Note: We support Moat and Google Marketing Platform (formerly Google DoubleClick) tracking and attribution for Text Ads, Dynamic Ads spotlight ads, and Sponsored Content. However, third-party tracking isn't available for thought leader ads. The accepted format is Tracking Tags. We recommend using this instead of a Google click tracking URL as your ad’s landing page. Additionally, using the click tracker via our third-party tracking tools as well as your ad’s landing page can result in double-counting.
-
Obtain tag URLs from your third-party tracking vendor.
Note: Impression and click tracker tags (referred to as Tracking ad tags) are accepted; monitoring or blocking tags are not. -
Click on the correct Campaign Group and Campaign name. Open the creatives you want to track in Campaign Manager. Learn how to open and edit ad creatives.
-
Click the
Actions icon to the right of the ad you want to edit and select Manage Tracking from the dropdown. -
Input each tag URL on each creative you want to track. To add multiple tags, click Add another tag.
- If the same tag is being used to track impressions or clicks on multiple creatives, your impressions or clicks will be counted multiple times. To track unique impressions or clicks and prevent double counting, use unique tags for each creative.
-
Click Save.
Note: If you receive an error message, it may be because you're trying to enter a tracking tag from an unsupported vendor. -
To confirm successful implementation and ensure your impressions are being counted, check your third-party vendor 48 hours after the campaign starts.
