How to setup your lead generation campaign on Google Ads.

AnyTrack setup

Get Started with AnyTrack

To start tracking your funnel, you will first need to add the AnyTrack tracking code to your site. Very much like adding Google Analytics, you simply need to add the tracking code in the head section of your site. As soon as the code is on your site, it will start collecting traffic data.

Direct Integration

CRM Integration

AnyTrack has an extensive integration catalog that allows you to easily connect your AnyTrack account with any CRM or Lead Generation software. AnyTrack provides you with a pre-configured Postback URL which carries the required parameters to track conversions.

Alternatively, you can use webhooks to track conversions back to AnyTrack.

Landing page & Form setup

Automatic form submission tracking

AnyTrack makes it easy to track form submissions (opt-ins) and pass tracking data to your CRM.

Add a hidden field to your form with the default value {click_id} and AnyTrack will automatically substitute the field with the tracking data:.

  • Field name: clickid
  • Default value: {click_id}
*Configure your form to pass the form data during the form submission.
Google Ads Settings

Google Ads Account Settings

To track clicks accurately, update two settings in your Google Ads account. The settings will apply to your whole account and ensure that all necessary tracking data is passed to your ads and landing pages automatically.

  1. Navigate to your Google Ads Account settings.
  2. Enable the Auto-Tag option
  3. Paste the UTM Tracking template in the tracking settings.

Conversion setup

Before you start tracking and improving your campaigns based on conversions from your CRM or Lead Generation software, there are a few things you need to do:

  1. Bring in the conversions from Google Analytics.
  2. Set up the imported conversions, including:
    1. The type of conversion (such as purchase or lead)
    2. The attribution window

Campaign settings

Now that your account is properly set up, you can create your campaigns, set your bid strategy and select the conversions you want to optimize the campaign with:

  • Select your bid strategy
  • Select the Conversion Goal(s)
 
Note: you can create several campaigns, each optimized for a different conversion goal.

Ad Setup

The last step of the campaign setup is your ad and specifically the Final URL.

Reminder: The Final URL is the page that visitors reach when clicking on your ad.

Since you’ve previously added the tracking URL template and enabled Auto-Tagging, you simply have to add your landing page URL to your ad.

Don’t work hard for your data.

Make your data work harder for you.
