How to enable conversion tracking

AdWords has a ‘Conversion Tracking’ tool that allows you to keep track of your conversion rate, thus determining how effective your AdWords campaigns and keywords are.

To use this tool, you need to create an AdWords account. Not sure how to do this? Head to the Google AdWords support page for detailed instructions.

If you’re keen to keep track of AdWords conversion rates for your online store, you need to enter two values in the back office under ‘Google AdWords conversion_id’ and ‘conversion_label’.
