This greatly helps businesses that only focus on controlling their advertising expenses. With this new GA4 feature, you can spend only your conversion credits on paid Google Ads channels. Doing so will help you understand your ROI (Return on Investment) from your advertising efforts. 

In addition, this allows credit to be spent on both organic and paid channels, allowing you to see the journey of the customer through the marketing and advertising funnel. It also helps you understand which marketing tactics are driving your conversions.

If you wish to use this setting on Google Analytics 4, here’s what you need to do:

1. First, log in to your GA4 account.
2. Next, click on the Admin option.
3. Now, go to Attribution Settings.
4. Here, you will find an option: “Which channels can you assign credit for your web conversions imported into Google Ads?” You can select either Google Paid Channels or Paid and Organic Channels from this option.
5. Finally, click on Save to apply these changes.

However, as mentioned earlier, the change might take two to three days to reflect in your Google Ads account.
