4-step checklist

Everything you need to launch tracking

Work through the steps in sequence. Each one builds on the previous so reporting stays accurate and PPC context stays connected.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Name your campaign

    Create the campaign container that keeps related landing pages together.

    Create a campaign or group for the landing pages you plan to monitor. Give it a descriptive name that reflects the initiative it supports.

    We recommend matching the name used in Google Ads to avoid confusion. Need multiple initiatives? Use the add campaign flow on the campaigns page.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Choose the pages you want to monitor

    Add the landing-page URLs that should receive tracking and fraud context.

    Add the URLs for every landing page that belongs in the campaign. Track a single page or manage a collection while ClickReport keeps everything organized under the campaign you created.

    As soon as a page is added, it becomes eligible for monitoring, reporting, and fraud detection in real time.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Install the tracking code

    Paste the ClickReport snippet onto each landing page before launch.

    Install the ClickReport tracking script on every landing page you monitor. This lightweight script powers analytics and automated protections.

    Find the snippet

    Sign in, open Campaigns, select a landing page, and copy its tracking snippet from the tracking panel. Keep the absolute script URL, site token, and landing page ID exactly as shown in the dashboard.

    Place it safely

    Paste the script just before the closing </body> tag so it stays isolated from other page components.

    The snippet should use an absolute ClickReport host and include data-page-id. Do not shorten the source to a relative /track.js path.
    Install the snippet on every landing page you send paid traffic to so attribution and protection stay accurate.

    Step 4

    Apply campaign tags in Google Ads

    Add a ClickReport tag so visits can be tied back to campaign context.

    Use Google Ads tracking settings to append your ClickReport tag without editing every ad URL manually. The recommended approach is tracking template plus final URL suffix.

    1. Log in to your Google Ads account.
    2. Open tracking settings at the account, campaign, ad group, or ad level.
    3. Set the tracking template to {lpurl} and final URL suffix to crtag=google1.

    Tag rule: use up to 12 characters with A-Z, 0-9, hyphen, or underscore. Avoid spaces and other symbols.

    Quick fallback: append ?crtag=google1 to a test ad URL, or &crtag=google1 when the URL already has query parameters.
Live monitoring
