Updated April 9, 2024

Without a properly configured conversion action linked to your workflows, Google Ads cannot attribute leads back to the campaigns driving them. Following this guide, you will create an imported conversion action in Google Ads and connect it to a GoHighLevel workflow using the exact naming and gclid requirements needed for accurate tracking.

In your Google Ads Account, go to Tools and Settings

Please Note:

For a conversion to be effectively transmitted to Google Ads, it’s imperative that the contact or opportunity originates from a URL containing a gclid parameter.

It will take approximately 24 hours to see the list populated in workflows and in Google Ads Conversions.
