Maximize your
YouTube Ads performance with RedTrack
Unlock the full potential of your YouTube ad campaigns with RedTrack's advanced tracking and analytics solution. Get accurate conversion data, optimize your ROI, and scale your advertising efforts effortlessly.
Key features and benefits
RedTrack solves the common challenge of misattributed YouTube ad conversions, where data often appears as organic or direct traffic. The platform's attribution system ensures that conversions triggered by YouTube video ads are properly tracked and credited to the right campaign, ad group, or specific video ad, providing clear visibility into what's actually driving results.
The platform seamlessly integrates with Google's Conversion API to send both online and offline conversion data directly to YouTube. This provides YouTube's algorithm with more accurate signals to optimize for, significantly improving machine learning performance and allowing for better campaign optimization based on real conversion data rather than estimated conversions.
RedTrack implements no-redirect, server-side tracking specifically designed for YouTube campaigns. This approach bypasses ad blockers and browser limitations while maintaining data accuracy in the post-cookie world. The server-side tracking also enables capturing data across devices, maintaining accurate attribution even when users switch between mobile and desktop.
The platform offers a centralized dashboard that displays YouTube ads performance data in real-time alongside other channels. Marketers can monitor cost data, view counts, engagement metrics, and conversion performance without delays, allowing for quick identification of trends and rapid optimization of underperforming video campaigns.
The platform streamlines YouTube campaign management with powerful automation tools, including auto-rules to blacklist underperforming placements and creatives, auto-pause functionality for campaigns based on conversion metrics, and performance alerts. For advertisers managing multiple YouTube Ads accounts, RedTrack provides a unified dashboard that significantly reduces management time and improves efficiency across accounts.
