Google Ads lead form extensions not synced to CRM
Google Ads campaigns using lead form extensions capture leads directly inside Google's platform. Those leads sit in Google Ads Manager as a downloadable CSV. The standard workflow for most Australian businesses: someone downloads the CSV every few days, pastes the contacts into HubSpot or a spreadsheet, and assigns them to a sales rep manually. By the time this happens, the lead may be three to five days old. A prospect who submitted a lead form on a Monday morning, received no response, and found a competitor by Tuesday is not recoverable on Thursday. Google Ads does support native CRM integrations through HubSpot's paid ads integration and webhook connections via Zapier or Make. Most Australian businesses running Google Ads have not configured either.
