Google Ads Conversion Tracking Troubleshooter

A short, operator-style diagnostic. Answer four questions, then follow the next step that matches your exact failure mode.

If you just need a fast signal, run the Tracking Health Check. If you want the baseline fixed fast, book the Tracking Fix Sprint.

Tool input

Get your fix path

How is the conversion tracked right now?
Can you see the conversion fire in Tag Assistant or GTM Preview?
Does it fire on the true conversion moment (not just a page view)?
Does Google Ads show the conversion as Verified/Active?

What it checks

  • Which conversion source you’re actually using.
  • Whether the tag fires in Tag Assistant or GTM Preview.
  • Whether the trigger fires on the true conversion moment.
  • Whether Ads diagnostics show the conversion as verified.

Limitations

  • This tool does not access your Ads or GA4 accounts.
  • You still need Tag Assistant or GTM Preview to verify firing.
  • It’s a decision tree, not a replacement for full audits.

Example output (demo)

Example for a GA4 import where the tag fires, but Ads diagnostics are still unverified.
