Google Ads
Google Ads is Google’s online advertising program where you can create online ads to reach people exactly when they’re interested in the products and services that you offer. It is a Google product that you can use to promote your business, help sell products or services, and increase traffic to your website. Google also allows you to track your conversions by using global site tags and event snippet. To learn more about Google Ads and how it works, click here.

Google Ads conversion rates tracking
To measure how much your business benefited from your ad campaign, Google Ads allows you to track your conversion rate through global site tags and event snippets. Using the global site tag sets new cookies on your domain, which will store a unique identifier for a user or the ad click that brought a user to your site. This ensures that Google Ads can measure conversions more accurately. The global site tag lets you specify which interactions with your website should be counted as Google Ads conversions. Both global site tags and event snippets work together to track your conversion accurately.
