[@JJ-yr3tf]

I subscribed. You speak in a very calm understandable tone, are concise and clear with your instructions. Very much appreciated.

[@UnsaidCat]

1000 times yes to enhanced conversions!! Please! Your videos are super helpful and I just can't get my head around that ha!

[@itssb25]

Hey Benjamin! Hope you are doing great. You are doing an awesome job and I don't know you personally, but can say for sure from the way you present information, that you are a great human. Keep up the good work.

[@emiliom.escayol3010]

Thanks Benjamin! This is really helpful. And yes to enhanced conversions!

[@KeywordResearchSimplified]

*I always struggled with conversion tracking, but your detailed steps made it super manageable.*

[@AminsHub]

One of the best content on google ads conversion tracking. Please give Enhanced Conversions tutorial :)

[@scorpionmonarch]

Yes, please create enhanced conversion video. I love your videos! 🙂

[@MrsMeritxell]

Your videos are very informative and easy to follow, thank you so much for your helpful content! And yes, please, make the Enhanced Conversions video, it will be so useful for newsletters.

[@JaniMolin]

Thanks for the video. Can you make another video for how to setup Google Ads conversion tracking using Tag Manager _with_ enhanced conversions setup and using a cookie consent banner? This would be the real life scenario for most users currently, I think.

[@LovesData]

I cover cookie consent in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIjJpadpnKybe6M and what I cover in this video will automatically work with Consent Mode. Then enhanced conversions is over here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqWpoKeVf7Fje68 but I’m also gauging to see if there is enough interest in an updated video covering enhanced conversions too.

[@skyrocket_sanie]

Hi! Yes, to learning more about the enhanced conversion set up from you.

[@FAB913]

BUT YOU DIDNT SHOW THE VARIABLES PARAMETERS !!!!!

[@AsmaConors]

Concise and informative!!!

[@elliotfriar1529]

Hello! Your videos have been very helpful, thank you - but I'm a bit confused: In the e-commerce tracking video linked in your description, it does not show the set-up of variables like "Ecommerce Value." I've successfully set up the e-commerce tag and trigger, but there are no e-commerce specific variables (i.e. such as Value). I do have a GA4 Event Name variable pulling in e-commerce event_name. Would this suffice under the "Conversion Value" "Transaction ID" and "Currency" fields. Thank you again for your videos!

[@richardbujda8507]

got the same problem, have you managed to solve it? thanks!

[@chrishampe]

I also need help with this too, My User-Defined Variables section is empty

[@kmachakaire]

We're soldiers of the same struggle. I desperately need this solution

[@m_reis]

Very helpful as always, Benjamin. Thank you so much!

[@LovesData]

My pleasure!

[@weebster6198]

He shows the variables setup in an analytics video or you can go to his website you have to give him your email to download a preset you can then import into your Google tag manager

[@rosweb]

Hey! Thank you for this and all your other videos for years! One question, when importing conversions from GA4 into Ads, this option from the above is not possible. How is it possible that you get the Ads Label from that?

[@DanieleTari]

gret video as usual, your content is always very precious, thanks! a stupid question: once i created the native conversions in Ads then automatically they are trasmetted in the report of ga4? or we have to do some kind of implemententions on ga4?

[@ushiealex2295]

Great video. Here is my question, When setting up the trigger, you created a custom event {which fires when all custom events happens} How then will Tag manager know that a particular custom event is indded a purchase? I thought in order to set a trigger for purchase it had to be a pageview event on the URL of the "thank you page" or similar page. Please advice. Thank you

[@guyturck2015]

I'm wondering the exact same thing and you are correct about the trigger normally being a pageview event (in ecommerce this would typically the thank you page URL). In any event, there has to more to it than just the name of a custom event, doesn't there? He did specify that 'purchase' was to be lower case and I'm wondering why that would be. But a great vid nonetheless :)

[@AdRock952]

Finally found something that helped me get my conversion id

[@AleksandarJanca]

You didn't include the link for the video where you are setting up the ecommerce variables and I am looking for it and watching other videos that are out of context with this one

[@ShawnChe]

Thanks for sharing this, you are a star! have a question, if we have multicurrencies website, how can we standardise it in one currency in conversion value?

[@jabbamonk]

You jump to a browser tab for Google Tag Manager (3:20) ... but don't say how to get there. I had to search for Google Tag Manager, but my admin was completely different. Even with Google Analytics setup, I had to create an account for the Tag Manager (ANOTHER google account!) for that specific website ... then I saw the menus options that you show in the video ... but no tags were setup on the TAGS page ... and there were no instructions on how to get where you were (with a list of the two tags ...). I tried getting to where you were on my own ... but setting up the tags was not very straight forward. Going to have to look elsewhere for another video...

[@marketzest5897]

how do you track upsells? Is that dynamic conversion value or do you create another conversion. What is the best practice here for clickfunnel upsells tracking without overtrackinng or undertracking?

[@Mahiejr]

Super informative video thanks a lot! And yes - I'm interested in enhanced conversions especially for lead generation forms collecting personal info from it. Could you pls make a detailed video on how to set up datalayer variables, tags, and triggers for that? I would appreciate any help

[@LovesData]

I'm glad you liked it! And thanks for the suggestion.

[@NomadicEdyl]

What's the Difference Between Using the Google Ads Tag in GTM vs. Importing GA4 Data into Google Ads? I'm currently confused because all my GA4 values in Google Ads appear ambiguous. Could you explain the difference between setting up Google Ads conversions using the Google Ads tag in Google Tag Manager (GTM) versus importing conversions directly from GA4 into Google Ads?

[@larbiamine681]

Could you do a video on how to set up a serverside tracking?

[@g.dochev]

Thank you for the tutorial. Unfortunately - for me the option to "use g-tag manager" for the tracking is missing and I don't know what to do. EDIT: I found you other video explaining why it happens. You are amazing, thank you!

[@alealexandra90]

hello! could you tell me what video was that? i have the same problem

[@g.dochev]

@@alealexandra90 I'm not sure I can add a link here. The title is "Why Google Tag Manager Isn't Showing For Google Ads Conversion Tracking"

[@bhadrinath.official]

Thanks a lot! Enhanced conversions, yes please :)

Hi Benjamin. I am a little confuse, because of this situation...Imagine I have implemented all the the events via DL and push them to GA4? 1 - If we do the process of creating conversions in GAds aren't we duplicating events in GTM? 2 - Can't we use the imported events to set up GAds tracking tag? I'm asking because I don't see that option. Thank you.

[@chrishampe]

When I get to the step @ 3:38 I dont see anything under the "User-Defined Variables" section, How do I set these up?

[@hi_1833]

Hi! Do you happen to have the same but for leads, with values and differentiating between qualified and converted leads?

[@gx93117]

More details on enhanced conversion please!

[@dasoultaker]

Conversion tracking - lead gen I track my signups as secondary conversions, while primary conversions are categorized as qualified and converted leads. For instance, out of a total of 10 leads, 5 are qualified. Among these 5 qualified leads, 3 eventually make a payment or convert. I maintain two separate offline conversion action sheets: one for qualified leads and the other for converted leads. Is this the right approach, or should I focus solely on tracking qualified leads as the primary conversion metric?

[@JasonHegg-u2q]

Thanks for the video!

[@MohamedGamal-fe8pn]

thank you but why you don't give more info why you choose initial than all page view? what is the difference ?

[@davidbarrar5968]

Why would you want the conversion to fire every time? I thought it’s only supposed to fire if someone clicks on your ad first.

[@yiliang-yl6hu]

may i ask, you are using GA4 tag for tracking, not using google ad tag, right ?

[@vijaipidinti8208]

If your having a custom angular website How will tag manager know the purchase event? price , currency , transaction ID ? These need to be passed to tag manager right ? can u advise that ?

[@nick_rusch]

Yes to enhanced conversions. Especially when user data isn’t passed though. My understanding is there are additional steps?

[@digitalanalyticspro]

Thank you so much dear loves data

[@JJ-yr3tf]

Where did all the ecommerce value / transaction / currency come from ? Did you set it up previously?

[@ajk-s1e]

Good question, I have installed the custom value explained in "Ecommerce Tracking video" but in GTM there is no User-Defined Variables...

[@LovesData]

I cover ecommerce tracking in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ22fZelg7CNg6s and my pre-configured container includes the User-Defined Variables. You can get that at: secure.lovesdata.com/flodesk/?id=gtm-ecommerce-container or you can configure the variables yourself, you can find details in this post: www.lovesdata.com/blog/shopify-google-tag-manager

[@shadowchisau]

I have a question, how will the tag fire on any purchase via the site? But will also transmit the data back to Google Ads on just the purchase (so you are able to differentiate the 2 data courses in your reports)? Would the work the same for other channels like IG, Facebook and Linkedin campaigns?

[@robertlaursoo3125]

It would be so helpful if you could just open one of the User-Defined Variables at 3:38 so that I could see how it is set up. Do you have separate instructional or guide for manually creating User-Defined Variables? I really don't want do import the json just to create couple of variables and I don't understand how to fill the form based on the json file :) Update: Never mind, I think I got it from the json.

[@taboogrowagency]

Do you have a video showing how to configure GA4 conversion tracking for email sign ups? I'm having a hard time because the sign up form is two form_submit events. 1st event goes to a Captcha challenge page, 2nd event goes back to the page they were on.

[@TheEverydayAnimal]

I've done this but I'm curious as to how it pulls through into Google Ads conversion section? Where is it visible?

[@isabellayxu]

Thank you ! Could you also teach us how to create the Conversions via GA4 now is the new option on the Google ads, Thank you.

[@LovesData]

My pleasure! And do you mean importing conversions from GA4 or something else?

[@RapLyricTrivia]

Could this platform possibly get more convoluted?! JFC with all these tags man. 3 tags to setup conversion tracking. And Im not even understanding why in the world you'd use initialization for conversion tracking unless its a thank you page or something. What if its an event?

[@svelli7473]

I now have 3 different ways to track conversions (tag on thank you page, GA4 and the purchase tracking through ads/GTM like explained in this video), and they all underreport. The thank you page tag performs best but far from everything. Any way to fix this?

[@That.Channel593]

The "Use Google Tag Manager" tab isn't there. Not sure what I did wrong here.

tes sir advance conversion setting demo plzzz

[@skydivesunrise-paracadutismo]

in the case of server side configuration, can we create the tags only on the server?

[@LovesData]

Yes, you can create a Google Ads Conversion Tracking tag in a server-side container. However, you will still need a client receive the information and process it in the server-side container (see developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/server-side/intro).

[@svelli7473]

I do not have the option of "Use Google Tag Manager" after making the conversion. Anyone know how to fix this?

[@svelli7473]

For anyone that is looking for an answer - it turns out after scanning the web page a little pop up comes up and you have to click the text to the right (something about using Ads for conversion tracking). This happens when you have GA4 connected.

[@LovesData]

It sounds like you might have created the conversion in Google Ads, but used Google Analytics for the tracking. Is that correct? If so, then you probably saw an alert that said 'Google Analytics will measure conversions...' with the option to 'Use Google Ads only'.

[@svelli7473]
