Are you tired of clicking on an ad and it taking so long for you to get redirected to a company’s website? From my own experience, I can honestly say that numerous times I have been searching a retail site and it would take nearly ten seconds for the page to load (which is too long to wait) and by that time, I end up leaving the site.
It is important that we all have a great experience when browsing the Internet. With that said, there is a new Google Ads feature coming your way that will make this problem disappear!
A New Change Is Coming In Google Ads
Starting October 30, 2018, parallel tracking will be required for all Google Ads accounts. Parallel tracking will help load your landing page or website quicker.
It is a convenient new change, that will reduce the number of visitors who leave your website while they’re waiting for your page or website to load. I know it’s very important for me to be directed to a site that shows me what I need in an efficient manner.
In Google Ads, parallel tracking works by sending the customer directly from the advertiser’s ad to the final URL. The Google Ads click tracker and tracking URL are both loading at the same time the customer clicks on the ad to get redirected to your website.
This new feature will help customers avoid going through one or more redirects before they reach your landing page or website. According to statistics, 47 percent of visitors expect a website to load in less than 2 seconds and 40 percent of visitors will leave the website if the loading process takes more than 3 seconds. So why is this beneficial to you and your business?
Parallel tracking gives you the advantage to get to the website several seconds faster and with a shortened wait time, which will result in a better customer experience. Providing a better customer experience, means increased customer satisfaction, returned visits and reduced customer complaints.
In addition, it will allow customers to find their favorite products and services much faster and purchase what they need on your website!
