You really have the best videos on this topic. You explain these products even better than google does. So I have to say thank you because you have singlehandedly taught me how to use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. Please keep up the good work you're amazing!!! 🚀
Hi Julius, Great tutorial as always, much appreciated. The only problem with GA conversion would be; if you opt out for GA conversion action to include in conversions column, Smart Bidding will not take GA conversions into account while optimizing your bids. This is the only catch I can think of. Smart Bidding only uses the conversion patterns in the "Conversions" column.
So awesome that you launched these kind of video tutorials, you make me understand these setting and nuances crystal clear! Great videos, thank you very much for your work!
Hi. Great video! I have created a conversion in Google ads, but when I click to setup the tag, I am not seeing the use tag manager option. I only have the code or the email option. Any ideas why that might be?
@@nelimill2797 me three. Julius replied to another comment about this. He says you can still copy the numbers and labels you need from the code or email option. However I can only see conversion ID but not conversion label text.
I have an answer from Google Support. When you set up a new conversion, the first step is to scan your website. After that you have "Add a page load as a conversion action". Scroll down past this and choose "Add conversion actions manually using code". Now you are on a path which leads to the Google Tag Manager option we are looking for.
This is a great video! Question for you: Under the Tag Setup section in Google Ads, I do not see the option to Use Google Tag Manager. Therefore I cannot get the conversion ID and name to plug into Google Tag Manager. Can you help?
@Juan Ignacio Moncayo I managed to solve it! Go into Analytics and activate "Enable Enhanced E-commerce Reporting". At least that seemed to be the thing working for me.
Hi Julius, great video! I don't see the option to use GTM under Tag setup, only see install the tag yourself and email the tag, do you think you might know the reason? Thanks!
Thank you for this information. In many other tutorials including yours I see that all you need to set up is Conversion Linker and the Conversion Event. Googles instructions say to have the base GAds code on all pages. Do you need to set up a 3rd tag to fire on all pages or is this what the Conversion Linker is for? Appreciate any help here!
When Im trying to track something on google tag manager the events are not popping up, they are only registering under GA4. How do I get that to show up on google tag manager so I can properly connect to my google ads account?
Do you plan to create video about "Consent Settings" in Google Tag Manager maybe? I've noticed this new beta settings in my recommendations in the Google Ads account. I've read the information on the Google support sites but I'm a little confused. I'm not sure what and how I should do to implement the consent settings in correct way. Thanks for your job. It's very useful.
No, I don't plan that. I have already recorded a lesson about that in my course analyticsmania.com/courses/google-tag-manager-course-for-beginners. And yes, this topic is confusing. I have ~45 minutes of content about consent mode and how to implement it.
Hi Julius, great video, thanks for uploading this. at 19:04, "you also connected GA4 with UA...." this is a bit confusing. Probably "connected with Google Ads"... Please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers.
Hello, thank you for the great explanation. Using that method how can I add a referral exclusion list ? I'm using a 3rd party website for checkout and payment and most of these conversions aren't reported. Thank you
Hey, for some reason when I check the data layer info on the preview mode, the number itself appears green and not red. The value also isn't being tracked. What might be the issue?
do i need to set convertion repetedly for each product if i don't need so how can gtm defined which product has purchesed for different landing page also pls ans me do i need to create same convertion event repetedly for different landing page
I've a little problem : Missing Google Tag Manager as a Conversion Tag Setup Option (just install the tag yourself and email the tag). What should i do?
I created the conversion action but the option for Tag Manager is not showing up?? I'm only getting "Install the tag yourself" or "Email tag to your webmaster" help!
Hi, thank you for this movies, they help me a lot. I’-‚ already tracking conversions in Google Analytics 4 an this works great. But when I add conversion tracking for google ads it shows that TAG is fired but fire status is Failed. I use this for online store. Tag is fired on Purchase event. Maybe you've come across such a problem and find solution?
Thanks for a great video. Just a thought... GA4 allows you to modify your attribution model. What if I decide to make G Ads and GA4 attribution models the same, so the data imported to G Ads becomes accurate?
Hello! Very amazing video! Can I also track conversion on a website that I don't own? For example I launched a game on a host platform. Can I still track and convert?
Is it possible to see Google Ads conversions in GA4? There is a lot of info on sending conversions into Google Ads from GA4 but not the other way around. Thanks!
My website doesn't redirect to a thank-you page after filling out a contact form. It simply provides a thank-you message just below the contact form after completion. Can I still get the tag to trigger?
Great tutorial thanks. One thing I'm confused about - do I still need to input the global site tag onto the site, on all pages? Or is having the Conversion Tracking setup inside Tag Manager enough to track everything? As a non-user of tag manger, I've always put the hard code of the global site tag on all pages then the event snippet on the thank-you page, for example, and I'm a bit confused about that setup now with tag manager.
Hi, can we track from an eshop how many products are sold per purchase? Now i can see the sales but i want to see if an ad is worth per price and per product.
At the 3:09 mark in the video there are three options. Recently I came across a scenario where the Tag manager option is not showing up. Does anyone know why?
Hey there, thanks for the video. Do you know why in my tag setup I can only see the option "Install the tag yourself" and "Email the tag"? There is no option to use GTM.
Hello, I followed all the steps but there is not TAG Trigger when I test it. Even the Tag Assistant doesn't display that there is a tag and it even says that there is no connection to Google Analytics. But my google analytics is connected to my page.
Hi Julius, great video. When in preview mode i saw the tag is fired. But on live website using Tag Assistant Legacy, i getting this error: An error occured while the tag was fired: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED, what seems to be the problem here?
Julius. I am confused when you said something about the emailSubscriber (5:30-5:45). You said "Let's say..I have asked the developer to add this..." What do you mean? Every Google Ads conversion I want to create, I need to ask the developer every time to create an event on the page I want to create? I am confused. I hope you can help
There are various ways to implement event tracking. Some might require developer's input, some can be done without him/her. But that depends on your GTM skills. I teach both options in my course here www.analyticsmania.com/courses/google-tag-manager-course-for-beginners/
Hey so like a few of these other guys it does not give me the option to use my google tag manager to implement it and I can not for the life of me figure out why. My questions for you are do you have both google tag manager and google ads linked to your site? I use wix and it allows me to link the accounts straight from their platform yet it says I should not install gtm and a Gtag at the same time so I have not linked the ads account I only linked gtm and analytics. The only other thing I can think of is that I linked my google ads account with my google analytics account, do you think this could be the reason it does not give me the option to use gtm like it does for you? Any help is appreciated this is giving me a headache
By completing this course you would solve many of your tracking issues www.analyticsmania.com/courses/google-tag-manager-course-for-beginners/ (including form tracking and "email subscriber" event)
Hey Julius, thanks a ton for this video. Is there a way we can retrieve through which email ID the GTM account was created? We can provide all the proofs of ownership of the website, GA account etc. I'm with an agency and we've lost track of the Gmail ID that was used to create the GTM with the former colleagues moving out and all the tags are firing through it now. TIA.
They have removed the option to use google tag manager now. Used this method for the last 2 years. Now when im setting up a new tag the only option is adding a Global site tag in the code on your website. Have you seen this?
Depends on a website and how advanced are you with GTM. This can eventually lead you to using variables like URL variable, DOM element variable, writing custom JavaScript. So if the question is "is it possible?", the answer is yes (if data is available in some other way on a website). But those other methods are more advanced and there is no single universal rule that applies to all websites. I have a dedicated module in this course that teaches how to access custom data without data layer www.analyticsmania.com/courses/intermediate-google-tag-manager-course/
I am having issues with conversions... google is displaying less than what I'm getting, is this normal now? My GTM integration is working, I have tested it. But it's not registering every conversion.
@@AnalyticsMania So it's normal, wanted to know that because the past week I have had 4 leads (which is great for my niche), though only 1 conversion registered. Would be great if Google copied what Facebook made, their Conversion API from server side and x-match the results with unique ids.
got the same issue but still trying to figure out how to fix it. When i create a new conversion the GoogleAds asks for a URL and doesnt show the GTM option for tracking.
Important: Google Ads interface changed. Watch this updated tutorial instead czcams.com/video/tFNX6Z0gQpo/video.html
I spent 5 hours trying to figure all this out and then your video helped me get it within 15 minutes! Thank you!
Amazing, I already have 3 courses that cover ads but none of them were able to explain how to do it in a simple way like you did. Thank you so much.

Hey Julius,
Great as usual, much appreciated, please keep it up, you are amazing. 👏
This was a great tutorial. Sadly, as of July 2022, there is no longer a valid pathway for GTM to Google Ads.
Just copy conversion label and conversion ID from the gtag snippet and use that in the GTM tag

I am having issues with conversions... google is displaying less than what I'm getting, is this normal now? My GTM integration is working, I have tested it. But it's not registering every conversion.
You will neber have 100% accuracy. That's the reality. 10% discrepancy is ok. If you are using cookie consent popup, then even 50% accuracy is good
@@AnalyticsMania So it's normal, wanted to know that because the past week I have had 4 leads (which is great for my niche), though only 1 conversion registered.
Would be great if Google copied what Facebook made, their Conversion API from server side and x-match the results with unique ids.
If im setting up a purchase conversion, what should the triggers be?
Triggers can be different on every website and everything depends on the context.
@@AnalyticsMania thanks for the reply. I guess it has everything to do with data layers?
Not necessarily. But it might.
