Tracking
Using tracking is an essential part of online campaign management and has only become more important in recent years. Although often underexposed, also because it is technical in nature, it is one of the ways to make a difference in achieving your objectives. We at Hide and Seek deploy tracking to iets full potential.

What is
Tracking?
Tracking is a technique for collecting data. Consider, for example, data from the website. Google Analytics is often used for this. Correct implementation ensures that this data is correctly ‘tracked’, collected, and displayed. Another example of tracking is data that platforms such as Google and Meta collect from users for advertising purposes.
Tracking has become increasingly important in recent years, but also more complicated at the same time. Terms such as Google Tag Manager, Server-side tracking, API tracking, Google Consent Mode and Enhanced Conversions are a piece of cake for us. It requires the right knowledge to implement tracking correctly and to be able to use it to its fullest extent. Of course, with the GDPR legislation in mind.
Why is good
tracking
important?
Correct implementation of tracking ensures the correct collection of data. That is indispensable in online marketing today. This data can, for example, provide insight into the website. How does it perform, which users come to the website, and how can the website be optimized for better results?
Another example is that with tracking, the right data can be collected, which provides insight into the results of online campaigns. Tracking also helps build target audiences that can be used in campaigns for Google Ads and Meta Ads, for example.
Increasingly, both for drawing conclusions and for running online campaigns, people rely on the right data, which means that correct tracking has become increasingly important. Especially now that the landscape has become more complex in recent years.

Frequently
Asked Questions
The choice of tracking methods depends on your specific goals, platforms, and marketing channels. Implementing and analyzing tracking data can provide valuable insights to improve marketing strategies and optimize campaign performance. Commonly used methods are: website analytics, conversion tracking, pixel tracking and ad tracking.
How does conversion tracking work?
Conversion tracking works by tracking what people do once they get to your website after clicking on your ads. You can define the action you want to track as a conversion goal, such as a purchase, a sign-up, a call, or a download1. Then, you can use a tracking code or tag to collect data from your website and measure how many conversions your ads have driven.
Conversion tracking also helps you attribute the credit of one or more conversions to your ad campaigns, ad groups, and keywords. This is called conversion attribution1. There are different attribution models that you can use to assign credit to your ad clicks, such as last click, first click, linear, time decay, data-driven, etc.
Conversion tracking can help you optimize your ad campaigns, understand your return on investment (ROI), and improve your website user experience
What are the different types of conversion actions I can track?
There are different types of conversion actions that you can track depending on your business goals and the actions that customers take after interacting with your ads. Some of the common types of conversion actions are:
- Website actions: These are actions that customers complete on your website, such as purchases, sign-ups, button clicks, or other valuable activities.
- App actions: These are actions that customers complete in your app or on the app store, such as app installs, app purchases, or in-app events.
- Phone calls: These are calls that customers make to your business after seeing or clicking on your ads. You can track calls from ads, calls to a phone number on your website, or clicks on a phone number on your mobile website.
- Imported conversions: These are conversions that happen offline or outside of your website or app, such as store visits, sales from a CRM system, or conversions from other data sources. You can import these conversions into Google Ads using different methods.
