Why This Matters


Conversion setup can be one of the most frustrating parts of running Google Ads — especially for small businesses or marketers without a developer on call. By walking users through the process step by step, Google's hoping to:

  1. Reduce setup errors

  2. Increase adoption of proper measurement

  3. Encourage use of its automated event creation tools

 

What's Next?


It's unclear whether this is just a limited test or part of a phased global rollout. But if history is any guide, Google tends to slowly expand these UI experiments across accounts over time.
For now, if you see the new "Simplified Conversion Measurement" label in your account — try it. The process is smoother and far less intimidating than older conversion flows.
