Short answer

Target ROAS (tROAS) is an automated bid strategy that sets bids to maximize conversion value at a chosen return on ad spend. Instead of treating every conversion equally, it bids more for users predicted to generate higher value. It requires accurate conversion values, such as revenue, and enough conversion data for the algorithm to learn.
