As an experienced PPC Agency, we know that setting up an ad on the web doesn’t always guarantee you’ll make a sale online. Sometimes people start their journey online and convert offline, such as by calling or visiting your location for discussions about products and services they saw in one of your ads.
The results of your offline marketing campaign can now be measured with the help of Google Ads. This will allow you to see how many people converted into customers after clicking on an ad, as well as what kind of products or services they were interested in buying online based on their browsing history before coming into contact with a promotional banner advertisement for example.
Google’s new conversion import feature will let you see what happens in the offline world after someone clicks on your ads. The instructions in this article will show you how to set up your Google Ads account and website so that they can track offline conversions from imports. After following these steps, when it comes time for an import all of the conversion data should be imported into a single campaign within Google Ads.
Benefits Of Tracking
Importing offline conversion events will give you a more comprehensive look at which keywords and targeting, allowing for better insight into your marketing strategy. The key to high conversion rates is understanding each visitor’s profile (geography or time) drives more conversions. With this information, you will be able to fine-tune your campaign for increased profit.
