What’s the most IMPORTANT number to track? Google Ads KPI metrics

(For LEAD generation campaigns)

🤔 How do you know if your ads are working?

Impressions? 

Clicks?

They matter — but can be misleading as KPIs.

Leads?

Closer… but still NOT the number.

So what should you actually track?

👉 QUALIFIED LEADS.

Why?

Just like you wouldn’t buy a drill to “make a hole.”

You don’t run ads to “get leads.”

🎯 Buying a drill is a necessity for achieving a RESULT.

For example:

Hang a painting (result) -> Make a hole -> Buy a drill

For ads:
Close CLIENTS -> Get leads -> Run ads

“But why did you say ‘Qualified Leads’ instead of ‘Clients’?” – you might ask.

Because closing clients depends on more than your ads.

It depends on your SALES PROCESS — how well you convert qualified leads.

To assess your ads’ performance, you want to take a step back.

Focus on the one result your ads can fully control:

✅ Qualified Leads.

Everything after that? That’s your sales team’s job.

Should you do Google Ads yourself?

You’re getting leads – but NO ONE’s buying.
