I have a Wordpress page and I need to track all clicks as Google Ads conversion so I've found that I can use the entire page as a link with the following code:

<html>     <body onclick='window.location.href="http://google.com"'>     </body> </html>

Then I need to activate the Google conversion tag at every click and the conversion script are:

<!-- Event snippet for Solicitar cotação conversion page In your html page, add the snippet and call gtag_report_conversion when someone clicks on the chosen link or button. --> <script>function gtag_report_conversion(url) {   var callback = function () {     if (typeof(url) != 'undefined') {       window.location = url;     }   };   gtag('event', 'conversion', {       'send_to': 'AW-ID/AWID',       'event_callback': callback   });   return false; }</script>

Ok, so please, how can I make every click count as a conversion?

Thank you very much.

My code is working fine on Dev server but throws Error on Staging server, am I missing anything on Staging?

Error: Fatal Error (1): Failed to parse binary descriptor in [../app/Vendor/googleads/google-ads-php/metadata/Google/Ads/GoogleAds/V8/Services/ConversionUploadService.php, line 124]

Thanks in advance.

I have followed this guide Quick start but it did not work. I am using google-ads-api PHP library can be found here. I did follow it generated Refresh token. Client ID and Secret Id of my cloud project which which is of type WEB, Published and has access to google ads api.

My developer token is approved. after following all this I made call to google-ads-api and it said bad request after that it returned user authentication failed, request failed. After that

I followed this guide to generate access token and placed it in my ini. It still shows the bad request failed and the message Details: Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.

I am using google-ads-api module in nodejs to connect with Google Ads API.

I am using this code block to get Customer

const customer = client.Customer({     customer_id: 'XXX-XXX-XXXX',     refresh_token: refreshToken, })

I have used XXX-XXX-XXXX, XXXXXXXXXX, XXXX-XXX-XXX format for customer_id but still it is returning this error

GoogleAdsFailure {   errors: [     GoogleAdsError {       error_code: [ErrorCode],       message: "Invalid customer ID ''."     }   ],   request_id: 'OcUdfalh_N0U4hTJUd6c6g' }
