Set up tracking for a Google Ads Shopping campaign

 This article applies only to Google Ads accounts in the new Search Ads 360.

You can use dynamic tracking URLs to track your website’s traffic from Google Ads Shopping campaigns. Use the ads_redirect attribute in your product data to tell Google Ads where to send your traffic.

You can also use Google Ads tracking templates to specify additional tracking information. For example, you can add custom parameters or ValueTrack parameters. We recommend that you use the {unescapedlpurl} ValueTrack parameter as it works with third-party tracking software and Google Analytics to help you fine-tune your campaigns for better performance.
