How do I enable cross-account conversion tracking on Google Ads?

Published in Google Ads 2 mins read

You can't directly enable cross-account conversion tracking within Google Ads. However, you can achieve similar functionality using Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads conversion imports. Here's how:

1. Set up Google Analytics 4

  • Create a Google Analytics 4 property if you don't already have one.
  • Link your Google Ads account to your Google Analytics 4 property.
  • Ensure that your Google Analytics 4 property is tracking conversions that you want to monitor across accounts.

2. Import conversions from Google Analytics 4 to Google Ads

  • Go to your Google Ads account.
  • Navigate to Tools & settings > Conversion actions.
  • Click + New and select Import from Google Analytics.
  • Choose your Google Analytics 4 property and select the conversions you want to import.
  • Set up the conversion action settings (e.g., name, value, attribution model).

3. Monitor cross-account conversions

  • You can now view your imported conversions in your Google Ads account.
  • Use the Conversions report to analyze the performance of your campaigns across different accounts.

Example:

Let's say you have two Google Ads accounts: one for your website and another for your mobile app. You want to track conversions from both accounts in a single dashboard. You can set up Google Analytics 4 to track conversions on both your website and app. Then, import these conversions into your Google Ads account, allowing you to monitor performance across both accounts.

Remember: This method provides visibility into cross-account conversions but doesn't enable direct tracking within Google Ads.
