Frequently
Asked Questions

How does conversion tracking work?

Conversion tracking works by tracking what people do once they get to your website after clicking on your ads. You can define the action you want to track as a conversion goal, such as a purchase, a sign-up, a call, or a download1. Then, you can use a tracking code or tag to collect data from your website and measure how many conversions your ads have driven.

Conversion tracking also helps you attribute the credit of one or more conversions to your ad campaigns, ad groups, and keywords. This is called conversion attribution1. There are different attribution models that you can use to assign credit to your ad clicks, such as last click, first click, linear, time decay, data-driven, etc.

Conversion tracking can help you optimize your ad campaigns, understand your return on investment (ROI), and improve your website user experience

What are the different types of conversion actions I can track?

There are different types of conversion actions that you can track depending on your business goals and the actions that customers take after interacting with your ads. Some of the common types of conversion actions are:

  • Website actions: These are actions that customers complete on your website, such as purchases, sign-ups, button clicks, or other valuable activities.
  • App actions: These are actions that customers complete in your app or on the app store, such as app installs, app purchases, or in-app events.
  • Phone calls: These are calls that customers make to your business after seeing or clicking on your ads. You can track calls from ads, calls to a phone number on your website, or clicks on a phone number on your mobile website.
  • Imported conversions: These are conversions that happen offline or outside of your website or app, such as store visits, sales from a CRM system, or conversions from other data sources. You can import these conversions into Google Ads using different methods.
What is a conversion?

A conversion is the proportion of people viewing an advertisement and going on to buy the product, and click on a link. It is a measure of how effective your marketing campaign is at turning potential customers into actual customers.

For example, if 100 people see your ad and 10 of them click on it and buy your product, your conversion rate is 10%. A high conversion rate means that your marketing strategy is successful and profitable.

There are many factors that can influence your conversion rate. Some example factors are:

  • The design and copy of your ad and landing page.
  • The relevance and value of your product or service to your target audience.
  • The ease and security of the checkout process.
  • The incentives and offers you provide to your customers.
