Ad Strength metric in
that report to ensure your ads meet best practices.
3 Dynamic Product Ads If your client has a GMC feed, use Dynamic Product Ads
If your client does not have a GMC feed, implement sitelinks
DG Beta-BPs: Bidding Strategy

Use the new in-UI tCPA Scaling Simulator to interact with % based bid increments with traffic estimates
If you are new to Demand Gen or Discovery campaigns, or you don’t have a specific tCPA goal in mind,
2 Max Conversions
you should start your campaigns with Max Conversions bidding and shift to tCPA bidding after 50
conversions
Or, if your primary goal is to drive as many conversions as possible, start with Max Conversions bidding

and top signals
Beta Best Practices: Budget Setting
Recommended minimum budget is $100-500 per day, per ad group

1 Total Budgets
Ad groups with >50 conversions perform better
If a campaign is limited by budget, use Performance Planner to optimize budgets
2 tCPA Set a daily budget that is at least 15x tCPA
Set a daily budget of at least 15x expected average CPA, or minimum $100 per day, per ad group
3 Max Conversions
(whichever is greater)
Use the in-UI budget simulator for Max Conversions campaigns to interact with simulations at
various budgets with traffic estimates
Use previous 30-day ROAS and adjust after 50 conversions

4 tROAS
Set a minimum budget that = 20 x (avg. order value / tROAS)
Beta Best Practices: Creatives
1 Image Creatives Tell your brand’s story with quality, compelling images
Use ABCD creative guidance

2 Video Creatives
Repeat the CTA and ensure it’s echoed in the voiceover and overlaid graphics
Prioritize and use assets that perform across inventory
3 Image + Video
Think mobile-first when selecting assets
Maximize reach by following the “Rule of 3” and including:

4 Creative Variants
All aspect ratios for image (portrait, square, landscape)
All aspect ratios for video (square, landscape, vertical)
3 descriptions and 3 headlines
5 Text and Captions Use <100 characters in your ad and have text overlay occupy <20% of images
6 Experiments Use A/B experiments to test different creatives & how they resonate with target audiences
7 Policy Follow our creative guidelines for Image & Text, and for Video
Beta Best Practices: Audiences
1 Optimized Targeting Turn on Optimized Targeting from Day 1 to add scale and efficiency
Use your online and offline data to reach and re-engage with your existing customers, and audiences who
2 Customer Match/1P have engaged with your company already
Upload Customer Match lists using match rate and match keys
Keep data fresh by updating frequently to maximize reach
3 In-Market Ensure at least one campaign in the account is targeting in-market audiences
