I’ve set-up some Google Ads conversion tracking using your Google Ads Conversion Tracking template. Do I still need to add Google’s conversion linker tag? I don’t see any help articles that clarify this (There is a help that shows to do it IF I’m manually the Google Ads conversion tag, Adding Google Ads Conversion Linker via Piwik PRO - Optizent)
Google Ads conversion linker is kind of unrelated to Piwik Pro itself. From my experience it can impact mostly Safari users when you are using simple Google Ads conversion code, and it was made to counter apple inteligent tracking protection.
Should you install it? It depends on your setup. If your google ads conversion code is made with gtag.js you can skip it.
Thanks for the info. I prefer to use Google Ad’s own tracking. I did also set-up a Google Ads remarketing tag using the provided template but wanted to check on adding the linker which you’ve confirmed I don’t need.
Finally getting around to testing this with PP tag debugger. The tag logic is set to fire the GA conversion when the URL contains “/contact-us/thank-you/”
Hi David,
I don’t see our consent banner on your website and the tag is set to fire when you have a conversion tracking consent. That might be the case why the tag is not firing.
Still says “not fired” for me when I use the PP tag debugger and only enter the site after clearing my cookies (which I actually think does not matter for testing the tag). So, unfortunately, I have no confidence in PP tag manager to properly fire the Google Ads tag. I will probably have to continue using GTM.
Reread my original post. I was unable to get the Piwik tag to fire to confirm that I was getting conversion tracking. GTM handled it without any issue.
There should be a text saying “Not Fired” under “FIRED”, but as you can see, there is “DNT” instead (which means “Do Not Track”). With DNT enabled, this tag won’t fire no matter the conditions. This could be caused by some blocking script/software you had enabled when taking the screenshot.
It would be beneficial to change the tag to fire when page URL contains your sites URL (instead of equals). Your current setup can cause some issues with firing the tag. Right now the tag won’t work for a user who visits https://www.infralia.com/bedankt-offerte-aanvraag (this URL has no slash / at the end).
