01

Choose the outcome

Define a qualified lead, booked appointment, accepted quote or sale with rules the team can apply consistently.

02

Capture supported identifiers

The initial lead may preserve click identifiers or first-party information according to Google requirements, consent and privacy obligations.

03

Record the outcome in operations

The CRM or dashboard must store the conversion time, value or category required for the import.

04

Upload through a supported method

Google Ads API, enhanced conversions for leads or an approved integration can send the later outcome.

05

Monitor diagnostics

Imports can be accepted but match poorly. Use platform diagnostics and compare the volume with the operational source.
