ClickFlare tracks YouTube campaigns run through Google Ads with a script on your landing page, so there's no redirect. Every click keeps its placement, creative and device, Google Ads cost lands next to it, and conversions can go back to Google Ads for bidding.

Placement-level results
The placement is recorded on every click, so you can compare channels and partner sites on revenue and cut the ones that don't return.
Creative next to cost
Creative, ad group and campaign come in with each click, and Google Ads cost lands in the same report for ROI per video ad.
No redirect needed
Google Ads doesn't allow redirects. A ClickFlare script records the visit on your page, so the ad's final URL stays your own.

Ready to track
If you connect a master Google Ads account, ClickFlare pulls cost for every campaign in each sub-account, YouTube campaigns included.
Track the page with the ClickFlare script and compare creatives on sales, not views.
Placement pruning
Group results by placement, find the channels and partner sites that spend without converting, and exclude them in Google Ads.
Search and video side by side
Run YouTube on the YouTube template and search on the Search and Display template. Both pull cost from the same Google Ads integration.
Frequently asked questions
YouTube Ads integration FAQ
Does ClickFlare integrate with YouTube Ads?
Yes. YouTube campaigns run through Google Ads. ClickFlare has a ready YouTube template, pulls cost through the Google Ads cost integration and can send conversions to a Google Ads conversion action.
What does ClickFlare record for each YouTube click?
The Google click ID plus campaign, ad group, creative, device, physical and interest location, network, placement and source.
Why use a script instead of a redirect for YouTube?
Google Ads doesn't allow redirects. A ClickFlare script on your page records the visit instead, and the page loads without a redirect.
How is YouTube different from Google Ads search tracking?
The YouTube template records placement and creative for video ads. Keyword and match type belong to the Search and Display template.
Why don't my YouTube costs show up?
Link the Google Ads cost integration to your traffic source, and check that the integration timezone matches your Google Ads account.
Can I send conversions back to Google Ads?
Yes. Create an import conversion action in Google Ads, then pick it in ClickFlare with the conversions to send. Make it a primary goal to use it for bidding.
