Google Ads conversion tracking for Pipedrive
Published July 2026. Last updated July 2026.
If you run Google Ads and use Pipedrive, but haven't connected the two, there is a strong chance that your Google Ads are less profitable than they should be.
Here's the problem. Someone clicks your ad, fills out a form, or calls. That's the last thing Google sees. They don't know:
- If that person became a $10 000 deal.
- It was a good lead that went nowhere.
- If it was spam, a wrong number or someone out of your area.
Pipedrive knows, but Google doesn't.
This is the offline conversion gap. Because of it Google thinks every lead is a good lead.
It's one of the most common reasons Google Ads underperforms even when the ads themselves are good.
Litiro closes the offline conversion gap. It connects Pipedrive to Google Ads so that deal activity gets sent to Google Ads as an offline conversion.
- A lead becoming a deal.
- A deal progressing through stages in a pipeline.
- A deal closing.
This happens automatically, without spreadsheets or file uploads.
In practice this means:
- You'll find out which campaigns, ads, keywords and so on bring you the best results: the most qualified leads, the highest value leads.
- The opposite is also true. You'll find out which parts of your Google Ads are a waste of money. Either producing low quality leads that don't turn into sales, or where you're paying more than you should for a lead.
Once you know this, you can cut what's not working and shift your ad budget to where it gives the best return.
And once Google learns what a good lead looks like it can optimise to find more good leads.
What it doesn't do
Tracking Pipedrive deal stages as offline conversions won't fix fundamental problems like poor campaign setup, weak landing pages or a broken sales process. But it will make these problems visible, so you can address them.
Getting started
If you're running Google Ads with Pipedrive as your CRM but they're not connected, it is very likely that this is costing you money right now.
We can fix that today. Setup takes about 30 minutes if the required parts are already in place.
