00 / Google Ads · Conversion tracking

Google Ads management & tracking.

We set up your Google Ads campaigns, run them and set up the tracking. A submitted form or a tap on your phone number counts as an inquiry, and you see which campaign it came from. The Google tag only loads once the visitor has given consent.

01 / What we do

What Google Ads management includes.

With Google Ads you pay for the click. Whether it turns into an inquiry depends on the page the ad points to. The only way to see that is tracking.

We take care of all three: the campaign, the tracking and the page behind it.

Search termClicksInquiriesNo inquiry: excluded
  • 01

    Setting up campaigns

    Want someone to set up Google Ads for you? Then we first go through what your customers search for when they need you. That becomes campaigns with their own search terms and ad copy. Each one points to the page that fits its search term.

  • 02

    Running campaigns

    We read the search queries your ads were clicked for. Terms that cost clicks and never bring an inquiry get excluded. What counts is tracked inquiries, not the number of clicks.

    Tracking inquiries

    We set up the conversions: the submitted form and the tap on your phone number. Google Ads gets the inquiry reported back, and the inquiry email says which campaign it came from.

    The page behind the ad

    We build the landing page your ad points to ourselves. When a campaign changes, we adjust the page at the same time.

02 / Client project

An appraisal firm that sees in the email where the inquiry came from.

Burak Burma is a vehicle appraiser with an inspection hall in Duisburg. His website, ads and consulting come from us.

His new site was meant to show which ad brought in an inquiry. If the visitor has given consent, it reports the inquiry back to Google Ads and to the ads in ChatGPT.

03 / What we track

Conversion tracking: what gets tracked, and what doesn’t.

A number in Google Ads is only as good as what counts as an inquiry. We tell you up front what each number means.

  • 01

    The form

    It counts once the form is submitted, not when the page opens. The campaign then also shows up in the email you receive.

  • 02

    The call

    What counts is the tap on your number. Whether a conversation followed, the tracking can’t see. That’s why we count calls separately from the form.

  • 03

    Without consent

    If a visitor declines, their inquiry still arrives, just without the campaign. So Google Ads counts fewer inquiries than land in your inbox.

  • 04

    More than one recipient

    At Dein Gutachter NRW the same inquiry goes to Google Ads and to the ads in ChatGPT. One measurement on the site, two recipients, both only after consent.

04 / Consent

Cookie banner: ask first, then load.

The Google tag sets cookies and sends data to Google. That’s why on the sites we build it only loads after consent.

    Nothing from third parties before

    Before consent, the Dein Gutachter NRW site loads nothing from third-party servers. It serves fonts and Google reviews itself.

  • 02

    A banner only when needed

    On zeasy.software the cookie banner only appears when a service needs consent. Without such a service, the site doesn’t ask.

    In the privacy policy

    Every service that loads only after consent gets its own section there: what it’s for, on what legal basis and how you withdraw consent.

05 / What it costs

How much does Google Ads management cost?

We bill setting up campaigns, tracking and the landing page by the hour. The calculator on the contact page gives you a cost estimate for the landing page in four questions, and the one for campaigns and tracking you get from us in the intro call.

Ongoing management is a separate package, because it isn’t a one-off job. What it covers for you and what it costs, we work out in the intro call. Google’s click costs come on top.

Four questions, then you see budget and weeks.

What it’s about, how big, how demanding, how urgent. No obligation and no contact details. If you send an inquiry afterwards, you don’t type anything twice.

06 / How it works

Tracking first, then the first ad.

With us, a campaign only goes live once a test inquiry has arrived in Google Ads and in your inbox.

  1. 01

    Intro call

    What do your customers search for? Which service should get more inquiries? What counts as an inquiry for you?

  2. 02

    Setting up tracking

    Create form and call conversions, put the Google tag behind consent, send a test inquiry.

  3. 03

    Page and campaigns

    Build or adjust the landing page, set up campaigns with search terms and ad copy. You see both before they go live.

  4. 04

    Running

    Adjust search terms and ads based on tracked inquiries. You hear from us what we changed and why.

07 / Questions

Questions about Google Ads and tracking.

What does Google Ads management include?
Four things. We set up campaigns with their own search terms and ad copy. We read the search queries and exclude terms that only cost clicks. We track form and call as inquiries. And we build the landing page the ad points to.
How much does Google Ads management cost?
We bill setting up campaigns, tracking and the landing page by the hour. The calculator on the contact page gives you a cost estimate for the landing page in four questions. Ongoing management is a separate package, and we tell you the price in the intro call. The intro call costs €0. Google’s click costs come on top.
What is conversion tracking?
A conversion is the action that counts for you, usually an inquiry. Conversion tracking links it to the click on the ad. Then Google Ads shows, next to the clicks, which campaign brought in inquiries.
How do you track calls from Google Ads?
On your website, a tap on the phone number counts as a conversion. We set it up as its own action next to the form. Whether a conversation actually happened, this method doesn’t track. We tell you that before you read the numbers.
Do I need a cookie banner for conversion tracking?
With us, the Google tag only loads after consent, so a banner is part of it. The ads themselves run without a banner too, but then without tracking on your site. If a visitor declines, their inquiry still arrives, just without the campaign.
Can you also track ads in ChatGPT?
Yes. At Dein Gutachter NRW the site reports the same inquiry to Google Ads and to the ads in ChatGPT, both only after consent.
How quickly do the ads go live?
Ads appear as soon as Google has approved them. With us, a campaign only goes live once a test inquiry has arrived in Google Ads and in your inbox. After that, the tracking shows which campaign brings inquiries.
Are Google Ads worth it for small businesses?
They are worth it when an inquiry brings you more than the clicks leading up to it have cost. Whether that’s the case for you, the tracking shows: which campaign brings inquiries and which only brings clicks. At Dein Gutachter NRW, an appraisal firm with its own inspection hall, the website, ads and consulting come from us. The owner says his revenue has gone up since then.
Google Ads or SEO, which is better?
Ads appear as soon as they are approved, and only for as long as you pay for them. Where you show up without an ad depends on your site itself, and that’s what SEO is about. If you have both, the tracking shows which route brings you inquiries.
Is Google Ads management the same as SEA management?
Almost. SEA stands for search engine advertising, meaning paid ads in search engines. Google Ads is Google’s advertising system and used to be called Google AdWords. Whoever talks about SEA, AdWords or Google Ads management usually means the same work.
Are you a Google Ads agency?
We’re a software studio from Duisburg that builds websites and manages the ads that go with them. That’s why campaign, tracking and landing page come from one team.
Do you manage Google Ads only in Duisburg or across Germany?
Across Germany. Our office is in Duisburg, and our clients come from all over Germany. We set up campaigns and tracking remotely and talk to you by phone.

Tell us briefly about your project

The intro call costs nothing, and neither does the cost estimate after it. If what you need can be bought off the shelf, we tell you its name and send no invoice.
