- Profit @ revenue target return on ad spend
- Profit @ profit-fed target Profit on Ad Spend
Same campaign, same engine. Feeding profit values turns a flat profit line into a compounding one.
Track Profit on Ad Spend automatically from your store — upload profit conversions and scale winners with A/C/X labels.
It is the same strategy, different fuel
There is no separate 'Target Profit on Ad Spend' button in Google Ads. You achieve it by uploading profit-weighted conversion values into a Target return on ad spend strategy.
The algorithm then bids up high-profit auctions and bids down thin-margin ones — de facto profit bidding.
The outcome over time
Under revenue target return on ad spend, profit tends to plateau because the system happily scales revenue on low-margin SKUs.
Under profit-fed tProfitOnAdSpend, profit compounds as spend concentrates on margin-rich orders.
