Before You Read
We’ll walk you through two major steps in setting up your conversion tracking.
The first step will be to confirm event tracking in your Google Analytics account.
The second step is linking your Google Analytics 4 account to your Google Ads account and setting up conversion tracking.
What Your StoragePug Site Tracks
Your StoragePug site automatically tracks the most important conversion types in self storage.
Rent a Unit button clicked
Rent a Unit payment successful
Reserve a Unit button clicked
Reserve a Unit successful
Request a Quote
Contact Form submission
These should already be set up in your Google Analytics 4 account.
Note: Because of how StoragePug sites send data to Google, Google Tag Manager is unnecessary and redundant for most purposes.
Step 1: Confirming Google Analytics Event Tracking
Follow these steps to confirm the correct events are being tracked as conversions.
Sign into Google Analytics
Navigate to Admin on the bottom left
Click on Events under your GA4 property
Use the toggles on the right to mark events as conversions
Step 2: Set Up Conversion Tracking in Google Ads
Once you’ve confirmed that you have the events you desire marked as conversions in Google Analytics, follow these steps to set up your conversion tracking.
Sign into Google Ads
Navigate to Tools and Settings at the top
Click on Linked Accounts under Setup
Find Google Analytics (GA4) & Firebase
On the right, click either Details or Manage & link, depending on what you see
Find your GA4 account and link it. If it’s already linked, DO NOT PRESS UNLINK
Navigate to Tools and Settings then click Conversions under Measurement
Click the blue New conversion action button
Click Import
Select Google Analytics 4 properties and then mark Web
Press Continue at the bottom left of this screen
Mark the checkbox to the left of all events you wish to track as conversions
Note: There is always a purchase event added as default by Google. Your StoragePug website does not use that event. Do not check the box to track this event.
Press the Import and continue button at the bottom
You're Finished!
Once the import completes, click Done!
Your conversion tracking is now set up. Any time someone rents a unit, reserves a unit, requests a quote, or completes any other action you marked as a conversion after coming from a Google Ad, you'll know about it.
This lets you make informed decisions about your ad spend and the return it brings you.
