I can plan this for Bluefin Pools. Before I say yes or no to any import, I need your real setup, so each customer action feeds bidding once and nothing counts twice. I will not import anything or change any setting; every change stays HELD until you approve it.
Required, please paste:
- key_events: your GA4 key events, with each name, what fires it, and whether a value is sent. Each one gets a yes or no, so I need them all.
- ads_conversions: your Google Ads conversion actions, with each name, source, primary or secondary, and count setting. I compare these to your key events to find pairs that measure the same action and could count twice if both are Primary.
- goal: what you want bidding to optimize for, in your own words (for example a booked consultation or an online sale). Key events that do not match the goal stay out or come in as Secondary.
- link_status: whether GA4 is linked to Google Ads, and your access level in each. If they are not linked, the import cannot be planned yet, so I stop there.
Optional:
- bid_strategy: your current bid strategy. Default: unknown. I will add a note that Smart Bidding has a standard learning phase and that frequent goal changes reset it, so the timing of changes can be planned around that.
You said "GA4 conversions", so please send the exact names shown in your GA4 key events list.
Once you paste these, I will return what I used, a key event map, a held import plan with count, primary or secondary and value per import, the counts, and any open questions.
