16. Conversion Tracking
CLASSIC NEW
Conversion Tracking was a part of
“Bid and budget.”
Conversion Tracking is now its own section, versus a module on the “bid and budget” page. You
can both create a new conversion or assign an existing conversion directly in the new experience.
17. Creating an Insight Tag
Domain → Insight Tag
An Insight Tag is needed before creating a domain.
TIP: If you already have an Insight Tag, remember to
permission it from the main account (instead of
creating one again from the new campaign).
CLASSIC NEW
Insight Tags can now be generated or permissioned after creating a website conversion. No
need to create or permission an Insight before adding a website conversion.
