Google Conversion Rates

    Hi,

    I've been selling online and using Google Ads for some time now, but I've only recently setup my conversion code. What I'd like to know is how accurate is the conversion code? I can't believe how low my conversion rates are, even for very specific keywords that have a very good click through rate, even allowing for it being off season for my goods, i assumed Google ads were bringing in most of my business but the recent conversion tracking is less then inspiring. [albeit only on a two week trial - in my off season]

    Are there times when the conversion won't register?

    Thanks for any help.

    Tayto.

    If google shows you some sort of a conversion, chances are high that conversion tracking has been setup correctly, though a glitch cannot be ruled out fully.

    Thanks seodelhi, thats what I thought, there are conversion coming through so it must be working.

    My sales are very slow this time of year but i think i need to seriously retune my adwords nonetheless, I've spent an awful lot on content ads and they've little or no conversions.

    I think a 20% offset is acceptable in the adwords tracking pixel

    You might also want to check if there is more then one page in your site showing your tracking code with only one of them setup for tracking
