S E T U P 1 . A D M I N R I G H T S #
Make sure the Google Account !
you use has sufficient Admin rights !
on both Adwords & the Analytics !
account/property that will receive traffic !
from the Adwords campaigns.!
S E T U P 2 . L I N K #
Link GA to Adwords. !
This can be done in both interfaces.!
on GA property level!
or !
on Adwords account level!
S E T U P 3 . A U T O - T A G #
For Analytics to be able to understand &
connect Adwords data it is essential that
Auto-tagging is switched on.!
!
Beware, default is off.!
The setting can be found in the Adwords!
account preferences.!
S E T U P 4 . G O A L S ! #
To unleash the power of both products!
it is essential to setup Goals and/or
ecommerce tracking in GA.!
!
!
Of course, !
only if you have not done this already.!
S E T U P 5 . I M P O R T G O A L S #
Often forgotten.!
It is not only important to have Goals
defined in GA. !
In Adwords you must also select & Import
the Goals that you want to use to optimise
the Adwords campaign & automated
bidding rules.!
Adwords > Tools > Conversions > GA!
S E T U P 6 . A T T R I B U T I O N #
For those with ecommerce stores or
typically longer customer journey’s &
conversion funnels we strongly advise to
invest in Customer Journey Analysis and
configure the right attribution model for
the business.!
Analytics + Adwords
3 good reasons Why
W H Y 1 . K I S S#
Combining Adwords & Analytics is the
easiest, most flexible & transparent
way for companies to start running
programmatic campaigns without the
complexity, lack of transparency &
often hidden costs.!
W H Y 1 . K I S S#
Audience list creation in GA !
only limited by your imagination.!
W H Y ? 1 . K I S S#
Audience list targeting, management
& insights in Adwords!
W H Y ? 2 . D A T A
E X C H A N G E C R E A T E S I N S I G H T#
Some optimization insights can only
be generated by combining data from
different sources in one view.!
e.g. Adding New Visitor % or Bounce
rate to the Keyword report in Adwords!
GA data can be used to configure
Automatic bidding rules in Adwords.!
W H Y ? 2 . D A T A
E X C H A N G E C R E A T E S I N S I G H T#My favorites in the GA Adwords report:!
- Campaign Treemap analysis!
- The New, Ad Sitelink Report !
- Bid Adjustment impact report!
- Hour of day analysis!
- Search Queries !
Tip: add keyword as second dimension!
W H Y ? 3 . A G I L E
M A R K E T I N G#
GA & Adwords are a powerful couple,
but without a Strategy child with DNA
elements of Content, Design Thinking &
Persuasion you’ll never become truly
successful. Enabling employees &
teams to collaborate & experiment in all
3 area’s will create lasting success.!
User Experience!Content!
Experiments!Persuasion!
Efficiency!
Traffic!Quantity!
Traffic!Quality!
Analytics & Adwords a DNS Belgium case
As a small business owner or entrepreneur with little knowledge about web or domain names I become inspired, look up & register new or additional website domains because DNS Belgium has triggered me to investigate & helped me to understand the complex world of domain names & digital marketing through well targeted & relevant communication. !
Campaign goal as !Epic User Story !(Who, What, Why)!
The 3 roles of DNS Belgium!
INSPIRE! HELP! ACTIVATE!
In Google metric terms this would be!!
