Google Ads Lead Forms Extensions lets you capture lead data directly from the contact forms placed in your ads. This helps maximize the number of leads that are generated from search ads and collect customer information, such as means of contact.
Getting started
CallRail’s integration lets you see your form submissions from these extensions within CallRail, where they can be tracked as they would from any other form source. This works by inserting a company-specific webhook and API key generated within CallRail into the your lead extension setup.
For more information on how to set up Lead Form Extensions within Google Ads, see Google's documentation.
