But is Adwords conversion optimizer good for you? The answer is it depends.



Pros and Cons are as follows:

Pros:

1. Adwords conversion optimizer recommends Max CPA (maximum cost per acquisition) based on its analysis of your account's historical data and other factors. You can choose to go with what Adwords suggests or you can set Max CPA (maximum cost per acquisition) for each adgroup separately. The option to set your own Max CPA helps advertisers like me save more $$$ for the client as various ad groups contain different products and have different CPA (cost per acquisition).

2. Saves you lots of time, so you can concentrate on other activities of your business.

Cons:

1. Conversion Optimizer doesn't consider the ROAS(Return on Ad Spend) when bidding for you. Ex. You may be selling product A which has lower conversion rate with high profit margin and product B which has higher conversion rate with lower profit margin. Chances are conversion optimizer will display product B ads than product A ads.

2. Once you start running conversion optimizer, you can't change the bids of specific keywords. It makes sense and that's why a user opts for conversion optimizer.

3. Also the following features don't work with Adwords conversion optimizer

? Position preference

? Advanced ad scheduling

? Separate content bids

Use the above information as a starting point when considering using conversion optimizer. It doesn't hurt to try the Adwords optimizer offered by Google. But if you time to spend managing the bids, then I personally recommend not opting for conversion optimizer. This is my opinion only.
