Google Ads introduces a New Customer Acquisition feature that lets advertisers assign incremental conversion values to first‑time buyers, influencing bid strategies. By inputting a target ROAS and using average order value, the platform can suggest a higher value—e.g., $46.27 versus a $10 baseline—to prioritize new prospects. Advertisers must upload Customer Match lists of at least 1,000 users, enabling Google to identify lookalike audiences and bid more aggressively for new customers while lowering bids for existing ones. Setting even a nominal incremental value allows reporting of new versus returning conversions.
