What are the benefits of using Google-certified tracking?​

It is simply a white list domain that can be used in the Google Ads tracking template, and you won't encounter the "uncertified" error.

Nonetheless, it does NOT provide a 100% assurance that your ads will always be approved, or that your Google Ads account will remain completely safe.

  1. Enable "Google certified tracking" when creating campaign, then enter the url of next destination into "next immediate hop url" field, MaxConv will redirect to this url, adding additional tracking macros is allowed.

    For example, if you are directly promoting an product whose url is https://offer.com/track?offer_id=123&aff_id=456, to enable the conversion tracking, you may want to add &subid={mc_click_id}, then you should enter the full url: https://offer.com/track?offer_id=123&aff_id=456&subid={mc_click_id}.

tip

You still need to choose at least one offer in the campaign destination, so that MaxConv can attribute traffic and conversions to right offer, it's recommended to choose the offer whose url is the same as "Next hop url" value.

  1. After creating campaign, copy the campaign link in the Tracking tab to setup campaign in Google Ads.

Promote offer from Google certified agency​

If you are promoting offers from Google certified agency like Awin, ShareaSale, etc. Then you may need to add {lpurl} to their specific parameter, for example, a shareasale link looks like https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=123456&u=456123&m=123456, you should append &urllink={lpurl}.

So when creating campaign in MaxConv, you should enter https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=123456&u=456123&m=123456&urllink={lpurl} into the "Next immediate hop url".

For Awin, the parameter is &p={lpurl}, for other certified agencies, you may need to consult their support for the parameter name.

FAQ​

Can I use flow or armor with Google Certified tracking?

No you can't, The purpose of Google click tracker certification program is to clearly state the complete next hop from an ad click tracker, so when you enable the Google-certified tracking, all conditional redirection features will stop working.

Can I use my own domain to get certified link?

No, the Google certification is at the domain level, adding your domain to our tracking platform does not automatically certify it, you have to use our certified domain.

I encountered error "Add {lpurl} or other landing page parameters to your tracking template..." when adding link to tracking template, what to do?

The campaign level tracking template requires {lpurl}, you can enter our certified link into the tracking template of Ad, not campaign's tracking template.
