A retail advertiser needs to group a specific selection of Floodlight activities into a single reporting view to analyze their performance more efficiently. Which Search Ads 360 feature provides the capability to aggregate these individual metrics into a unified measurement?
- Custom variable adjustments, which permit the manual weighting of conversion values based on the original engine’s attribution model.
- Custom conversion columns, which allow for the grouping of specific conversion actions and segments into a single reporting metric.
- Custom executive summaries, which provide an automated narrative overview of top-performing conversion trends across multiple sub-manager accounts.
- Custom dimension attributes, which provide the ability to tag individual campaigns with static labels for easier filtering and sorting.
Explanation
In Search Ads 360, custom conversion columns are used to report on conversions tracked by selected conversion actions or Floodlight activity groups. When creating one, the platform lets the advertiser choose the specific Floodlight activities or Floodlight groups whose data should be included in that single column. This creates one unified reporting metric from multiple individual conversion sources, which is exactly what is needed for aggregated performance analysis. The feature is built for reporting consolidation, not for tagging entities or changing conversion value logic. Google Help+2Google Help+2
Why the other options are incorrect

Custom executive summaries is incorrect because Search Ads 360 documentation for this task points to reporting columns, not an automated narrative feature for combining Floodlight metrics. Google Help+1
Custom variable adjustments change reported conversion value based on rules and conditions, but they do not group multiple conversion actions into a single reporting column. Google Help+1
