Test your landing page

30/11/2019

Whether you use only a final URL to define your landing page or a final URL with a tracking template or custom parameters, it’s important to make sure your ad is leading your potential customers to the right part of your website.

This article explains how you can test your landing page to make sure it’s leading to the URL you want.

How it works

When you test your landing page, you’ll receive detailed test results and one of the following messages.

Message Campaign type What it means
Page found All A landing page was found.
Page not found All The landing page was not found (e.g., 404 error). Please check your tracking template, custom parameter(s), or final URL.
Final URL mis-match All The landing page and final URL don't share the same domain, the URLs in the redirect chain don't begin with your final URL,  or your redirects after your final URL don't stay on the same domain. Please check that your URL meets the requirement listed here.
No eligible ads found All There were no ads in the ad group that could be tested. The ads that can be tested are text ads, image ads, and ads from the Ad gallery. These ads must also use upgraded URLs.
Unreachable All The landing page couldn’t be reached (e.g., because it timed out). Please try again.
Unknown/Tool failure All There was an error while testing your landing page. Please try again.
Website domain empty Dynamic Search Ads The “Website domain” field (found in "Campaign settings") is empty.
