Module 9: Advanced bidding and automation

Notes for offline study · 3 November 2026

Smart bidding: target CPA and target ROAS

Key points

  • Target CPA bids to get conversions at an average cost you set.
  • Target ROAS bids to reach a return on ad spend based on conversion value.
  • Both need reliable conversion tracking and enough conversion data.

Automated rules and Google Ads scripts

Key points

  • Automated rules change bids, budgets or status on a schedule or condition.
  • Scripts use JavaScript to automate tasks and reports across the account.
  • Test scripts in preview mode before letting them make changes.

Audience signals and Customer Match

Key points

  • Audience signals guide Performance Max towards likely customers.
  • Customer Match uses your own customer lists, uploaded under Google's policies.
  • Signals are hints; automation can still reach people outside them.

Experiments in Google Ads

Key points

  • Experiments split traffic between a base campaign and a trial version.
  • Change one thing at a time so the result is clear.
  • Wait for enough data before applying the winning version.
