Over a decade in the past, Enhanced CPC, our first Good Bidding technique, was launched. Since then, we have launched extra subtle machine learning-driven bid methods like Maximize conversions with an non-obligatory goal CPA, and Maximize conversion worth with an non-obligatory goal ROAS. These methods have the potential to ship comparable or superior outcomes. As we transition to those improved methods, Search and Show Adverts campaigns will section out Enhanced CPC.
