Campaign is ~2 weeks old target CPA is set to $150 and it got me 8 conversions at $100 cpa google's target CPA simulator says i can get 10 conversions at $75 CPA should the target cpa simulator be trusted and will it be ok for me to lower the target CPA from $150 to $75 ? or is lowering it a risky move? :)
