Pabau + Google Ads Conversion Tracking: Complete Setup Guide
Most clinics running Google Ads are optimizing blind. A patient clicks your ad, books through Pabau, pays their invoice — and Google Ads logs zero conversions. ConversionLoop closes that loop by capturing the GCLID on page load, then uploading the conversion the moment Pabau fires its webhook.
Why Pabau users lose conversions in Google Ads
When someone clicks your Google ad, Google assigns a GCLID to the URL. Pabau knows nothing about that click. When the patient pays their invoice, Pabau fires a webhook — but that webhook has no GCLID. Google sees the click, never sees the conversion, and reduces budget on campaigns that are actually driving revenue.
ConversionLoop vs. manual CSV upload
Why the manual process breaks — and what changes when you automate it
How the Pabau to Google Ads connection works
ConversionLoop sits between your ad click and your Pabau invoice — capturing the click identifier up front, then uploading the conversion the moment Pabau fires.
Patient clicks your Google ad — cl.js captures and stores their GCLID against their email.
Patient books through your Pabau booking flow.
Pabau fires a webhook to your ConversionLoop endpoint when the invoice is paid.
ConversionLoop looks up the GCLID for that email and uploads the conversion to Google Ads with the invoice value.
Google Ads registers the conversion and updates Smart Bidding in real time.
