Using HighLevel’s Conversion List for Google Ads with Triggers and Workflows

Follow these steps to use HighLevel’s Conversion List for Google Ads with your Triggers and Workflows:
Step 1: Adding the Conversion action in your Google Ads account
- Within your Google Ads account, navigate to Tools & Settings from the menu.
- Click “Conversions” under the Measurement menu.
- Click “+New Conversion Action” to add.
- To start tracking conversion, choose the import option from the list that appears.
- NOTE: Choose what you want to import and select the right button (Google Analytics UA, Google Analytics 4 properties, third-party app analytics, salesforce, or other). If you wish to track clicks on a page or calls initiated by the user, be sure to choose those option from the selectable choices:
Step 2: Set Up the Goals
Tired of Being the Admin, the Marketer, and the Closer?
You didn't start your business to spend hours building funnels, managing calendars, and chasing follow-ups inside HighLevel. What if someone else handled all of that for you?
Our HighLevel-trained virtual assistants know the platform inside and out — workflows, pipelines, social scheduling, reporting — so you can focus on closing deals and growing your business. Starting at only $164 per week.
- In the “Goal and action optimization” dropdown, choose “Imported Lead”.
- For the Conversion name, match the name to exactly what will be in your Workflow (Step 3 below).
- Select a Value. You can use same, different, or don’t use any value.
- Determine the count, either “every” or “one”.
- Determine the Click Through conversion window.
- Set this to 90 days and set the Attribution Model as “First click”
Step 3: Setting up the Workflow Action In HighLevel
- Within the Workflow, add a step/action for “Add to Google Adwords”
- Select “Other” for Conversion.
- Insert the Conversion name (exactly as named in Step 2 above).
- Click Save and Publish to confirm your changes.
NOTE: In order for the conversion to pass through to Google Ads, the contact record/opportunity must have been created from a URL with a gclid parameter. Also, it may take approximately 24 hours for the conversion list to populate.
