Value-based bidding that pays more for leads that become revenue
Value-based bidding lets Google bid toward conversion value, such as pipeline or revenue, instead of conversion count. PlanConversion assigns values by lead quality and stage, sends them from the CRM, and moves to maximize conversion value or target ROAS once the data is reliable, with guardrails.
Built for: Teams with reliable CRM conversion data and enough qualified conversions to support automated bidding.

Value-based bidding: common questions
More Google Ads programs
How many conversions do we need?
Google recommends a meaningful volume of conversions for automated bidding, and the right number depends on the account. If volume is low, we use a nearer-term event, such as qualified lead, as the main signal and add deeper stages as data grows.
Is target ROAS right for B2B?
It can be, when values reflect expected revenue and cycles are not too long. For long cycles, we use proxy values at earlier stages and review them against closed revenue.
