I recently discovered that Google Ads is elevating the game for advertisers by automatically enabling conversion-based customer lists for those who qualify. This intriguing update aims to start processing data on August 18th.
As part of this change, advertisers who are already utilizing both Enhanced Conversions and Customer Match but have not yet switched on conversion-based customer lists will benefit from this automatic feature enhancement.

Why this matters to us. In a landscape where privacy changes are constantly evolving, advertisers are being gently nudged to lean on first-party data. Conversion-based customer lists offer a fresh approach to build audiences using data collected from existing conversions.
This feature could be a game-changer, allowing advertisers to create highly relevant audience segments and boost campaign performance—and all of this without any extra implementation work.
Here’s the scoop. If you’re eligible, relax; you won’t need to do anything to enjoy the benefits. Starting on August 18th, Google will kick-start data processing and automatically make these lists available within your account.
Advertisers then have the opportunity to decide whether to integrate these audiences into their campaigns and ad groups, molding their targeting strategies accordingly.
But wait, there’s more! If for some reason this auto-feature doesn’t appeal to you, opting out is simple. Just disable conversion-based customer lists in your account settings before August 18th. Otherwise, Google will go ahead with generating these lists automatically.
Heads up. This update was initially discovered by Menachem Ani, the Founder of JXT Group. Menachem shared his insights in communications that he posted on X.
