Part 1: New challenges, new solutions

Today’s curious consumer

Imagine a user who learns about a new mattress brand from a friend. Intrigued, they search for reviews of this brand on YouTube — and discover three other interesting mattress brands after watching related videos on their phone. To compare these brands, the user reads more reviews over the next few days, then finally completes a purchase on their desktop. Today this kind of multi-step, curiosity-driven customer journey is more common than ever.

Google Analytics and Google Ads – The Power Couple

Create insights-driven ads

Google Analytics helps you gain a deeper understanding of your customers and how they’re engaging with your site, content, and products. Analytics gives you powerful insights — and the ability to put them to work quickly thanks to its integration with Google Ads. Google Ads helps you create ads to promote your products or services, then get them in front of people likely to buy from you across Google Search, YouTube, and Google’s network of partner sites and apps.

 

Working together to improve media performance

Seeing the whole picture — and ensuring you know the impact of every impression, click and conversion — is valuable for any marketer. To get this level of visibility, you need to link Google Analytics and Google Ads.
Once you’ve linked Google Analytics and Google Ads, you’ll be able to see detailed data about your ads campaigns right alongside your site metrics and conversion data in Analytics — meaning you no longer have to move between different products to get a full understanding of the customer journey. And once you have those insights, you can quickly build campaigns that are informed by them. You can also bring site engagement data from Analytics into Google Ads for increased visibility, enabling your team to make informed decisions about campaign optimizations. Here’s how you link Google Analytics and Google Ads, step by step.
