How to Set Up a Google Conversion
Setting up Google conversions helps you track the results of your ads — like sign-ups, purchases, or other key actions visitors take on your website. Conversion tracking is essential for measuring the success of your advertising campaigns.
🔗 This set up is entirely on your Google Ads account and your website. For the full official guide, visit Google Ads Help.
Step 1: Connect Your Website
-
In your Google Ads account, go to Goals → Summary.
-
Select + Conversions on a website → Add URL.
-
Enter your website domain and click Scan.
-
If a Google tag or Google Analytics property is detected, you’re all set to start measuring conversions.
-
If not, you’ll be prompted to set up a Google tag — follow the instructions to install it on your site.
-
Step 2: Create a Conversion Action
-
Choose the conversion category (like “Purchase,” “Sign-up,” or “Page view”).
-
If you use Google Analytics 4, you can bulk import events from your linked property or create a new event manually.
-
Define your conversion:
-
Name the conversion
-
Choose how it’s tracked (by URL or with code)
-
Adjust optional settings like value, count, and attribution model
-
Step 3: Finalize and Verify
-
Review your new conversions in Goals → Summary.
-
Make sure your Google tag is active and firing correctly.
-
(Optional) Enable Enhanced Conversions to improve accuracy.
-
To troubleshoot issues, use Google Tag Assistant or review the status in your conversion table.
✅ Tip: If your site already uses Google Analytics 4, connecting it to Google Ads is the easiest way to reuse your existing events for conversion tracking.
