    Sending organic traffic to my paid funnel… will it mess up conversion tracking?

    Posted by GSG96 on December 14, 2025 at 11:35 pm

    Let's say google tag, and meta pixel are on the thank you page. I want to add the landing page to my Instagram bio. I don't want to re create the entire funnel. All traffic goes to the thank you page.

    So lead comes in organic Instagram > landing page > funnel > thank you page

    If there's a google tag manager on the thank you page, will it attribute a false conversion back to google ?

    Use a UTM, that should break out the corresponding traffic in GA4

    No,​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ it is not going to attribute false conversions to Google Ads. Google Tag Manager or pixels on the thank you page that fire are dependent on the traffic source. For example, organic Instagram traffic will show as organic in GA4/Meta and not as paid Google. So, your attribution will remain clean as long as UTM parameters are not impersonating paid campaigns. Just testing a few organic flows will give you a confirmation.

    No but it would be best to use UTMs in order to get a better perspective on traffic and in extent conversions

    Have fun
