Why Google Ads & Google Analytics Data Don’t Match & How to Fix It

Uncategorized

Are you not getting the exact idea of conversions due to the difference between the statistics of Google Analytics and Google Ads?

 

Let’s investigate the cause and get an idea of how to resolve it. The discrepancy may be very little but it can lead to a major problem.

What is Google Analytics?

Google Analytics is a kind of web analytics which offers statistics and basic tools for boosting your SEO results for conversions. The service is included in the Google Marketing Platform and assists you to know about the performance of your websites.

What is Google Ad Service?

Google ad service is a paid service which is also there to enhance your sales. You can run single or multiple ads according to your requirements. Google Ad Analysis is done to know how is the performance of the particular ad.

There are several reasons mentioned below to elucidate the causes why these discrepancies occur:
  1. They both have different ways of conversions,  Google Ads probes into the last click on Google ads whereas Analytics monitors the last click by varied channels
  2. The transaction dates of both are divergent, Google ads inform conversion in opposition to the date and time that takes you to the conversion whereas analytics take the exact date and time of lead conversion.
  3. Time difference is also another reason Google ads tracking reveals the data in three hours whereas Analytics reveal the results in 9 hours.
  4. Different account levels can also be the cause, like there can be individual accounts or multiple accounts in Google ads, on the contrary Analytics only checks the trends and behaviour of the masses at the property level.
  5. Sessions do not have the same time duration which is also a significant cause that can create a discrepancy in the consequences.
  6. A common unethical practice is to make a deliberate unscrupulous attempt to redirect the links to your site and the Google Click id is banned due to this, so a gap occurs.
How to make the data better and qualitative and how to bridge the gap between the data of Google Analytics and Google ads?
  1. The initial thing to observe is that both Google Ads and Analytics accounts are interlinked to each other, this will bridge the gap.
  2. If there is a manual tagging system then avoid it and enable auto-tagging.
  3.  Include click and session metrics.
  4.  Adopt call tracking solutions to calibrate what is the state of call conversions.
  5. Broaden your area and click tracking in Google Ads and Analytics

  6. Capture all communications and get the idea of every detail like the source of the initial and last click.
  7. Analytics are a little complex, so to simplify, feature back to sales journeys on Google ads.

  8. Join in with Google Ads with CRM or similar data sources to be aware of the actual conversion path.
  9. some problems may arise with URL tracking, and if this tracking is done at par then there will be great decision-making. So the setting up must be done well.
  10. Missing Analytical code is to be set if it is not there or does not work properly.
  11. Eradicate GA tracking from the website, which can be a real mess.
  12. Deliberate attempts of redirecting are wrong practices, which can also create data gaps.

     If the gap is to be bridged then one must know that Google Ads are not supporting call and offline tracking and that is possible only in Analytics, so to eradicate the gap online tracking is to be done.

  13. Both accounts ought to be linked properly.
  14. Check your landing page, if it is re-directed properly or not. Sometimes the re-directing is done on a different page and that spoils the story.
  15. Always acutely monitor import and export settings, as few websites hinder the process of arbitrary parameters and cause error pages.
  16. Bridge the gaps between the tracking of landing pages and Analytics as well as Google ads.
  17. The final reason behind this may be that you have oodles of Google Ads and data of the Google analytics do not match at all with Google ads.

The difference between Google Ads and Google Analytics can sometimes take the organisation away from the perks which they can get from analysing data. SEO results also do not turn up as required due to improper study of the data.
