Setting Up Google Ads Remarketing & Conversion Tracking on Your Wix Site

3 min read
You can use Google Ads remarketing to show targeted ads to customers who have already visited your site. You can target the same audience while they browse their mobile device or when they search on Google. 
Conversion tracking lets you measure the conversion actions that users take on your Wix site (e.g., reaching a purchase confirmation page) after they click or view your Google ads.
To connect Google Ads to your site, follow the steps below to create a conversion action and add a Google Ads global site tag (gtag.js) to your site.
Important:
  • To use this feature you must have a Premium site with a connected domain
  • If your site uses a cookie banner, Google Ads only gathers data after a visitor provides consent and approves using the relevant cookies. Learn More
