How it works
When a visitor comes to your website, being referred by one of the supported advertising networks, the target url will be enriched by a unique click id of the Advertising Network. For Google Ads this would be for example a parameter named gclid. With this feature Matomo will automatically track those IDs along with the visitors’ data.
To let the advertising network such as Google know which visitors converted, you would usually need to include a conversion tracking tag. As this has privacy, security and website page load implications, this new Matomo feature provides an easier solution. The plugin lets you instead automatically export conversions that were tracked in Matomo and import them in the ad networks you are using. This works for visitors that had a click id directly (clickid was tracked in the same visit) or indirectly (click id was tracked in a previous visit).
To make this work all you need to do is to create an export in Matomo which will give you a unique URL which you can then define (import) in your ad network. That’s it.
Here’s a list of all the new features in our Advertising Conversion Export Plugin:
