    Google Ads displays your **Conversion ID** and **Conversion Label**.

    * **Conversion ID** — starts with `AW-` followed by 9–10 digits (e.g., `AW-123456789`)
    * **Conversion Label** — 11-character alphanumeric string (e.g., `ABc1d2EFG3h`)

    Back in the Upstack dashboard:

    * In the **Conversion ID** field, paste your full Conversion ID from Google Ads (e.g., `AW-123456789`). The `AW-` prefix is required.
    * In the **Conversion Label** field, paste your Conversion Label from Google Ads (e.g., `ABc1d2EFG3h`).

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify the Setup

To confirm the destination is working:

* In the Upstack dashboard, the Google Ads destination should show **Healthy** status under **Events Destination**.
* Place a test order on your store and check Google Ads **Goals → Conversions → Summary** within 24–48 hours to confirm the conversion is recorded.

If the destination shows **Unhealthy** or no conversions arrive, double-check that:

* The **Conversion ID** starts with `AW-` and matches the value shown in Google Ads.
* The **Conversion Label** was copied without leading or trailing spaces.
* The conversion action in Google Ads is enabled and not paused.

If issues persist, contact Upstack Data support with your **Conversion ID** and **Conversion Label**.
