This is great!! Thank you so much! Do you have any videos on how to track website form submissions (Squarespace) that originate from google ads?

[@ruxandraneatu2982]

Great video! I was wondering, how can I link a QR code to Google Analytics? I've seen many Google Analytics tutorials, but none that explain this specific connection. Is there one that covers this? Thank you!

Never thought to have UTMs in a QR code link before. That's really good.
What about where the URL must be a 3rd party link that you can't influence? (ie you can't give them a UTM-tagged link or they may not be using GA)
How might we still track performance of the QR code on our side?

[@LovesData]

Just to flag, you wouldn’t want to track a link to a third-party website into the GA property used to track your own website.
However, you could achieve this with a seperate property and the measurement protocol. It would be completely custom.
So my recommendation would be to use the analytics available with your QR code generator instead.

Hi sir, i am working on a website that contains a form. I want to track the form fill for both organic and ppc users because that form is set up as a conversion in google ads and also users fill that form organically. I am confused how to set up two different conditions for organic and ppc form fill in gtm. Please pick my question
