When you track customer actions that might have different values each time they occur, such as purchases of items with different prices or leads for different services, you can provide transaction-specific values for each conversion. This helps you have a more accurate sense of your return on investment (ROI).
When setting up a new website or in-app conversion action, you can assign the same conversion value to all conversions (sometimes referred to as "static" values), or different values to reflect transaction-specific (or "dynamic") values. The following information only applies to transaction-specific values.
In the sections below, we'll show you how to edit your conversion tracking tag to support transaction-specific values for your website technology or mobile app platform.
Before you beginHere's what you'll need before you can set up conversion tracking for transaction-specific values on your website:
First, you'll need to make sure you selected “Use different values for each conversion” during the conversion setup process. If not, or you need to check, follow these steps:
Refer to this article to verify that you’ve installed the Google tag and event snippet correctly on your website. No matter which technology you use, make sure that the page where you put the code snippet is the one your customer finds after a conversion.
You’ll then need to dynamically pass to the event snippet the value of the conversion and its currency by setting the value and currency parameters highlighted below, at runtime. Be sure to pass the conversion value as a number, using a period as a decimal delimiter. The currency should be passed as a string, with single quotation marks, using ISO 4217 currency codes.
Event snippet example:
<!-- Event snippet for Example conversion page -->
<script>
gtag('event', 'conversion', {'send_to': 'AW-123456789/AbC-D_efG-h12_34-567',
'value': 123.05,
'currency': 'USD'
});
</script>
The way transaction-specific values are passed to the event snippet varies depending on the server technology you use to render your web pages. Consult with your web development team to understand how to best integrate the event snippet with your site so that it can capture dynamic conversion values.
Tip: If you have a lead form on your website, you can specify conversion values based on the form field selections. Here is an example for a Home improvement business:
if (projectType === "Kitchen Renovation" || projectType === "Bathroom Remodeling") {
if (projectUrgency === "Immediately") {
conversionValue = 1000 // High value
} else if (projectUrgency === "Within 1-3 Months") {
conversionValue = 750 // Medium value
} else if (projectUrgency === "Planning for Future") {
conversionValue = 100 //low value.
}
} else if (projectType === "Roofing Repair/Replacement") {
if (projectUrgency === "Immediately") {
conversionValue = 900 // High value
} else if (projectUrgency === "Within 1-3 Months") {
conversionValue = 650 // Medium value
} else if (projectUrgency === "Planning for Future") {
conversionValue = 100 //low value.
}
} else if (projectType === "Window/Door Installation") {
if (projectUrgency === "Immediately") {
conversionValue = 500 // Medium value
} else if (projectUrgency === "Within 1-3 Months") {
conversionValue = 300 // Lower medium value
} else if (projectUrgency === "Planning for Future") {
conversionValue = 100 //low value.
}
}
gtag('event', 'conversion', {
'send_to': 'YOUR_CONVERSION_ID/YOUR_CONVERSION_LABEL', // Replace with your Google Ads conversion ID and label
'value': conversionValue,
'currency': 'USD' // Or your currency
});
Google has strict security standards. Google Ads only collects data on sites and apps where you have configured tracking.
Ensure that you provide users with clear and comprehensive information about the data you collect on your sites, apps, and other properties. Make sure that you also get consent where required by law or any applicable Google policies governing user consent, including Google’s EU User Consent Policy.
