So you've got your AdWords campaign up and running,
and your ads and keywords are starting to generate an
impressive number of clicks. Great! But unless you've
got conversion tracking installed, you won't be able to
see how many of those clicks are actually resulting in
sales.
Conversion tracking is a powerful tool in AdWords that
lets you identify how well your ad campaign is
generating leads, sales, downloads, sign-ups, and other
key actions for your business. The data recorded by
conversion tracking allows you to identify which areas
of your campaign are working and not working, so you
can optimize your bids, ad text, and keywords
accordingly.
Depending on your business, a conversion could be counted
when a customer makes a purchase through your website, signs
up for a newsletter, fills out an online survey or contact form,
downloads an app or whitepaper, calls a phone number from a
mobile phone, and so on. After you've identified what customer
actions you want to track as conversions, it takes just a few
simple and free steps to get conversion tracking up and running
for your campaign.
AdWords Conversion Tracking: The Basic Setup
Setting up conversion tracking involves generating a bit of HTML
code in AdWords that you paste into the webpage on your site
that customers visit immediately after completing the conversion
(such as an "Order Confirmation" or "Thanks for Your Email"
page).
To get started, click on the Tools and Analysis tab in AdWords, and
select Conversions from the drop-down menu, which brings up
the All conversions page. Click on the Conversions tab, then click
the +Conversion button to create your first conversion.
You'll be prompted to fill out a form that will help AdWords
generate the appropriate HTML code for you to paste into your
webpage.
Give the conversion a name, such as "Contact Form submissions" if
you want to track how many times visitors fill out your site's
Contact Us form.
Next, select the source of the conversion. Your choices are:
1) Webpage. (If you want customers to complete an action on
your webpage, such as an online purchase, contact form
submission, or page visit.)
2) Call on-site. (If you want customers to call the phone number
on your site from a mobile device.)
3) App download. (If you want customers to download your app.)
To get started, click on the Tools and Analysis tab in AdWords, and select Conversions
from the drop-down menu, which brings up the All conversions page. Click on the
Conversions tab, then click the +Conversion button to create your first conversion.
You'll be prompted to fill out a form that will help AdWords generate the appropriate
HTML code for you to paste into your webpage.
Give the conversion a name, such as "Contact Form submissions" if you want to track
how many times visitors fill out your site's Contact Us form.
Next, select the source of the conversion. Your choices are:
1) Webpage. (If you want customers to complete an action on your webpage, such as
an online purchase, contact form submission, or page visit.)
2) Call on-site. (If you want customers to call the phone number on your site from a
mobile device.)
3) App download. (If you want customers to download your app.)
Choose the most accurate conversion category from the drop-down menu:
Purchase/Sale, Signup, Lead, View of a key page (i.e. the Contact Us page), or Other.
(Click image to enlarge.)
Select the Markup language. HTML is the standard choice, but
check with your web developer if one of the other alternatives
(CHTML, XHTML, WML) would be more appropriate – especially if
you're running a mobile site.
Next, enter a value for the conversion. You can assign an amount
manually, such as 10 if you're selling e-books for $10 each.
Tracking indicator
Enabling the tracking indicator causes an unobtrusive message to
appear on your site letting visitors know that their visits to your
site are being tracked by Google. Displaying it is optional, and
you can opt out of showing the message by selecting the "Don't
add a notification to the code generated for my page" option. If
you do select it (by default, the selection is "yes") you can
replace the standard message with your own, and customize the
message's appearance by changing the size (single line of text vs.
two lines), page background color, and language.
On the next page, you'll receive an HTML code that you'll need to
paste into the page on your site that you want to track the
conversion for, such as the "Thanks for Visiting" page.
Analyzing Conversion Data with Search Funnels
Once conversion tracking has been up and running for a couple of
weeks, you can use the Search Funnels analytics to track detailed
data about your conversions such as how much time elapsed
between when customers clicked on your ad for the first time to
when they completed the conversion, and how many times they
saw your ad before converting.
Access Search Funnels by clicking Tools and Analysis, then
Conversions, then clicking the Search Funnels link at the lower
left of the Conversions window.
Analyzing this data can help you gain insights about how
customers behave on your website, such as how much time
elapsed between when they clicked on your ad for the first time
to when they completed the conversion, and how many times
they saw your ads before converting.
