Why Google Ads matters in your stack

Google Ads optimizes for whatever conversion you feed it — and most behavioral health advertisers feed it form fills or page views. The problem? A form fill is not an admission. Without sending real, downstream outcomes back to Google, Smart Bidding ends up optimizing for the wrong audience.

Our Salesforce + Google Ads integration uses the Enhanced Conversions and Offline Conversion Imports APIs to push qualified-lead, intake-completed, and admitted-patient events back to the originating Google click. Suddenly Google’s algorithm starts optimizing for your real revenue events.

We also pull campaign, keyword, and GCLID data into Salesforce so your reports finally tie revenue to the keyword that produced it.

Challenges We Solve

Optimizing on Junk

Smart Bidding chasing form fills that never become admissions, burning ad spend on tire-kickers.

Missing GCLID

GCLID never captured at form submit, breaking offline conversion uploads forever.

No Keyword-to-Revenue View

Marketing reports stop at cost-per-lead because revenue lives in Salesforce.

iOS / Cookie Loss

First-party data not being leveraged to recover signal lost to privacy changes.

Real-World Use Cases

Offline Conversion Upload

Automated daily uploads of admitted-patient events back to Google Ads, attributed to the original click.

Enhanced Conversions

Hashed first-party data sent to Google to recover modeled conversions in privacy-restricted browsers.

Audience Sync
