Track Google Ads Offline Conversions in GoHighLevel

If you manage client campaigns across tools like ClickUp and GoHighLevel, you need accurate conversion data flowing into Google Ads. This guide explains how to set up and manage offline conversion actions so your CRM events are synced back into Google for better optimization and reporting.

By following these steps, you will connect your CRM activities (leads, calls, opportunities, and more) to Google Ads, allowing the platform to learn from real outcomes instead of only online form submissions.

What Are Offline Conversions in GoHighLevel?

Offline conversions are events that happen after the initial ad click, usually inside your CRM or sales process. When configured correctly, these actions are sent from GoHighLevel into Google Ads so you can:

• See which campaigns and keywords generate qualified leads
• Measure sales or high-intent actions that occur in your pipeline
• Optimize bidding using real-world business results

Common offline conversion examples include:

• Lead status changes in your CRM
• Pipeline stage movements (e.g., Qualified, Proposal Sent, Won)
• Closed sales and revenue events
• Inbound or outbound calls that meet a defined threshold

Prerequisites Before You Start in GoHighLevel

Before creating offline conversion actions, confirm the following prerequisites are in place:

• You have admin access to your GoHighLevel account.
• A connected Google Ads account with permission to create conversion actions.
• Google Click ID (GCLID) and/or enhanced conversions correctly implemented on your funnel or website forms.
• CRM objects such as contacts, opportunities, and pipelines already configured.

With these elements in place, you can accurately link ad clicks to CRM events.

Connect Google Ads to Your GoHighLevel Account

The first step is connecting Google Ads so that GoHighLevel can send conversion data back to your ad account.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. Navigate to the location where you want to track conversions.
3. Go to Settings > Integrations.
4. Select the option to connect your Google account.
5. Choose the correct Google Ads account from the list and approve the permissions.

Once this connection is active, you can create offline conversion actions and map them to specific events inside your CRM.

Create Offline Conversion Actions in GoHighLevel

After linking Google Ads, you can configure new offline conversion actions that reflect your sales and lead process.

1. In GoHighLevel, open your location and go to Settings.
2. Find the section dedicated to Google Ads Offline Conversions or similar wording.
3. Click Add New Conversion Action.
4. Enter a clear conversion name that matches your sales event, such as Qualified Lead or Closed Won Deal.
5. Choose the appropriate category (e.g., Lead, Purchase, Signup) to align with Google Ads reporting.
6. Specify whether a value should be sent, and if so, choose a fixed value or a dynamic value from your CRM fields (such as opportunity value).
7. Save the new conversion action.

GoHighLevel will now create or use the corresponding conversion in your connected Google Ads account and prepare to send events when triggers are met.

Map CRM Events to GoHighLevel Conversion Actions

To ensure Google Ads receives meaningful data, you must map each offline conversion action to specific CRM events.

1. Open the offline conversion configuration section in GoHighLevel.
2. Select the conversion action you created for Google Ads.
3. Choose the trigger type, such as:
   • Pipeline stage changed
   • Opportunity status updated
   • Contact tag added
   • Appointment status changed
4. Map the trigger to the exact pipeline stage, tag, or status that should count as a conversion.
5. Define any additional conditions, such as minimum opportunity value or specific pipelines.
6. Save your mapping.

Each time your mapped CRM event occurs, GoHighLevel will prepare an offline conversion for Google Ads using the matching GCLID or enhanced conversion data.

Configure Call-Based Offline Conversions in GoHighLevel

If you rely heavily on phone calls, you can track qualified phone leads as offline conversions as well.

1. From your GoHighLevel location, go to the phone and call tracking settings.
2. Ensure that your tracking numbers are configured and associated with campaigns or funnels.
3. Access the offline conversion mapping area again.
4. Create a conversion action like Qualified Call in GoHighLevel.
5. Set triggers based on call outcomes, such as:
   • Call duration over a certain number of seconds
   • Call status (e.g., connected, completed)
   • Disposition codes, if used
6. Link these triggers to the new Google Ads conversion action.

This setup allows you to treat meaningful calls as conversions even when they happen after an ad click and outside your website.

How GoHighLevel Sends Offline Conversions to Google Ads

GoHighLevel uses the identifiers captured during the ad click to match CRM events back to Google Ads. In practice, this usually involves:

• Capturing the GCLID from the ad click when a user submits a form or becomes a contact.
• Storing that identifier inside the contact or opportunity record.
• Sending a conversion to Google Ads when your configured trigger occurs, along with the GCLID and timestamps.

If you are using enhanced conversions or additional identifiers, GoHighLevel follows Google’s guidelines for matching these events to the original click.

Best Practices for Offline Conversions in GoHighLevel

To get reliable optimization data from Google Ads, apply these best practices when working with offline conversions in GoHighLevel:

• Align naming conventions between GoHighLevel and Google Ads to avoid confusion.
• Limit the number of conversion actions to those that truly matter (e.g., qualified lead, opportunity won).
• Test thoroughly by creating test contacts, moving them through your pipeline, and confirming conversions appear in Google Ads.
• Use dynamic values for revenue-based conversions whenever possible.
• Monitor time lags, since offline conversions may appear with a delay compared to online events.

Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Offline Conversions

If conversions are not showing correctly in Google Ads, work through this checklist:

• Confirm that the Google Ads account is still connected inside GoHighLevel.
• Verify that GCLIDs or enhanced conversion identifiers are being captured and stored on each lead.
• Check that the correct triggers and pipelines are mapped to your conversion actions.
• Make sure the conversion is set to Primary (or desired status) for the correct bidding strategies in Google Ads.
• Review Google Ads conversion settings for attribution windows and counting rules.

If problems persist, compare your setup with the official guide on the GoHighLevel help center and verify that no required field or permission is missing.
