{% hint style="warning" %}
**Don't use MCC ID**

Select the individual Google Ads account ID. Don't select an MCC ID, or conversion data will be misrouted.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable Enhanced Conversions for Leads**

In Google Ads, enable **Enhanced Conversions for Leads** and accept the terms shown in the install flow.

After you finish this step in Google Ads, return to Littledata. Littledata will detect the change automatically and move you forward.

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to enable Enhanced Conversions for Leads during setup. For more detail, see [how the Google Ads connection works](/integrations/google-ads/google-ads-how-it-works.md).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Set Purchase - Littledata as your primary conversion**

After the connection finishes, **Purchase – Littledata** will appear as a new conversion in Google Ads.

Set it as your **Primary** action. Then switch your other purchase conversions to **Secondary (observe only)**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Primary actions are used for bidding and optimization. Secondary actions are tracked for reporting only.
{% endhint %}

1. In Google Ads, go to **Tools & settings → Conversions**.
2. Open **Purchase – Littledata** and click **Edit Goal**.
3. Set **Purchase – Littledata** to **Primary action**.
4. Set your other purchase conversions to **Secondary action (observe only)**.
5. Click **Save changes**.
