Conversion tracking for promotional products, measured in gross margin

Promo buyers are HR teams building onboarding kits, marketing managers ordering trade show giveaways and office managers planning holiday gifts. They search a product and a logo, browse a catalog website that may run on a supplier-database product such as ESP Websites or SAGE, request a quote, then reply by email with artwork and changes. If the catalog's quote form does not fire your own conversion with a click ID, Google Ads never sees the request; if it fires for every request, a student wanting one hoodie counts the same as a company buying for a conference. The order is placed after a virtual proof, often by a different person at the same company.

Bidding then optimizes toward whoever fills in quote forms most cheaply, which is consumers and one-piece requests that a distributor cannot fill at a sensible minimum. A ten-minute check: pull the last twenty quote requests from the catalog and mark each one business or consumer, with or without a quantity and date. Then open the last five first-time orders in your order system and see whether any of them says where the customer came from.

Fixed means the quote form fires a server-side conversion with the click ID, consumer and one-piece requests are filtered out before they count, and the first invoiced order is matched back to its quote by email and sent to Google Ads. The free thirty-minute audit starts with those twenty requests.
