   • Before setting up your conversion action, identify the right category of conversions to be set up based on your business goals.
2. Set up a conversion tracking tag: When you create a conversion action in your Google Ads account, you’ll get a conversion tracking tag.

This tag tracks when someone who's clicked your ad goes to your website and completes an action that you've defined as valuable, such as a purchase or sign-up.
