Implementation and Setup of Google Ads Conversions
Implementation starts with the Google tag -- installed sitewide via Google Tag Manager or the gtag.js snippet -- plus an event-specific conversion action for each thing worth tracking: purchase, lead form submit, sign-up, phone call, or app install. Each conversion action is configured with a category, a value (fixed, calculated from the transaction, or none), a counting method (one or every), and an attribution window, since those settings directly determine what Smart Bidding optimizes toward.
Who it's for: accounts setting up conversion tracking for the first time, and existing accounts migrating off a legacy tagging setup (old global site tag, Floodlight-only tracking, or a broken Universal Analytics goal import) that no longer reflects how the site or app actually works.
Outcomes: a working conversion action for every meaningful user action, correctly firing once per real event, with Enhanced Conversions layered on to recover matches lost to browser cookie restrictions.
Delivery approach
We install and verify the Google tag with Tag Assistant, build each conversion action against its actual trigger (not just a page-load on the thank-you URL, which double-counts on refresh), and set up Enhanced Conversions for web -- hashing first-party fields like email at the moment of conversion so Google can match more conversions than cookies alone allow.
For accounts with a sales cycle, offline conversion import via GCLID or Enhanced Conversions for leads is wired up so CRM outcomes flow back into the same conversion actions Smart Bidding uses, and for EU/EEA traffic, Consent Mode is configured so tags behave correctly when a visitor declines analytics or ad cookies.
Engagement details
Deliverables include a documented conversion-action schema, verified tag implementation across web (and app, where relevant), Enhanced Conversions configured and validated, and a QA checklist confirming each conversion action fires exactly once per real event.
