Edit Search Ads 360 bid strategy settings

After you create a Search Ads 360 bid strategy, you can make changes to the bid strategy's settings. For example, you can change the target CPA or ROAS, or add and remove bid limits, and turn on Google Ads auction-time bidding.

Note that some changes may cause performance fluctuations, or cause a Search Ads 360 bid strategy to enter learning mode.

Note: The conversion source of a campaign can be checked on the campaign overview page. A “Segment” when added to the reporting table, shows the conversion source of the campaign. A conversion source indicates the medium through which the ad was clicked and eventually converted. A conversion needs to be defined in the account by setting up a conversion action for a campaign.
