GA bounce rate columns

Universal Analytics properties will stop processing data on July 1, 2023 (July 1, 2024 for Analytics 360 properties). If you haven't already, start using a Google Analytics 4 property

GA bounces column displays the number of visits that are recorded as sessions, but does not lead to additional clicks or other customer interaction.

For example, if a user visits your website and briefly reviews content on your homepage, but leaves without clicking on any links or triggering any events that are recorded as interaction events, then the session will count as a bounce.

This metric is automatically migrated into the new Search Ads 360.

GA bounce rate column displays the bounce rate for Google Analytics sessions attributed to clicks on search or social objects in Search Ads 360.

For example, on the “Keywords” tab, the GA bounce rate column shows the bounce rate of sessions attributed to each keyword within the report's time range. The summary row at the bottom of the table shows the average bounce rate for all keywords in the report.

Bounce rate is the inverse of percent engaged sessions (see GA4 %engaged sessions).

This metric is automatically migrated into the new Search Ads 360.
