Importance of Conversion Tracking
Implementing Google Ads (AdWords) conversion pixel or tracking code is extremely important for running successful Google Ads (AdWords) campaigns. You can optimise your shopping, search or display campaigns only if you have the exact conversions data.
The new conversion tracking code released by Google in October 2017 is extremely hard to implement. One part of the tag (GTag) should be fired in all pages and another tag (conversion tag) should only be fired in the checkout page. Implementing Conversion Tracking code manually usually results in one or more errors.
Common Google Ads Conversion Tracking Errors
Some of the major problems we have seen happening are as follows:
-
Duplicate conversions – conversions are counted multiple times instead of one resulting in an exaggerated view of the performance. This can also occur if the code is in any page other than checkout.
-
No conversion value – Most advertisers fail to successfully pass conversion value back to Google Ads (AdWords). Conversion value is important in optimising for ROI as the amount you would want to spend on a product of $5 will be very different from another of $100.
-
Incorrect code or tracking errors – This happens when advertisers make a mistake while creating the script. No conversions will be recorded in Google Ads (AdWords) in this case.
