These are two separate tools that serve different purposes but work together.
Google Ads
An advertising platform where you:
- Create and manage paid campaigns
- Pay for clicks or impressions
- Target specific keywords and audiences
- Drive traffic to your website
Google Analytics
An analytics platform where you:
- Track all website traffic (paid and organic)
- Understand user behaviour
- Measure conversions and goals
- Analyse the full customer journey
How They Work Together
Google Ads tells you how your ads perform. Google Analytics tells you what happens after users click. Linking them provides:
- Complete attribution data
- Behaviour flow analysis
- Audience insights for targeting
- Cross-channel comparison
Both Are Essential
We use Google Ads to drive traffic and Google Analytics to measure its quality and impact.
