When you decide to invest in paid marketing like Google Ads, you need a way to track how well it\u2019s working. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, Google does a pretty good job of providing helpful analytics that make it easy to figure out your ROI and look for ways to improve your campaigns for better results over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What You Can Learn from Google Ads Analytics<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google understands the importance of analytics, so they make sure businesses that advertise with them get the data they need to properly track the success of each ad and campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Google Ads\u2019 client reports, you\u2019ll be able to see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Clicks   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of times people clicked on each of your ads, and the number of total clicks for each campaign. This is the main metric that lets you know whether your ads are doing their main job: getting people to notice your link and convincing them to click through. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Click-through rate (CTR)   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How the number of clicks compares to the number of times your ad was shown.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Impressions   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many times your ad was seen.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Impression share   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is Google\u2019s calculation of how your impressions compare with the number of times your ad could potentially have been seen based on how many searches met your criteria. It lets you know if spending a little more could make a big difference to how often your ads show up. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Average position &#8211; \u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your ad shows up alongside a few other PPC ads, gaining the top spot will be more valuable than being second or third. This tells you where in the listing your ad shows up on average. If you\u2019d prefer to be higher, then it pays to spend more. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Average cost-per-click  <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Google Ads uses a bidding pricing model, the amount you pay for each click will depend on how competitive your keywords and placements are at any given moment. This metric lets you know how much you\u2019re generally paying for each click.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Quality Score  <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google wants to deliver good, relevant ads to its searchers. Therefore, in addition to budget, their program looks at how well your ads are performing and determines a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppchero.com\/ultimate-guide-to-adwords-quality-score\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quality score<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that influences how often they\u2019ll show up and how much you pay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Converted clicks   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicks are nice, but ultimately you want each person clicking to take an action such as signing up for your email list or making a purchase. Google Ads will help you track how many of the visitors who come to your website through an ad follow through with the actions you desire.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Conversion rate   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This shows the comparison between the number of clicks and the number of times they lead to your desired actions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Average cost per conversion   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google makes it easy for you to figure out how much each conversion is costing you by providing a comparison between the amount you\u2019re spending on ads and the number of conversions they\u2019re bringing you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These metrics will teach you how to recognize what works best in your ad campaigns and how your spending pays off in specific terms. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Get More By Linking Google Analytics to Google Ads<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads provides you with a lot of good data, but you can get even more valuable information about the success of your ads by connecting your Google Ads account to your Google Analytics account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where Google Ads tracks how people interact with your ads, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/why-use-google-analytics\/\">Google Analytics provides a wealth of data<\/a> on what people do once they\u2019ve clicked through to your website. \u00a0When the two accounts are linked, you\u2019ll start to see some of the data from Google Analytics in your Google Ads account and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(First, you&#8217;ll need to add Google Analytics to your WordPress site. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/add-google-analytics-wordpress-website\/\">Here&#8217;s how to do that.<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in Google Ads, you\u2019ll start to be able to see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Bounce rate   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often visitors who click on your ad leave your website before moving to another page on the site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Pages per session   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many pages and which one visitors go to after landing on your website from an ad.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Average session duration   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long your PPC visitors typically spend on the website before leaving.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>% New sessions   <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many of your PPC visitors are coming to your website for the first time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, you\u2019ll be able to connect the data for conversion tracking you\u2019ve set up in Google Analytics to the data you have in Google Ads, to better see the full journey your PPC visitors take from the time they click on an ad to when they take the actions you\u2019ve determined are most valuable. And the data that Google Analytics tracks on demographics and user behavior from your site visitors can be used to further strengthen your remarketing efforts in Google Ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, the more information you have and the better you\u2019re able to connect it, the more you\u2019ll be able to refine your ad campaigns to get the results you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Track Your Results with Expert Google Ads Management<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advertising with Google is often a great way to reach a new audience and get more visitors to your website. But you can get so much more out of your advertising when you make use of the data Google provides to learn as you go and make your campaigns continually better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to get more out of your Google Ads campaigns? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/services\/ppc\">Learn about HostGator&#8217;s Google Ads services.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Measure the Performance of Your Google Ads Your marketing budget is limited.
