Verifying that conversion tracking is working
After setting up AdWords conversion tracking, I recommend making sure that it's working properly so you can start acting on your data as soon as possible.
Getting ready
You will need access to your AdWords account, your conversion actions in AdWords, as well as the URL for your confirmation page.
How to do it...
There are a few steps you can take to verify conversions are being tracked.
Check the source code
First, I recommend checking that the code is indeed on the appropriate page and that the code matches the tracking code in your AdWords account:
In your browser, go to your confirmation page URL, such as
yourwebsite.com/thank_you.Click to view the source code. The following table entails the view page source shortcuts for the Chrome and Firefox:
Command
Windows
Mac
Chrome
Ctrl + U
Command + Option + U
Firefox
Ctrl + U
Command + U
In your AdWords account, go to Tools and Analysis and select Conversions.
Click on the conversion action...
