    FAQ

    Asked on almost every call.

    How often does the File drops Google Customer Match sync run?

    You set the cadence, from near-real-time to a nightly File drops sync of your file drops into Google Ads. Since Signals processes only the newly dropped file, Customer Match lists that add joiners and drop lapsed members each sync keeps pace and teams landing POS and back-office exports as files watch the serving-size threshold. One scoped connection sets it up, cadence adjustable later.

    What match rate should a File drops-sourced Google Customer Match batch expect?

    In File drops, match rate tracks the email and phone quality your file drops carry. Clean identifiers land for Google Ads; blank ones never will. The first Customer Match API report shows teams landing POS and back-office exports as files where the serving-size threshold needs work, a data-quality task handled in File drops.
