Conversions and Visits report

To see details about the conversions and visits your Floodlight activities and Search Ads 360 have recorded, download a Conversions and Visits report. In the downloaded bulksheet, you'll see a separate row for each conversion and visit in the report's scope. Each row contains information such as:

• The items and visit that are attributed for the conversion. For example, you'll see which ad, keyword, product group, or sitelink led to the conversion.
• The time and date of the visit that led to the conversion, as well as the time and date of the conversion itself. This helps you see the time that passed from when your customers first visited the site to when they made the conversion. For example, if you know that it usually takes one day for your visitors to convert, you'll then know to always wait 24 hours before reaching a final conclusion on your campaign's performance.
• The type of device on which the conversion occurred.
• The Floodlight activity that recorded the conversion.

Analyzing this data may help you find new keywords or negative keywords. In addition, you can use the report to edit existing conversions or upload new conversions.

No scaled conversions

A Conversions and Visits report does not include scaled conversions. It only shows conversions that were measured directly. The number of conversions in a Conversions and Visits report is not expected to match the number in a Floodlight column.

Search Ads 360 downloads a bulksheet to your web browser’s download folder. The bulksheet contains one row for each conversion and visit. If your report contains conversions attributed to visits older than 90 days, click IDs won't be included.

Conversion columns

When you download a report with the Conversions type, you'll see the following columns:

• Row type: Conversion
• Conversion ID: An ID generated by Search Ads 360 to uniquely identify the conversion.
• Advertiser conversion ID: A unique ID optionally provided by the advertiser. Typically this is an order number, transaction identifier, or other type of identifier that's meaningful to the advertiser. If the advertiser doesn't provide an ID, Search Ads 360 generates one.
• Conversion revenue:The monetary amount of the conversion. This value could be different from Conversion original revenue if it's a currency-converted value as a result of a Floodlight instruction.
• Conversion original revenue: The revenue value passed on from the website.
• Conversion visit ID: The Search Ads 360 ID of the visit associated with this conversion. This can be used for cross-referencing with the Visit report.
• Conversion visit date: The date of the visit associated with this conversion (in the engine account's time zone).
• Conversion visit timestamp: The date and time the visit associated with this conversion started (in the engine account's time zone, ISO 8601 format). This is great for troubleshooting when combined with the Conversion timestamp column. You can determine the amount of time that elapsed from when the user clicked the ad to the purchase.
• Conversion date: The date the conversion occurred (in the engine account's time zone).
• Conversion timestamp: The date and time the conversion occurred (in the engine account's time zone, ISO 8601 format). This is great for troubleshooting when combined with the Conversion visit timestamp column.

• Conversion type: Action or Transaction.
• Conversion search term: The search term that led to the visit and, ultimately, the conversion.
• Conversion referrer: The URL of the page the customer visited immediately before the conversion page.
• Conversion external click ID: The ID Google generated for the click (gclid) that led to the conversion. This ID is generated only if you've enabled linking between specific Google products or if you've enabled the conversion API service in Search Ads 360. The click ID won't be included if the conversion attributed to the visit it references is older than 90 days
• Floodlight activity name: The name of the Floodlight activity that recorded the conversion.
• Floodlight activity ID: The Search Ads 360 ID assigned to the Floodlight activity that recorded the conversion.

• Row type: Visit
• Visit ID: Search Ads 360-generated ID that can be used for cross-referencing with a Conversion report.

• Visit date: The date of the visit (in the engine account's time zone).
• Visit timestamp: The time and date that the visit started (in the engine's account time zone, ISO 8601 format).
• Account time zone: Displayed in location format (for example, America/Chicago). English only.
• Visit network: Search or Content for Google Ads; empty for other engine types.
• Visit referrer host: (for example, google.co.uk) For ads in display, this value tells you what host led to your visit or conversion. You could also use this to help you determine whether to opt in to the AdSense for Search (AFS) network. AFS is an additional network you can opt into from Google Ads.
