Report on Google Ads conversions

If you're using Google Ads conversion tracking you can report on these conversions in Search Ads 360 by adding Google Ads conversion columns to your reporting tables. Search Ads 360 provides several columns that report the total number of conversions recorded by all Google Ads conversion trackers. You can also report on specific types of conversions, such as sign-ups, phone calls, or mobile app installs by creating custom Google Ads conversion columns.

Reporting "All conversions" in Search Ads 360

Both Google Ads and Search Ads 360 provide columns that report on the full range of conversions recorded by Google Ads conversion tracking, including web site conversions, cross-environment conversions, store visits, and most other types of Google Ads conversions.

In Search Ads 360, these columns are available at all levels (for example, advertiser, engine account, campaign, ad group, ad, and keyword), but note the following restrictions for reports below the ad group level:

• Reporting data is available starting from July 1, 2017 onward. For example, if you add the AW All Conv column to the Keywords tab, only conversions that occurred on or after July 1, 2017 are counted in the column. If you navigate to the Ad groups tab, conversions for the entire history of the ad group are counted in the column.
• Desktop call conversions are not available. (Desktop call conversions occur when users call a Google forwarding number displayed on a desktop ad). For example, if you add the AW All Conv column to the Keywords tab, desktop call conversions are not counted in the column. If you navigate to the Ad groups tab, these conversions are counted in the column.

You can segment a report that includes "All conversions" columns, just as you can segment a report that includes Google Ads "Conversions" columns, with one exception:

• Hourly reporting isn't available for columns that report All conversions.
  For example, if you add the AW All Conv column to the Keywords tab and add the Hour of day segment, the All AW Conv column reports zero. By contrast, the AW Conversions column would report on the number of Google Ads "Conversions" recorded per hour.
