In such cases, advertisers should use additional independent reporting methods provided by the third-parties. + +### Choosing an effective conversion URL + +Using a conversion URL provides a more accurate measure of ad effectiveness than simply tracking visits to the homepage.  + +**Key Points:** + +- Use a URL pattern that avoids false positives. + - Don't use your base website URL as the conversion URL.  + - Clicks and site visits are already counted by default for all Brave Ads campaigns. +- Choose a URL that represents a deeper action on your website, such as: + - Sign-up completion page + - Email subscription welcome page + - Purchase confirmation page + - For example, on an ad campaign for `https://shoestore.com`, an effective conversion URL would be: `https://shoestore.com/check-out/thank-you*` +- As a rule of thumb, all conversion URLs should end in wildcard variables to account for any additional query parameters that might risk disrupting the conversion counting process. + - An asterisk (\*) can be used as the wildcard variable in your conversion URL that will tell Brave Ads to treat that position in the URL as any possible value. This can be used in a variety of situations where conversion website URLs follow similar paths but include different values, such as product directories or unique order IDs. + - For example, building on the above example, `https://shoestore.com/check-out/thank-you*` would effectively capture any URL that is the same leading up to the wildcard variable, such as `https://shoestore.com/check-out/thank-you/orderID=63551` + +### Advanced use of wildcard variables in conversion URLs + +Wildcard values can be placed anywhere in the sub-path of the URL, including in-between path sections. Here are some examples using a hypothetical shoe store, `https://shoestore.com`, that categorizes their available shoes by category, type, and color across their website. Their pages are thus all structured using the following format: `https://shoestore.com/category/type/color/` + +- Example 1: This conversion URL will count visits to pages in the “running-shoes” directory categorized as “mens”: `https://shoestore.com/running-shoes/*/mens*` + - In this case, the first asterisk represents any type, while the second is the trailing wildcard recommended on all conversion URLs. +- Example 2: This conversion URL will count visits to pages for any shoes that are “childrens”: `https://shoestore.com/*/childrens/*` + - In this case, the first asterisk represents the subpaths for any shoe category. The second asterisk acts both as the shoe color, and also fulfills the role of the recommended trailing wildcard. + +### Advanced controls for attribution -### Conversion reporting in Brave Ads Manager +When setting up a conversion URL in Brave, you’ll be asked to pick an observation window, also known as a look-back window, which determines how long after an ad view (or click) should a conversion be attributed to the ad campaign. This can be set for 1, 7, or 30 days, where 1-day will capture the fewest conversions and 30-day will capture the most. -We strongly recommend including conversion reporting for your Brave campaign. Because Brave ads are delivered via the browser, we are able to report on conversions (signups, orders, etc.) attributed to the campaign using a URL.
