Alternative of Converted Clicks?

---

Recently Google AdWords has depreciated converted clicks. First to know about it, you need to know.

 What are converted clicks?

To track your leads you put a code of conversion. When your form is filled the conversion tracking code is fired. When code records that form is filled and reflect the count under “conversions” section. It is a very normal scenario that user clicks on submit button more than one time and in that case, the form is filled more than one time with the same data and conversion code is fired more than one times and show 2 or 3 conversions in Google AdWords which is not accurate in real. So to record how many real users have filled the form. Google AdWords show “Converted Clicks”. It means that how many real users have filled the form. But now Google has depreciated the option of converted it’s so it’s really difficult for you to know how many conversion was real and how many conversions was a duplicate. You can know that by several ways. Personally, I use the below-mentioned way to know, the real conversions. 1. In the Dimensions tab, under the option “time”, there is an option of hours. If 2, 3 conversions are counted in the same hour. It can be suspicious that within a particular hour more than one conversion happen? This option is only for those AdWords account, who have low conversions like 3, 4 conversions a day. 2. Better option is to open you Google Analytics and track the goal completion with users and session. You can know use this option to know more that, did the same user click your ad multiple times.
