Google Ads offers an automated bid strategy that uses AI to set bids to help you get as many conversions as possible within your budget: Target CPA bidding. To use Target CPA, you set a target cost-per-action (CPA) that is then used to optimize bids for all campaigns and ad groups using your bid strategy.
Note: You can set individual Target CPA or Target ROAS bids at the ad group level, but the strategy used to place bids will now be controlled at the portfolio level.
