= Recording Conversions<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll begin to see data once users complete the tracked action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Track multiple conversions (purchases, form fills, phone clicks) by creating separate tags and triggers for each action \u2014 GTM keeps everything organized in one place.<\/p>\n<h2>Connecting Google Ads to Google Analytics<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Why Link Google Ads and GA4?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>See how users behave after clicking your ads<\/li>\n<li>Import GA4 conversions into Google Ads<\/li>\n<li>Build remarketing audiences in GA4<\/li>\n<li>Get richer insights for campaign optimization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 1: Prerequisites<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Before linking:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need edit access to both the Google Ads account and the GA4 property.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure the same Google account has access to both.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 2: Link from Google Analytics (Recommended Method)<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to analytics.google.com<\/li>\n<li>Open your GA4 property<\/li>\n<li>Click the Admin gear icon (bottom-left corner)<\/li>\n<li>Under the Property column, click Google Ads Links<\/li>\n<li>Click Link<\/li>\n<li>Select the Google Ads account(s) you want to link<\/li>\n<li>Click Next,<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 3: Configure Link Settings<\/h3>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll be prompted to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enable Personalized Advertising \u2013 allows GA4 audiences to be shared with Google Ads<\/li>\n<li>Enable Auto-Tagging (recommended) \u2013 ensures that ad data flows into GA4 properly<\/li>\n<li>Keep both options enabled, unless you have a specific reason not to.<\/li>\n<li>Click Next, then Submit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 4: Verify the Connection<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Go back to Admin \u2192 Google Ads Links in GA4<\/li>\n<li>You should now see your Google Ads account listed as \u201cLinked\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In Google Ads, go to Tools &amp; Settings \u2192 Linked Accounts \u2192 Google Analytics (GA4)<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll see your GA4 property listed and active<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 5: Import GA4 Conversions into Google Ads (Optional but Recommended)<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re using GA4 to track conversions (e.g., purchases, form submissions):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to Google Ads<\/li>\n<li>Click Tools &amp; Settings \u2192 Conversions<\/li>\n<li>Click New Conversion Action \u2192 Import<\/li>\n<li>Choose Google Analytics 4 properties (Web)<\/li>\n<li>Select the conversions you want to import (e.g., &#8220;purchase&#8221;, &#8220;generate_lead&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>Click Import and Continue<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These conversions will now appear in your campaign performance data and be used for Smart Bidding.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Enable GA4 Audiences in Google Ads (for Remarketing)<\/h3>\n<p>Once linked, GA4 can automatically share audience segments (like \u201cEngaged Users\u201d or \u201cAbandoned Cart\u201d) with Google Ads.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In GA4: Go to Admin \u2192 Audiences \u2192 Create Audience<\/li>\n<li>Example audience: &#8220;Users who visited product page but not thank-you page&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Once created, these audiences can be targeted or excluded in Google Ads campaigns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pro Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure auto-tagging is ON in Google Ads for clean data<\/li>\n<li>Use UTM parameters if using manual tagging for consistency<\/li>\n<li>Always double-check that your conversions are not double-counted (GA4 + Google Ads
