DRIVE SALES: Google Ads Conversion Tracking
On Google's paid networks: Search, Display and YouTube and I want to track conversions (e.g., which ads convert into confirmed bookings).
A better approach to tags is allowing placement of Google Ads' conversion tracking code directly into Mews: 1) Booking confirmation page, and 2) Newsletter sign-up confirmation page.
Beyond sales, tracking conversions for newsletter sign up is necessary too. For example, I can predict how much it will cost me to generate X amount of newsletter sign-ups with enough historical data. If my historical average is $3 per newsletter sign-up over 12 months, I know it will cost me about $1,000 to increase my newsletter database by 333 subscribers. The same metrics can be applied to sales. If my average cost per conversion to generate a booking from a specific campaign geo-targeted to my primary visitor market is X amount, I can budget how much it will cost me to generate X gross sales revenue.
In reviewing my shortlist of PMS systems, I noticed Cloud Beds offers this. Here's an example:
