Why this channel playbook works

LeadToSheet captures UTM parameters, gclid values, and browser metadata so you can calculate cost-per-lead and pipeline speed without leaving Sheets. Marketing and sales teams stay aligned on the exact campaigns driving revenue.

Append the LeadToSheet snippet globally and we store gclid, keyword, and match type for every conversion.

Pro tip: Use a hidden input mapped to `campaignId` to reconcile with Google Ads exports.

FAQs

Does LeadToSheet capture gclid for offline conversions?
Yes. We log gclid in a dedicated column so you can upload offline conversions back to Google Ads.
What if campaigns use auto-tagging only?
Auto-tagging still produces gclid values—LeadToSheet captures them without extra parameters.
Can I combine spend data automatically?
Use the Google Ads API or exported CSV joined with your LeadToSheet data via VLOOKUP or query functions.
