Google Ads Lead Form Extensions is an advertising feature within Google Ads that enables businesses to capture lead information directly from Search, Display, Performance Max, and Video campaigns without requiring users to visit a landing page.
Key Components
- Lead Form Asset: A customizable form attached to your Google Ads campaign that collects user information
- Pre-filled Fields: Google can auto-populate user details (name, email, phone) for faster form completion
- CRM Webhook Integration: Direct data transfer to your customer relationship management system via webhook or API
- CSV Export: Manual download of leads from the Google Ads interface (available for 30 days)
- Privacy Policy Link: A required link to your business's privacy policy displayed at form submission
How It Works
- Create and Attach: You build a lead form in Google Ads and attach it to eligible campaigns (Search, Display, Performance Max, or Video).
- User Interaction: When a potential buyer sees your ad on Google Search, YouTube, or the Display Network, they tap to open the lead form directly in the ad.
- Auto-fill Submission: Google pre-populates the form with the user's account information. The user reviews and submits their details.
- Lead Delivery: You receive leads via CSV export, webhook integration, or Google Ads API sync to your CRM system.
