# How to get Conversion ID and label

To track events like purchases, shopping cart actions or other conversions with Google Ads, you need the correct `Conversion ID` and `Conversion labels`. You need to enter them in the app.

Below you can find a short explanation about `Conversion IDs and labels` and read a small tutorial, how to set up e.g. the conversion for purchases correctly.

## What are Conversion IDs and labels? <a href="#what-are-conversion-ids-and-labels" id="what-are-conversion-ids-and-labels"></a>

It is important to understand what exactly `Conversion IDs and labels` are in Google Ads, so that you can set them up correctly.

### Conversion ID <a href="#conversion-id" id="conversion-id"></a>

First of all you need to know that of course every company or individual can have their own Google Ads account. Therefore, somehow you have to be able to keep them apart, especially when tracking.

Since the accounts cannot have real names like "Sarah" or "Fresh Company", otherwise they would be assigned multiple times and cause confusion, you have to use a unique sequence of letters and characters instead, e.g. "761626278", to be able to distinguish the accounts. This is exactly what the `Conversion ID` is for.

**Tip** Each account always has only one `Conversion ID`, even if several `conversion actions` are created with the corresponding `Conversion labels`.
{% endhint %}

### Conversion Label <a href="#conversion-label" id="conversion-label"></a>

Now, in a store, a wide variety of events can be tracked, which in the context of Google Ads are called `conversion actions`. Events can be anything and Google Ads does not define more precisely what an event is.

For a store, typical events such as "purchase", "added to cart" or "checkout started" are usually set up, which also usually contain dynamic values like prices or total order amounts.

Through these dynamic values, you can later directly read how profitable the ads are, because you can now see the income in addition to the expenses. That's why an app like "Google Ads (Cloud)" is essential for your revenue!

Now it is so, that also the events need a unique name for differentiation, so that the events are technically seen correctly with the tracking be assigned correctly. This is what the `Conversion labels` are for.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip** Each account always has one or more different `Conversion labels`. More precisely defined: One `Conversion label` per `conversion action`.
{% endhint %}
