Remove or resume a Floodlight activity

To hide a Floodlight activity from Search Ads 360 and Campaign Manager 360 reports, you can remove the activity. If you want to see the activity again, you can resume it.

• If you remove a Floodlight activity:

  • The activity and its metrics will not appear in reports by default. To display the metrics in Search Ads 360, from the Show list that appears below the Floodlight activities tab, select Show all.

  • You cannot view details for a bid strategy that includes the Floodlight activity as one of its conversion targets.

  • You cannot view formula columns or Floodlight columns that include the Floodlight activity.

  • Removing an activity does not prevent Floodlight from counting conversions and including the data in Campaign Manager 360 reports that show aggregate conversions. To stop a Floodlight activity from being counted, remove the Floodlight tags from your website.

• If you resume a removed Floodlight activity, it will reappear in the default view as Active.

Only an agency manager or advertiser manager can change the status of Floodlight activities in Search Ads 360.
