Understanding the Automatic Setup

The easiest and most reliable way to integrate ClickSambo is by using our Automatic Setup process.

When you connect your Google Ads account, ClickSambo automatically configures the necessary settings for you. This saves you manual work and ensures a perfect setup for accurate fraud detection.

What This Process Does Automatically

ClickSambo, a certified Google Click Tracker partner, has been verified by Google as securely integrated with the Google Ads platform.

When you grant permission, our system makes two standard, automated changes to your account:

Feature / SettingDescriptionWhy it is Essential
Auto-taggingEnsuring the "Auto-tagging" feature in your Google Ads settings is enabled.It appends a unique gclid (Google Click ID) to your URLs, allowing every visit to be traced to a specific click.
Tracking TemplateAdding the unique ClickSambo tracking URL to your account-level Tracking Template.It allows for detailed click analysis and data gathering without interfering with your ad's final landing page.
