View-through conversions best practices

If you aren’t seeing the performance on your ads that you are looking for, consider enhancing the following strategies:

View-through conversion best practices

step 1 icon Optimize your ads

See which ad placements are resulting in the highest view-through conversion rates and improve your underperforming ads to get more ad impressions on your display campaigns and search network. Keep in mind not only your view-through conversions but also your click conversion rates.

step 2 icon Use view-through conversions for your brand awareness

Your view-through conversions can give you an idea of the brand awareness that can come from your search ads, Facebook ads or google display network ads, so make sure to take it into consideration when calculating your return on investment for those ads.

step 3 icon Invest in remarketing

Of course, you can also do some remarketing. When people see your ads multiple times, they are more likely to capture the message and eventually be interested and convert. They say an ad needs to be seen 5 times before someone even pays attention to it, so investing in remarketing should improve your conversions tremendously.
