Google Ads introduced new form tracking in Tag Manager that enables codeless event creation for lead form submissions.

Advertisers can now set up conversion tracking via a user-friendly interface, eliminating complex manual coding.

Key features:

  • Codeless event detection.
  • Flexible form submission tracking.
  • Multiple URL matching options.

Why we care. This update dramatically reduces the technical complexity of setting up conversion tracking. By offering a wizard-style interface with codeless event detection, Google Ads eliminates hours of manual coding, making form tracking faster and more accessible for marketers with limited technical skills.

First seen. This update was first seen by advertising professional Dennis Quaid when he posted the new update on X (formerly Twitter):
