Google Ads

Atomicat includes a Google Ads optimizer that configures your pages to meet Google's ad policy requirements and ensures proper tracking for Google ad campaigns.

Enabling Google Ads Optimization​

  1. Open the page in the Builder.

  2. Click Page Settings (⚙️) → Optimizer tab.

  3. Enable Optimize this page for Google Ads.

  4. Fill in the required fields in the SEO tab (if prompted):

    • Page Title
    • Author
    • Meta Description

  5. Click Save.

What the Google Ads Optimizer Does​

When enabled, Atomicat automatically:

ActionPurpose
Removes Open Graph tagsGoogle Ads doesn't require OG tags and they can cause issues
Enforces search engine visibilityGoogle requires ad destination pages to be indexable
Sets proper meta tagsEnsures title, description, and author are present
Validates page structureConfirms the page meets Google Ads policy requirements

Requirements​

Before enabling Google Ads optimization, your page must have:

  • ✅ A Page Title (SEO tab)
  • ✅ An Author name (SEO tab)
  • ✅ A Meta Description (SEO tab)
  • ✅ Search engine visibility ON (page must NOT be hidden from search)
Cannot combine with Meta Ads

Meta Ads and Google Ads optimizations are mutually exclusive — they have conflicting requirements. Enable only one per page.

Adding Google Ads Conversion Tracking​

For Google Ads conversion tracking (Google Tag), add it via the code slots:

  1. Page Settings → Codes tab.
  2. Paste your Google Ads conversion tag in Head (bottom).
  3. Paste the conversion event snippet in Body (top).
<!-- Example Google Ads conversion tracking (add to Head bottom) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-XXXXXXXXX"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'AW-XXXXXXXXX');
</script>

Ad Destination URL Best Practices​

When using a page as a Google Ads destination:

  • ✅ Enable "This page is the destination URL for an active ad campaign" in the Optimizer tab
  • ✅ Ensure your page clearly relates to the ad copy
  • ✅ Page must load in under 3 seconds (check Page Speed tab)
  • ✅ Domain must match or relate to the display URL in the ad
  • ✅ Privacy Policy and Terms pages must be linked (configure in Features tab)
