Why this stack

ClickPatrol’s Google redirect goes through trck-001.clckptrl.com with source=g. Replace [[CLICKPATROL_ID]] before going live.

Other networks use URL parameters instead of this redirect — see ClickPatrol for Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Pinterest.

Common pitfalls

  • Leaving [[CLICKPATROL_ID]] unreplaced breaks the click path.
  • If you also need UTMs / Hyros / Northbeam, put those in Final URL suffix — see the combo recipes.

See the Google Ads parameter guide.

FAQ

Where do I paste the ClickPatrol → Google Ads template?

Paste into the Tracking template field in Google Ads account (or campaign) settings.

Will this break my landing page URL?

Templates that start with {lpurl} or include u={lpurl} / url={lpurl} preserve your final URL. On Meta/TikTok/LinkedIn, you append macros to the destination URL directly. Always click-test after saving.

Where are the Google Ads macros documented?
