What is a Conversion Window
A conversion window is the period after an ad interaction (such as a click or video view) during which a conversion is recorded (such as a purchase). Conversion window settings for imported conversions from GA4 can be configured independently in Google Ads and GA4. This can lead to discrepancies between the performance reports of each of these platforms.
