You can now see mobile ad performance in Google Analytics.

Labels: ,

Starting this week, some of you will see enhanced Analytics reports with mobile ad performance metrics. All AdWords reports in the new interface will be gaining a new visual toggle as shown below for “All”, “High-end Mobile” and “Tablet” ads.  All AdWords metrics available in Google Analytics can be segmented by these new mobile and tablet dimensions.

 

As more consumers begin to make use of tablets or high-end mobile devices, businesses need to understand this shift towards mobile and adapt your marketing mix. This mobile ads reporting enhancement in Google Analytics is one of many steps that we are taking towards helping you make more sense of how mobile advertising interacts with your business.

Please let us know what you think, and suggest any other mobile measurement options you’d like to see that help make sense of your mobile advertising effectiveness.

Phil, Great initiative from your team. Even for a one-man digital marketing consultancy like mine, my mobile metrics performance can be traced. Now I wish I could afford to run AdWords campaigns!

This will make my life a whole lot easier so I don't need to worry about messing with other software to track it anymore. This sure is some great news!

This might be a dumb question, but what is a "high-end mobile device" exactly? I've never heard of this term before. I could guess that it means "smartphone", but don't want to jump to a conclusion. This sounds like the use of jargon creeping in - please use more standard language in your posts.

Hi Brendan,

Google Analytics uses the same definition for "high-end mobile" as AdWords. Such a device is one with "full browser" capabilities such as those listed here:

Will Google Analytics allow a blogger or website publisher who uses the Cleeng content monetization system to segment revenue generation according to the following devices: smart phone, tablet, laptop, PC?

So great, it's powerful.

I have a question. Why now there are a big big keywords that is "(not provided)"?

I'm less interested in features like this. Currently, I don't even do mobile advertising, I haven't even done more than a small test of any kind of AdWords advertising (I found it to be ineffective).

I'd rather you focus instead on interface issues. The new beta has, IMHO, an exceptionally poor user interface, often requiring 1-3 more clicks to get the same effect as in the old interface.

Fix these fundamental issues that affect every user before you start thinking about new features that only a small portion of users will actually use.
