Conversions (purchases, sign-ups, downloads) may occur later than the click. Use attribution models:

  • First-click: credits the first interaction;
  • Last-click: credits the final ad before purchase;
  • Multi-touch: distributes credit across interactions in the customer journey.

Monitor trends and compare audiences in Ads Manager/Google Analytics; continually optimize targeting, creatives, and bids with A/B tests aligned to business goals.
