## **What is Google Ads Integration**

Google Ads Integration links your Google Ads account with your GHL Customer Care sub-account so leads submitted through Google Lead Forms become contacts in real time. The secure, OAuth-based connection also exposes form metadata to workflows, letting you trigger automations the moment a prospect hits “Submit.”

The Google Ads integration allows you to collect leads directly from Google Ads and have them automatically synced with your CRM. With this integration, you can easily capture contact information from potential customers interested in your products or services on Google and quickly follow up with them through your CRM. By automating the lead capture process, you can save time and improve the efficiency of your sales and marketing efforts.
