The Conversion Funnel method allows you to profile the relative value and importance of impressions, clicks, conversions or revenue to your business. You can do so using either of two modes:

1. Basic Mode
Basic Mode allows you to set:
• Priorities for events in the sales funnel using qualitative importance levels such as: High, Medium, Low or Not Important.
• A preferred ad position in the results.
• How much you will let the optimizer bid on keywords in the campaign or ad groups.

2. Advanced Mode
• Advanced mode includes the same features as basic mode, plus the ability to set monetary values to establish the value of events in the sales funnel.
