This article describes how to set up the Google Ads Conversion Tracking & Remarketing (gtag.js) tag (formerly AdWords) in your Tealium iQ Tag Management account.
In this article:
Tag Tips
- Supports the E-Commerce extension for:
- Subtotal/Conversion Value
- Order Currency/Conversion Currency
- Order ID/Transaction ID
- List of Product IDs
- List of Categories
- List of Quantities
- List of Prices
- Use mapping to dynamically override the standard config values and the E-Commerce extension values.
- Pass custom conversion variables by mapping to "Custom Conversion Variable" and replacing "myvar" with your custom variable name.
- Google Ads documentation: https://developers.google.com/adwords-remarketing-tag/
Tag Configuration
First, add the Google Ads Conversion Tracking & Remarketing (gtag.js) tag (Learn more about how to add a tag).
After adding the tag, configure the following settings:
- Conversion ID: Unique ID for the conversion. You can find this ID in your Google Ads control panel (e.g. 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 will automatically pull 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 will override 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 (e.g. "tealiumiq.com").
Data Mappings
Mapping is the process of sending data from a data layer variable to the corresponding destination variable of the vendor tag. For instructions on how to map a variable to a tag destination, see Data Mappings.
