Google Ads Offline Conversion Tracking & Conversion Mapping

The Google Ads integration in MoverMate allows you to send offline conversion events such as quoted leads, booked jobs, and completed jobs directly to Google Ads.This enables Google to optimise campaigns based on real outcomes instead of just enquiries, helping improve lead quality and overall return on ad spend.

What is Offline Conversion Tracking

Offline conversion tracking refers to tracking actions that happen after a lead is created, such as:

  • A lead being qualified

  • A job being booked

  • A job being completed

These events occur within MoverMate and are sent back to Google Ads to improve

campaign performance.

How It Works

1. A customer clicks your Google Ad

2. The customer submits an enquiry

3. A lead is created in MoverMate

4. As the lead progresses, events are triggered:

  • Lead is quoted

  • Lead is converted into a job

  • Job is completed

5. These events are sent to Google Ads as conversions

Google then uses this data to optimise future ad performance.


Prerequisites

Before setting up the integration, ensure the following:

  • You have an active Google Ads account

  • Conversion actions are created in Google Ads

  • You have access to the Google Ads account (Admin or Standard access)

  • Your website or landing pages capture the Google Click ID (GCLID)

  • If using webhook or Zapier integrations, ensure that GCLID is passed through the

    webhook and stored in MoverMate


Part 1 Create Conversion Actions in Google Ads

Before connecting Google Ads to MoverMate, you need to create conversion actions inside your Google Ads account. You will need to create three conversion actions:

  • Qualified Lead — for when a lead is marked as quoted

  • Book Appointment — for when a lead is converted into a job

  • Converted Lead — for when a job is completed

Follow the steps below to create each one. Repeat this process three times, once for each conversion action.

Step 1: Log in to your Google Ads account

Log in to the Google Ads account that is actively used to run your campaigns.

Step 2: Navigate to Goals > Conversions

In the left sidebar, click Goals, then select Conversions. You will see the Conversions Summary screen.

Step 3: Click "New conversion action"

Click the New conversion action button to begin creating a conversion.

Step 4: Select the conversion category

On the "Group your conversions" screen, select the category that matches the conversion action you are creating:

  • For Qualified Lead → select Qualified lead

  • For Book Appointment → select Qualified lead

  • For Converted Lead → select Converted lead

Step 5: Click "+ Create conversion"

After selecting the category, you will be taken to the "Create and measure conversions" screen. Click + Create conversion to proceed.

Step 6: Select "Connect data source later"

A dropdown will appear asking you to select a data source. Choose Connect data source later, as MoverMate will upload conversions via API.

Step 7: Edit conversion settings

Click Edit settings to open the Conversion Settings panel. Here you can rename the conversion action (e.g. Movermate Qualified Lead offline (Upload)), set the action optimisation, and configure value settings. Click Done to save.

Step 8: Confirm the conversion action is saved

You will be returned to the "Create and measure conversions" screen. Confirm that your conversion action appears with the correct name and a Primary tag.

Step 9: Save and finish

Click Save and continue, then click Finish on the summary screen.

Repeat the remaining conversion actions

Go back to Step 3 and repeat the process to create Book Appointment and Converted Lead. Once all three are created, proceed to Part 2 below.

Part 2: Connect Google Ads to MoverMate

Step 1: Connect Google Ads

1. Go to Settings

2. Click on App Integration

3. Locate Google Ads

4. Enable the integration

5. Click Authorise

You will be redirected to Google Sign-In.


Step 2: Sign in and Grant Access

1. Select your Google account

2. Click Continue

3. Grant the requested permissions

If you see a warning stating that Google has not verified the app, proceed by clicking

Continue. This is expected in testing environments.


Step 3: Select Google Ads Account

  • After authorisation:

  • Choose the correct Google Ads account from the list

  • Ensure this is the same Google Ads account used to run your campaigns

  • Google Ads does not allow offline conversions to be uploaded from a different

  • account

  • Click Save


Recommended Mapping Setup

It is strongly recommended to create custom conversion actions in Google Ads and map them accordingly in MoverMate.

Use the following mapping for best results:

  • When a lead is marked as quoted → Qualified Lead

  • When a lead is converted into a job → Book Appointment

  • When a job is completed → Converted Lead


Why Use Custom Mapping

Creating custom conversion actions in Google Ads allows you to:

  • Align conversion tracking with your actual sales process

  • Differentiate between lead quality stages

  • Optimise campaigns based on real business outcomes

  • Improve bidding accuracy and return on ad spend

Instead of tracking only enquiries, this approach enables Google to understand which

leads turn into bookings and completed jobs.


Explanation of Each Mapping

Lead Marked as Quoted → Qualified Lead

This represents a lead that has been reviewed and quoted, indicating higher intent

compared to a raw enquiry. This helps Google focus on better-quality leads.

Lead Converted into a Job → Book Appointment

This represents a confirmed booking. This should be treated as your primary conversion event, as it reflects a customer committing to your service.

Job Completed → Converted Lead

This represents a fully completed job and a paying customer. This is the most valuable signal you can send to Google, as it reflects actual revenue.

Step 5: Save Configuration

After mapping all events, click Save to apply the configuration.


How Google Uses This Data

Once configured, Google Ads will:

  • Learn which campaigns generate qualified leads

  • Optimise towards bookings rather than just enquiries

  • Prioritise campaigns that result in completed jobs

  • This creates a full-funnel optimisation process.


Troubleshooting & Important Notes

If you are experiencing issues with the Google Ads integration, check the following:

  • Ensure you are logged into the correct Google account with access to the Ads account

  • If you see an “App not verified” warning, you can proceed by clicking Continue

  • while the app is not verified

  • Confirm that conversion actions are created in Google Ads

  • Verify that conversion mapping is correctly configured in MoverMate

  • Ensure GCLID is being captured properly from your website

  • Allow up to 24–48 hours for conversions to appear in Google Ads

Ensure conversions are mapped accurately, as incorrect mapping can negatively impact campaign optimization.
