Linking Google Ads with your Google Analytics account helps advertisers understand consumer behaviour on the website, post clicking on the ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you have your ads running on Google Ads, you would want to evaluate if it has resulted in a positive action by the user. You would also want to know whether there were any loopholes in the post-ad-click activity. With Google Analytics you can get answers to question such as whether the pages the user engaged with was interactive (by evaluating the bounce rate, time spent on the page, etc.), whether they completed any goal defined by you (by looking at the conversions) and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
