Google Lead Forms
Google Lead Forms capture lead information through Google Ads. HighLevel's Google Ads integration can sync submissions from enabled and mapped lead forms into the CRM as contacts, where workflows can automate follow-up.

Learn how to connect Google Ads, map and enable lead forms, automate new submissions, and test the integration.

1

What Are Google Lead Forms?

Google Lead Forms are lead capture forms associated with Google Ads. When a Google Ads account is connected to HighLevel, submissions from enabled and properly mapped lead forms can create contacts in the CRM.

Important: Google Lead Forms are different from Google Forms. Google Forms uses a separate HighLevel integration.
