Explanation
Value-based bidding is a form of Smart Bidding that uses Google AI to optimize toward the business value generated by conversions. Its purpose is to maximize conversion value, not just conversion volume, clicks, or visibility. Google Ads supports this approach through strategies such as Maximize conversion value and Target ROAS. That makes machine learning for maximizing conversion value the correct description of how it works.
