GA4 gives marketers choice in Google Ads conversion credit eligibility
Google is rolling out changes that will give advertisers better insights into conversion performance.
For the first time, marketers working with GA4 will be able to choose which of their channels should be eligible to get conversion credit for web conversions shared with Google Ads. This applies to Google paid channels (formerly, Ads-preferred) and Paid and organic channels (formerly, Cross-channel).
Why we care. This new capability will tell you which channels contribute to a conversion, helping you better understand and measure the impact of your campaigns. This data will prove incredibly useful to advertisers as they’ll be able to create new strategies to increase conversions and revenue with more confidence and certainty.
How it works. Advertisers can view which of their channels are eligible for credit for each conversion in Google Ads, under the Conversions summary, Conversions detail, and Campaigns tabs. In Google Analytics, this information can be found in the Attribution settings page.
Which channels are eligible. There are two channels to be considered in this insatnce:
- Google paid channels: Only Google Ads paid channels are eligible to receive conversion credit.
- Paid and organic channels: Paid and organic channels are eligible to receive conversion credit, but only credit assigned to Google Ads channels will appear in your Google Ads accounts.
Advertisers should note the default channel is Google paid channels, however, marketers do have the option to choose PPC and organic channels instead.
