Margin Bidding vs POAS in Google Ads: Why Grouping by Margin Isn't the Same as Bidding for Profit

Grouping your campaigns by product margin feels like smart strategy, but it's not the same as actually bidding for profit, and the difference is costing you.
In this episode of the Google Ads Unleashed Podcast, host Jeremy breaks down a real audit finding that exposes why static margin-based campaign structures can't account for the factors that determine whether an order is truly profitable. Shipping costs by location, bulk purchase quantities, return rates, and basket complexity, and why only feeding profit as a conversion value into Google Ads can actually solve this.
Learn why a low-margin product isn't necessarily unprofitable, why a high-margin product hitting your ROAS target can still lose you money, and why the nuance between margin bidding and POAS is one of the most misunderstood distinctions in ecommerce Google Ads.

Google is changing how Target ROAS and Target CPA work in August, and if you do nothing, your campaigns will quietly spend more and perform worse.
In this episode of the Google Ads Unleashed Podcast, host Jeremy breaks down exactly what is changing on August 17th, why your bid targets are shifting from a floor to a magnet that pulls performance toward the number you set, and why accounts that have been comfortably overperforming their targets are the most exposed.
Learn why the conservative targets many advertisers set and forgot are now an open instruction for Google to loosen bids, chase more volume, and close the gap between target and actual performance, at your expense.

Why ROAS Is Lying to You: How to Optimise Google Ads for Profit Instead of Revenue (Target POAS Explained)
21/06/2026 | 18 mins.

ROAS looks great on paper, but if Google can't see your margins, it's quietly pushing your least profitable products and costing you money.
In this episode of the Google Ads Unleashed Podcast, host Jeremy breaks down exactly why ROAS is a flawed optimisation signal for most ecommerce businesses, how to feed profit data directly into the Google Ads algorithm using conversion value rules, server-side tracking via Stape, or Profit Metrics, and why switching to target POAS can completely change which products Google chooses to prioritise.
One client went from hovering at break-even despite a 20x on-platform ROAS to their most profitable week in the agency's entire collaboration, in under seven days of switching to profit-based conversion values. If you're scaling spend but profits aren't following, this episode will show you exactly why and what to do about it.
