Definition
Enhanced conversions is a Google Ads feature that can improve conversion measurement by securely sending hashed first-party customer data from your site or offline events to help match conversions to ad interactions.
Key Takeaways
- Enhanced conversions can improve measurement and bidding performance when implemented correctly.
- It relies on first-party data and hashing, and should be handled with privacy-first practices.
- It is most useful when standard tracking is incomplete due to browser and platform limitations.
Why It Matters for Treatment Centers
Measurement can be difficult when users call, switch devices, or block cookies. Enhanced conversions can help recover attribution, which improves optimization when competition is intense.
Treatment Lens: Practical Boundaries
Be careful with what data is collected and where it flows. Use only what is needed for measurement, hash properly, and document your process. Coordinate with your privacy policy and internal governance.
