Use Tag Manager to deploy Google Ads conversion tags
Creating a Google Ads Tag & Conversion Linker in Google Tag Manager
Google Ads conversion tags help to build reports that showyou what happens after a customer clicks on your ads – whether they purchased a product, signed up for your newsletter, called your business, or downloaded your app. When a customer completes an action that you've defined as valuable, these customer actions are called conversions.
Before you get started with this tag, we recommend that you learn more about how this feature works in the Google Adshelp center.
To set up Google Ads conversion measurement, you will need to enter the required Google Ads Conversion ID and Conversion Label, and an optional Conversion Value, Transaction ID, and/or Currency Code.
To avoid duplicate conversions in your reports, add aTransaction ID from your app or website as the value for a data layer variable in Tag Manager.

You may optionally add a Conversion Value, Transaction ID*, and Currency Code. Be sure to use Tag Manager variables for these field values whenever applicable. (For example, most cases will use a variable for Transaction ID.)
* Note: For Transaction ID, you will need to set up your app or website to generate a TransactionID, add that value to the data layer, and create a Tag Manager variable to retrieve the Transaction ID value.
- Choose one or more triggers in the Triggering section to specify when the tag should fire.
