    • List of Quantities
    • List of Prices
  • Use mapping to dynamically override the standard configuration values and the E-Commerce extension values.

  • Google Ads documentation

Tag Configuration

First, go to Tealium's tag marketplace and add the Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Remarketing (gtag.js) tag (Learn more about how to add a tag).

After adding the tag, configure the following settings:

  • Conversion ID
    • Required.
    • Unique ID for the conversion.
    • You can find this ID in your Google Ads control panel.
    • Example: AW-123456789
    • Use mapping to dynamically override this value.
    • Use a comma-separated list to send data for multiple properties.
  • Conversion Label
    • Set a default label here and use mapping to dynamically override this value.
    • Use a comma-separated list to send data for multiple labels.
    • This list can use a matching number of Conversion Labels as Conversion IDs or use a single label for all Conversion IDs.
  • Conversion Value
    • Set a default value here or leave this blank to use the Subtotal value from the E-Commerce extension.
    • Use mapping to dynamically override this value and the E-Commerce extension value.
  • Global Object
    • This is the name of the Global Object used for the event queue, if not specified, gtag is used.
    • This is not required for most implementations.
  • Data Layer Name
    • By default, the data layer initiated and referenced by the global site tag is named dataLayer.
    • Rename the data layer only if your project requires a separate name.
  • Enable Remarketing
    • When Remarketing is enabled, this tag automatically pulls in data from the E-Commerce Extension to populate the Google Ads Retail parameters.
    • Prefix: ecomm_.
    • Mapping directly to the Retail tab in the toolbox overrides the data pulled in via the E-Commerce Extension.
  • Page Type
    • Select a default page type here and use mapping to dynamically override this value.
  • Cross-Tracking Domains
    • A comma-separated list of domains to use with Cross-Domain Tracking (setAllowLinker).
    • This should be the top level domain. For example: tealiumiq.com
  • Enable Enhanced Conversions
    • Support for enhanced conversions was added in June, 2022. If you are running an older version of the tag and want to use this feature, you must update the tag template. For more information, see: Managing Tag Templates.
    • The Enhanced Conversions for Web feature can improve the accuracy of your conversion measurements. It supplements your existing conversion tags by sending hashed first-party conversion data from your website in a privacy safe way.
    • Before enabling Enhanced Conversions, you must first accept the Customer Data Terms of Service in your Google Ads account (Tools and Settings > Measurement/Conversions > Settings > Customer Data Terms).
    • If you are using the server-side Enhanced Conversions for Web connector to supplement this client-side tag, map a unique value, such as tealium_random,  to Transaction ID for non-purchase conversions to enable Google to deduplicate the event. In addition, within the Google Ads configuration for your conversion, set Implementation Type to API.
    • For more information on how to set up this tag to work with the Google Ads Enhanced Conversion connector in EventStream, see: Tealium + Google Enhanced Conversions Integration Guide.
