Copy the script below and add it to your website’s files. Change YOUR_CONVERSION_ID and YOUR_CONVERSION_LABEL with the values that you copied and saved before. Publish these changes on your website.

<script>
var LC_API = LC_API || {};
LC_API.on_chat_started = function()
{
// track this chat in Google AdWords
var google_conversion_id, google_conversion_label, img;
google_conversion_id    = 'YOUR_CONVERSION_ID';
google_conversion_label = 'YOUR_CONVERSION_LABEL';
img = new Image(1, 1);
img.src = 'https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/'+google_conversion_id+'/?label='+google_conversion_label+'&script=0';
};
</script>

Done! After you’ve added the script to your website, the chat conversion from ad clicks will start appearing in your Ads conversion reports.

Track several conversions at the same timeLink icon

You can track several conversions at a time using the script provided above. To do so, add a separate script with different pairs of google_conversion_id and google_conversion_label variables for each conversion you want to track.

The google_conversion_id stays the same, google_conversion_label varies for different conversions.
The google_conversion_id stays the same, google_conversion_label varies for different conversions.

Google Tag Assistant errorsLink icon

When using Google Tag Assistant, you might come across some syntax errors like Conversion label not set or No HTTP response detected. Don’t worry about them, as the integration will successfully track your Ads campaign and integrate it with LiveChat.

When validating your AdWord campaign, Google Tag Assistant is looking for active conversion codes, including the version without JavaScript (noscript). As our conversion tracking code does not have such a version, Google Tag Assistant may display errors.
