Frequently Asked Questions about Google Ads + Marketo integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Ads and Marketo

How do I set up the Google Ads and Marketo integration?

To set up the Google Ads and Marketo integration, you need to access our platform and navigate to the integrations section. Here, select Google Ads and follow the prompts to connect your account. Once connected, you can choose triggers such as new leads or campaign updates in Marketo that synchronize with actions like updating audiences or campaigns in Google Ads.

Can we automatically add new Marketo leads to a Google Ads audience?

Yes, by using our platform, you can create an automation where a new lead in Marketo acts as a trigger to add that contact to a designated audience in Google Ads. You’ll need to configure this through our integration setup, specifying the lead creation event as your trigger and audience selection as your action.

What kind of data can be synced between Google Ads and Marketo?

Our system allows syncing of various data points between Google Ads and Marketo. Typically, user interaction data such as ad clicks or form submissions can trigger updates in lead status or initiate email campaigns within Marketo.

Is it possible to use specific actions in Google Ads based on triggers from Marketo?

Absolutely. You can specify triggers like a change in lead score or status within Marketo that will trigger actions within Google Ads. This could include adjusting bids for certain keywords or altering targeting settings based on real-time lead data.

Do I need coding skills to integrate Google Ads with Marketo using your platform?

No coding skills are required. Our interface is designed for ease of use with a drag-and-drop setup process. You’ll simply select your desired triggers from Marketo and corresponding actions in Google Ads without any programming knowledge needed.

How do we handle potential data mismatches during integration?

We have built-in validation processes that ensure data integrity between systems during synchronization. If mismatches occur, alerts are generated so adjustments can be made manually through our dashboard.

Can actions in both systems occur simultaneously when integrating?

Yes, actions across both systems can occur simultaneously when specific multi-step automations are configured using our platform. For example, when a form is submitted via a Google Ad click (trigger), it could update lead info in both databases at once (action).

Practical ways you can use Google Ads and Marketo

Sync leads from Google Ads to Marketo.

Save time manually importing lead data. Whenever a new lead form is submitted from a Google Ads campaign, Zapier creates or updates a lead in Marketo. This ensures prompt follow-ups and consistent record-keeping, improving lead conversion rates.

Marketing & Marketing Ops
Track Google Ads campaigns.

When new campaigns are created in Google Ads, Zapier logs them in your Marketo workflow. This ensures that project managers have visibility into new advertising efforts, aligning teams and deadlines effectively.

Project Management
Log offline conversions from Marketo in Google Ads.

Don't let offline activity go unrecorded. When a lead is updated in Marketo reflecting an offline conversion, Zapier sends this data to Google Ads. This helps measure marketing ROI while improving campaign optimization based on offline results.

Sales Ops

Supported triggers and actions
