What are Google Ads Enhanced Conversions?
Google Ads Enhanced Conversions are an advanced tracking feature that allows advertisers to capture additional conversion data beyond standard conversions.
While standard conversions typically track basic actions such as website visits or form submissions, Enhanced Conversions provide more detailed insights into user behaviour, including phone calls, app installs, and in-app actions.
Why Implement Google Ads Enhanced Conversions?
-
Better Attribution: Enhanced Conversions provide a more accurate attribution model by tracking a wider range of user interactions. This enables marketers to better understand the customer journey and allocate advertising spend more effectively.
-
Deeper Insights: By capturing additional conversion data, marketers gain deeper insights into user behaviour and campaign performance. This allows for more informed decision-making and optimisation strategies.
-
Optimised Targeting: With access to more granular conversion data, advertisers can refine their targeting strategies and tailor their campaigns to specific audience segments. This leads to higher engagement and conversion rates.
-
Improved ROI: By accurately tracking a diverse range of conversions, marketers can optimise their campaigns to maximise return on investment (ROI). This results in more efficient ad spend and increased profitability.
