Template Installation:
Verify: Is the ClickSambo tracking template copied precisely into your Google Ads account?
Location: Is it applied at the correct level (Account, Campaign, Ad Group, or Keyword)?
Template Merging (if using UTMs/Custom):
Correct Merge: If you have an existing template, ensure you've merged ClickSambo's parameters correctly, not just replaced them. Pay attention to ? and &.
**{lpurl}** Position: Is {lpurl} (your landing page URL placeholder) correctly nested within ClickSambo's target_url= parameter?
Auto-tagging Enabled:
Necessity: ClickSambo relies on Google Ads' auto-tagging for crucial data like GCLID.
Verify: In Google Ads, go to Settings > Account settings > Auto-tagging and ensure it's enabled.
Conflicting Scripts:
Interference: Other third-party redirects or website scripts can sometimes interfere.
Test: Temporarily disable non-essential scripts to isolate if they're causing issues.
How to Test: After any adjustments, perform a test click on one of your live ads, then immediately check your ClickSambo dashboard's "Visits" section to confirm data appears correctly, especially GCLID and other parameters.
