Conversion tracking measures the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns by tracking user interactions that lead to specific business goals, such as purchases, form submissions, or app installs.
Macro conversions are primary business goals like sales or subscriptions. Micro conversions are smaller, often preliminary steps that lead to macro conversions, such as clicking a “Sign Up” button or viewing a pricing page.
Conversion tracking can be set up using tools like Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4. The process involves creating tags, triggers, and data layers to track various interactions on your website.
The data layer is essential for passing detailed data from your website to GTM, allowing you to track specific user actions and interactions accurately. It enables the integration of additional data into tools like Google Analytics and Google Ads.
Yes, a data layer can be used with various platforms, including Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insights, and more. It helps centralise tracking data in one place for easy management.
Google Tag Manager simplifies the process of implementing and managing tags, allowing you to update tracking codes without altering the website’s code. It also helps centralise all tracking data and streamline campaign optimisations.
To track conversions across devices, use cross-device tracking features in Google Analytics 4 and ensure your tags and data layers are set up to capture sessions and interactions on different devices.
Consider your business goals, the actions most valuable to your business, and which interactions are likely to lead to those goals. For e-commerce, focus on sales; for B2B, look at form submissions or subscriptions.
By accurately tracking conversions, you can see which campaigns, keywords, or ad creatives are performing best. This allows for data-driven adjustments to improve ROI and achieve better campaign results.
First, check that all tracking tags and data layers are correctly implemented and firing properly. Verify that your data layer variables are accurately capturing the required information. If issues persist, consider testing different configurations or seeking help.
