Google Ads launches Investment Strategy tab to optimize budget allocation

11 days ago

Google Ads launched an Investment Strategy planner for budget-limited campaigns. It helps advertisers decide how to allocate extra budget to maximize performance. Users select a primary metric, set additional weekly investment, and see projected conversions and changes in cost, ROAS, and conversion value per campaign. Campaigns can be selected or deselected to adjust budget allocation. It resembles a "Fix limited by budget" recommendation in a new tool.
