Server Side Connect — from form to sale, visible in Google Ads

Leads from your website land in your CRM or email tool with their source attached. When a lead becomes a customer, Google Ads hears about it too, with the value of the deal. That way Google learns from your sales instead of from form fills. All through your own tracking server, without a single line of code.

EXAMPLE · A QUOTE REQUEST
Visit via an ad
Someone clicks your Google ad and fills in your form. Your server sends the lead to HubSpot, with source, campaign and the ad click.
Two weeks later
Your salesperson sets the deal to Won, worth €4,500.
Within fifteen minutes
Google Ads receives the sale as a conversion, with its value, tied to that one ad click.

What does Server Side Connect do?

Your website, your CRM and Google Ads each know part of the story. Server Side Connect links them through the tracking server of your own setup, so every system gets what it needs.

Website → CRM

Leads with their source

A submitted form arrives as a contact in your CRM or email tool, with first and last source, campaign and the ad click. No separate form integration needed.

CRM → Google Ads

Sales back to Google

Choose the stages that count, such as Quote sent or Won. When a deal reaches one of them, it goes to Google Ads as a conversion, with the deal amount.

Lists → audiences

Audiences from your CRM

Turn a list in your CRM into an audience in Google Ads (Customer Match). We update it every night: whoever joins the list is added, whoever leaves is removed.

Works with your own tools

You log in to your tool once. We take care of the rest. Several tools on one site works too, for example your CRM and your email tool.

HubSpot

Leads as contacts, won deals to Google Ads, lists as audiences.

Mailchimp

Leads as contacts in your audience, without a newsletter signup. Lists as audiences.

Pipedrive (on request)

Leads as a person, won deals to Google Ads, filters as audiences.

Zoho CRM (on request)

Leads as Leads, won deals to Google Ads, custom views as audiences. Also on Zoho Free.

monday.com (on request)

Leads on the board you choose, won deals to Google Ads, groups as audiences.

Brevo (coming soon)

The integration is built and waiting for approval by Brevo.

Custom Connector

A different system? Your developer sends sales to a single address with a key; we pass them on to Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads.

Next to Conversion Replay, not instead of it

Conversion Replay (included in your plan) sends what your website measures straight to Google: the purchase or the form. Server Side Connect sends what happens after that: the quote, the won deal. Together, Google Ads sees the whole journey.

  1. Connect your tool

    Log in to HubSpot or Mailchimp and grant access. In your tool we create a group of fields called Server Side Connect; we never delete anything.

  2. Choose what counts as a lead

    For each website you pick the event of your form, usually generate_lead. We place the lead tag in your server container and publish it.

  3. Choose the stages and lists

    Tick which deal stages become a conversion and which lists become an audience. We create them in Google Ads, with the name you choose.

  4. Done

    A test lead shows right away whether it works. In the dashboard you see per stage how many sales went to Google.

Privacy: by the book

Contact details belong in your CRM, not with us. This is how we keep it that way.

We don't store email addresses

Contact details go straight to your tool. For Google, email addresses are encrypted (hashed) before they leave our server.

Ad click only with consent

A gclid or fbc is only passed on if the visitor gave consent for advertising in your cookie banner.

We delete nothing in your tool

We write contacts and fields, not lists or deals, and we never erase anything.

Leads expire after a year

Our record of a lead (without contact details) disappears automatically after 365 days. More in Privacy for Server Side Connect.

Honest about what it doesn't do

Only sales with an ad click. A deal from a lead that didn't come through an ad, or without consent for advertising, is not sent to Google. In the dashboard you see how many deals were skipped this way.

No deal creation. We create contacts, not deals. If you want a deal for every lead automatically, set that up with a workflow in your CRM.

No guarantee of more conversions. We pass the sale on. Whether Google Ads ties it to a click is up to Google.

Add-on for Business and Agency, €25 per site per month, incl. VAT. A site counts as soon as a lead tag is on it; how many tools you connect doesn't matter. Not available for CMP-only. You activate it in the dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what marketers ask us most.

What does it cost?

€25 per site per month, including VAT, on top of your plan. A site counts as soon as a lead tag is on it. HubSpot and Mailchimp on the same site together are also €25. If you only use the Custom Connector, you pay for one site.

Do I need to code anything?

No. You log in to your tool, pick the event of your form and the stages that count. We place and publish the lead tag. Only the Custom Connector is for your developer.

Will a purchase be counted twice in Google Ads?

No. Server Side Connect creates its own conversions named after your deal stage. Just don't pick a stage that is the same as the purchase your website already measures.

How fast does a sale show up in Google Ads?

We check for changed deals about every fifteen minutes. Google processes the conversion after that; in Google Ads it usually shows up within a few hours.

What Google Ads details do you need?

Your customer ID. We send an invitation from our manager account and you accept it in Google Ads.

What happens if I stop?

The lead tag is removed and we no longer update your conversions and audiences in Google Ads. What is in your CRM and in Google Ads stays yours and stays in place.
