Why integrate AdWords and Snowplow?

When you integrate AdWords with Snowplow Analytics, you can:

  • See campaign/adgroup/keyword clicks and each click cost in Snowplow.
  • Calculate ROAS for each campaign/adgroup/keyword.
  • Associate a specific paid keyword/adgroup/campaign to customer/purchase

How does it work?

Our system exports your Google AdWords data daily into our AWS infrastructure. Snowplow Analytics runs a custom enrichment that looks up each gclid (recorded upon customer clicks) in our database.

Snowplow then enriches the event level data with the Account, Campaign, Ad group, Keyword, Keyword match type, and Average CPC.

Example data
