Conversion reporting columns

The statistics table reports conversions for accounts, campaigns, ad groups, product groups, keywords, and conversion actions in different columns. Some of the conversion reporting columns are included in the table by default. Others, you can add. 

Conversion reporting is based on the click date by default 

Conversions are reported based on the time that a click that led to the conversion occurred. This is referred to as “click-time”, “click-date”, or “click-aligned” reporting. Learn more about reporting differences in the new Search Ads 360.

To report on conversions based on the time that a conversion occurred (referred to as conversion-time reporting), you can add columns that include the “by conv. time” suffix in your reports.

The "All conversions" column

The "All conversions" column, which is abbreviated "All conv.",  includes conversions from all supported conversion sources, including Floodlight, Google Ads, and Google Analytics. The conversions shown for a selected time period are attributed to an item at the selected level such as a campaign, product group, keyword, or conversion action. 

This column is included in your tables by default, and includes cross-device conversions. 

Search Ads 360 includes columns such as "Value/All conv." and "All conv. value/cost" that are based on the "All conversions" column. These columns enable you to understand the value of your conversions with other metrics.

The "Conversions" column

The "Conversions" column reports selected conversions that are used by the automated bidding system and other automation features to optimize your bids and budgets to reach your targets. The “Conversions” column can be overridden to show Floodlight conversion actions that you select when using Google Ads Conversions for automated bidding optimization.

You can add this column to your tables.
