Conversion Lift feasibility

To use Conversion Lift, your Google Ads account must be tracking at least one compatible conversion action. To detect the lift driven by eligible campaigns, you should meet the minimum estimated conversions at the 'Product' or 'Brand' level. It’s recommended that the sum of the estimated conversions and budgets of all active campaigns that are measuring the product or the brand should meet the 'High' rating.

The 'High' rating is based on your estimated conversions and is given when a study has a 60-90% chance of providing conclusive results. This is based on achieving a 2% minimum detectable lift result. Although not recommended, if you’d prefer to design a study for a higher minimum detectable lift, contact your account manager. It’s also not recommended to run a study with higher than 20% minimum detectable lift, which would be our 'Low' feasibility rating.

Lift is not guaranteed for a variety of reasons, which is why we recommend using a testing schedule that includes running several studies over the course of a year.

To improve your estimated conversions, optimise your campaigns to get a lower CPA or higher conversion volume or increase your budget. For more information, contact your account manager.
