Setting Up Conversion Tracking

Conversions are the actions that matter most to your business. Here is how to track them effectively.

Form Submissions

Track when visitors complete contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, or application forms.

// GA4 tracks form submissions automatically when enhanced measurement is enabled
// Or create a custom event:
gtag("event", "form_submit", {
  form_name: "contact_form",
  form_destination: "sales@company.com"
});

Button Clicks

Monitor clicks on important buttons like "Buy Now," "Get Started," or "Download."

// Track button clicks
gtag("event", "click", {
  event_category: "CTA",
  event_label: "Get Started Button",
  value: 1
});

Page Views

Track visits to important pages like thank you pages, pricing pages, or checkout completion.

// GA4 tracks page views automatically
// Mark specific pages as conversions in GA4 Admin:
// Configure > Events > Mark as conversion
// Create event: page_location contains "thank-you"

Scroll Depth

Understand how far visitors scroll down your pages to gauge content engagement.

// GA4 Enhanced Measurement includes scroll tracking
// Fires when users reach 90% of page depth
// Enable in: Admin > Data Streams > Enhanced Measurement
