Take full advantage of cross-device conversions in Google Ads. After reaching a strict, highly conservative confidence level, cross-device conversions are shown in Google Ads reporting to provide marketers with highly accurate and granular insight on users’ cross-device behavior.

1. Capture all possible cross-device conversions in Google Ads

• Consider longer conversion windows, even up to 90 days if it makes sense for you.

Why: Users who research across multiple devices generally take longer to convert than someone who uses a single device.

• Enable cross-account conversion tracking (if warranted by your account’s structure).

Why: Don't let your account structure limit your cross-device visibility. Cross-account conversions report multi-device users’ interactions with you across accounts.

• Deploy the same conversion tag for your desktop and mobile sites, and implement in-app conversion tracking as well.

Why: In order to measure conversions across devices and between apps and browsers, you’ll need to have consistent tracking in place.

• Avoid conversion tags that only fire conditionally.

Why: Cross-device tracking performs best when it’s aware of as many conversions as possible. Conditionally firing your Google Ads tag can limit your insight.

• Design your apps and mobile and desktop sites to facilitate cross-device actions.

Why: The customer journey will look different depending on their context. If a user can’t convert on her current device, make it easy to save and convert later.

2. Set bids and messaging based on cross-device behavior

Adjust your bids based on what you see in your “Conversions” column.

Why: Your bids should reflect the value, cross-device or otherwise, that is captured in your “Conversions” column.

Tailor ads to align with what someone can realistically complete on their current device.

Why: Users are more likely to complete a task if they know that task will be achievable in their current situation.
