Setting Up Google Ads Tracking

To ensure ClickSambo can protect your campaigns, your Google Ads account must be configured with our tracking template. We offer two methods: an easy automated connection (recommended for most users) and a manual setup for those who prefer it.

Option 1: Automated Connection (Recommended)

This is the fastest and most reliable method. It creates a secure link to automate the initial setup and allows for easy re-synchronization in the future.

Part A: Initial One-Time Connection
Whether you are signing up for a new account or are in your Account Settings > Connections tab, you begin by clicking the Connect to Google Ads button.

You will be guided through a secure Google authorization process. The moment you grant permission, ClickSambo automatically performs the initial setup for you:

Sets Your Tracking Template: We instantly push your unique ClickSambo tracking code into the "Tracking template" field in your Google Ads settings.

Enables Auto-Tagging: We automatically turn on the auto-tagging feature, which is essential for accurate fraud analysis.

Part B: Ongoing Updates with the 'Update Tracking' Button
After the initial connection is complete, the Connect button in your Connections menu will be replaced with an Update Tracking Template button.

This button allows you to manually trigger a re-sync at any time. When you click it, ClickSambo will again automatically push the latest version of your tracking template into your Google Ads account.

You should use this Update Tracking Template button if:

You want to verify your settings are correct.

You suspect the template in Google Ads was accidentally changed or deleted.

ClickSambo announces an update or improvement to the tracking template.

Option 2: Manual Tracking Template Setup

This method is for users who prefer not to link their Google Ads account.

Step-by-Step Guide

In ClickSambo: Navigate to your Domain Tracking Setup page and copy the code under "Clicksambo's Google Ads Tracking Template".

In Google Ads: Log in and go to All campaigns > Settings > Account Settings > Tracking.

Paste the Template: Paste the ClickSambo code into the "Tracking template" field.

⚠️ CRITICAL: If you already have a code in this field, DO NOT REPLACE IT. You must append the ClickSambo template to your existing one. Please contact our support for assistance.

Enable Auto-Tagging: Manually verify that Auto-tagging is enabled in your Account Settings.

Save your changes in Google Ads.
