  <Step title="Set the action as secondary">
    Then click on **Conversion action optimization options** to expand and select **Secondary action not used for bidding optimization**.

    <Info>
      We initially run the conversion actions in secondary mode because conversion actions in Google Ads require a certain volume of data to optimize performance effectively. By keeping your existing conversion action as the primary one and running it alongside Eyk for approximately two weeks, you can ensure a seamless transition.
