Tracking: Google Ads Pmax Campaign URL's registered as '-'

Data collection and tags
1

I’m having issues with seeing which of my URL’s that are getting traffic from my Google Ads Pmax campaigns in Piwik. Regular Google Ads Search campaigns are displaying URLs correctly. It’s only related to Pmax. All URL’s from Pmax campaigns are shown as ‘-’ (or ‘No data’) in Piwik.

I have this tracking template:
{lpurl}?campaign={campaignid}&content={creative}&keyword={keyword}

I’ve tried applying the following suffix to make sure UTMs are being added:
utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={campaignid}&utm_content={creative}&utm_term={keyword}

But that doesn’t make any difference in the Piwik reporting. Do you have any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? :slight_smile: Thanks

Hi Casper,

The reason why we do not have that information (so it’s “no data”/“-” instead) is becasue google ads API do not share this information in views that we use. So we do not have landing page values for p max campaigns.

Best,
Oliwer
