Google Ads is piloting a "Customer Journey Insights" card on the Overview page. It shows how many people moved through four stages around your ads: Unaware, Aware, Consider and Act. Google published the help page on **11 November 2026**, and only eligible accounts see the card.

## What we know

- **Confirmed on Google's help page:** [Customer Journey Insights](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/18850198) calls it a reporting card pilot for eligible advertisers (checked 12 Nov 2026).
- **Who is eligible:** accounts running Performance Max, Search or Shopping, with ads on Search, Shopping, Discover Feed or YouTube inside Performance Max ([Search Engine Roundtable](https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ads-customer-journey-insights-42510.html), 11 November).
- **Where it sits:** on the Overview home page by default, and you can add it to custom views. It stays hidden if the campaign is not eligible or data is missing.
- **Two tabs:** Customer journey, which counts unique users in each stage before and after an ad ran, and User actions, which totals leading actions such as branded searches or add to cart.

| Stage | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Unaware | Users who had not yet interacted |
| Aware | Users who first interacted |
| Consider | Users who showed interest |
| Act | Users who converted |

The stage rows above follow the four stage names on Google's page. We did not find Google's exact stage definitions.

## What it means for your ad account

The card shows people who convert later, not only people who buy at once. Say a shop sells INR 4,000 jackets. Many buyers search the brand name first, buy days later and look like "direct" sales. This card is meant to show that earlier step. It is a pilot, so numbers may change and Google has not said how it will bill or optimise on it.

## What to do this week

1. **Open Overview** and look for the card. If it is missing, your campaigns are probably not eligible.
2. **Note your stage counts** today so you have a baseline.
3. **Check the leading actions** on the User actions tab, such as branded searches.
4. **Do not change bids on this alone.** Google gives no target to hit.
5. **Compare with your own sales data** and your [attribution window](/glossary/attribution-window).
6. **Read how AI helps** in [how to analyze ads with AI](/guides/how-to-analyze-ads-with-ai).

## FAQ

### Is Customer Journey Insights available in India?

Google's help page ties it to eligible advertisers, not to countries. We did not find a country list.

### Does it change how Google bids?

Google has not said so. It is described as a reporting card.

### Why can't I see it?

You may not be in the pilot, your campaign type may not qualify, or the data may be unavailable. Google hides the card in those cases.
