Summary
Conversion tracking is an important part of eCommerce advertising for the
following areas:
Reporting
You can use conversion tracking to calculate and compare return on
investment (ROI) and profit to help you decide where to focus
advertising spend.
Transparency
You might incorrectly estimate your total or average order value
if you don't have accurate data or don't explore available data. Tracking
helps ensure data is available for reconciliation purposes.
Optimization
Order values differ depending on the product or category. Conversion tracking
helps you understand how certain groups convert into sales.
