Profit Bid connects store costs to ad spend so you bid on margin — not vanity ROAS.

Resulting profit: tROAS vs tPOAS

  • Profit @ revenue tROAS
  • Profit @ profit-fed tPOAS

Same campaign, same engine. Feeding profit values turns a flat profit line into a compounding one.

Track POAS 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 POAS' button in Google Ads. You achieve it by uploading profit-weighted conversion values into a Target ROAS 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 tROAS, profit tends to plateau because the system happily scales revenue on low-margin SKUs.

Under profit-fed tPOAS, profit compounds as spend concentrates on margin-rich orders.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this topic — tap to read answers.

Do I need a special campaign type for tPOAS?

No. Keep your Target ROAS campaigns and change the conversion values to profit. Profit Bid automates the upload.

Will my ROAS look worse?

Sometimes slightly — because you stop over-scaling cheap revenue. Profit and POAS improve, which is the point.
