Universal Analytics properties will stop processing data on July 1, 2023 (July 1, 2024 for Analytics 360 properties). If you haven't already, start using a Google Analytics 4 property.
The new Search Ads 360 automatically migrates Universal Analytics metrics data from the previous version of Search Ads 360. The new user interface also enables you to link your Search Ads 360 sub-manager account to Google Analytics 4.
