Google AdWords is an excellent online advertising toolthat allows you to create ads in which you can determine the real cost you must pay for each click, in addition to the number of conversions you receive in each campaign, but what happens between the click and the Conversion becomes a mystery unless you include Google Analytics in the equation.
It is likely that some of the keywords you have bid on will produce a high percentage of visits, a longer stay on the website or high bounce rates, but this information cannot be visualized only with the data it provides.
That is why, the integration of your Google AdWords and Analytics accounts opens a new world of opportunities for the management, execution and analysis of your PPC campaigns, improving your conversion rate and thus maximizing the return on your marketing investment. .
Google AdWords and Analytics: better together

Treemaps allows you to create reports on the performance of your Adwords campaigns with a more visual aspect, by using nested rectangles and a red to green scale.

Search Queries Report
The second feature present in the integration of Google AdWords and Analytics are the Search Queries Report. This report provides insight into the keywords that drive conversion through your PPC ads and includes only AdWords data.
