Your View-through conversions is a metric on google ads (Adwords) that tells you when customers see, but don’t interact with your ad, and then later complete a conversion on your site in the 30 days following them seeing it.
You can track all your conversion rate data in Google Analytics and Google Ads.
It all depends on the value you assign to your view-through conversions. For example, you can assign 10% attribution of a conversion to a view-through conversion). If you have a good conversion rate for your view-through conversions, it can be anywhere from 2% to 5%, but it varies across different types of benchmarks and goals.
Low conversion is anything below 2%. But of course, view-through conversions are different, since they represent the number of people who saw your ad and didn’t click on it, then converted later on. Your VTC rate will most likely differ slightly from your typical conversion rate.
Your VTC can be added to multiple different types of reports. Here are some of them:

If you aren’t seeing the performance on your ads that you are looking for, consider enhancing the following strategies:
Optimize your ads
See which ad placements are resulting in the highest view-through conversion rates and improve your underperforming ads to get more ad impressions on your display campaigns and search network. Keep in mind not only your view-through conversions but also your click conversion rates.
Use view-through conversions for your brand awareness
Your view-through conversions can give you an idea of the brand awareness that can come from your search ads, Facebook ads or google display network ads, so make sure to take it into consideration when calculating your return on investment for those ads.
Invest in remarketing
Of course, you can also do some remarketing. When people see your ads multiple times, they are more likely to capture the message and eventually be interested and convert. They say an ad needs to be seen 5 times before someone even pays attention to it, so investing in remarketing should improve your conversions tremendously.
