How Google Ads Performance Max uses Search Ads 360 conversion data to help you reach your goals

Google Ads Performance Max uses machine learning models to optimise bids and placements in order to drive conversions or conversion value for your goals, but you provide important inputs about what types of conversions are most valuable to your business – like the conversion activities that you’ve set up in Search Ads 360 Conversions. By sharing these conversion activities with your Google Ads Performance Max campaign, Performance Max will automatically optimise Smart Bidding to prioritise those types of conversions.

For example:
Let's say that one of your goals is to have customers sign up for your newsletter, so you set up your Search Ads 360 conversion activities to measure newsletter signups. By sharing your Search Ads 360 conversion activities with your Google Ads Performance Max campaign, Performance Max will optimise to show your ads to people who are likely to click your ad and sign up for your newsletter.
