Create a new conversion

Conversions can no longer be created in AdMob. The Conversions table will continue to display a read-only list of the conversions you’ve created in AdMob and Google Ads. 

Going forward, all conversions should be created in Google Ads and tracked using the Firebase SDK. If you’re setting up conversion tracking in Google Ads for the first time, follow the instructions to track conversions with Firebase.

 

Conversion tracking is a tool in AdMob that helps you measure the effectiveness of your campaigns by recording conversion events in your mobile apps.

Before you get started

Things to keep in mind before setting up conversion tracking:

• Conversion types: You can set up only one app install (from Google Play) conversion and one app install (first open) conversion per app at any given time. Example: "The Best App Ever!" can only have one app install (first open) conversion associated with it. Trying to make a second app install (first open) conversion for "The Best App Ever!" results in an error.
• Android apps: No app updates required for App install (from Google Play) conversions. For other conversion types, you'll need to include a conversion tracking snippet in your app's code.
• iOS apps: You'll need to include a conversion tracking snippet in your app's code.
