The first step in building effective communication with clients who come to you through a Google Lead Form is to form their base. If you're going to transfer lead contact information manually, keep in mind that you'll have to spend extra time doing it. Are you thinking of solving a problem by entrusting this task to the managers? They will, of course, cope, but this will interfere with their ability to carry out their current duties. The second serious drawback of this method of unloading leads is error. Haste and absent-mindedness may result in missing leads or incorrectly copying their personal data.

Manual data transfer also requires regular monitoring of new potential buyers or customers, which also entails time consumption and the involvement of human resources. You can automate this process using Google Ads integration with Google Sheets. After its launch, all new leads will be instantly transferred to your database table without any action on your part. Can't wait to try it yet? No problem! Our ApiX-Drive connector will help you implement the connection between these systems.
