Google has rolled out a helpful update for advertisers: if your Google Ads account isn’t linked with Google Analytics, you may now see a one-click recommendation to connect the two.
This feature appears under the Recommendations tab in your Google Ads Campaigns dashboard, making it simpler than ever to bridge the gap between ads performance data and website analytics.
How It Works
- If Google detects an unlinked Analytics property, it will suggest linking it.
- All you need to do is click Apply, and the integration will be done instantly.
- Once linked, you can get deeper insights into user behavior, campaign effectiveness, and conversion paths.
Why It Matters
According to Google, advertisers who connect Google Ads (or Google Marketing Platform) accounts with Google Analytics see:
- 23% increase in conversions
- 10% lower cost per conversion
Even if you take these numbers with a grain of salt, the importance of tracking campaign success with GA4 (or another analytics tool) cannot be overstated. Without it, you’re essentially flying blind.
