Lead Intent Scores and Lead Journey Mapping arrive in Google Ads
Two new lead-management tools are now available alongside Leads in Google Ads.

What changed
Lead Intent Scores is a new scoring system in Lead Manager that categorises every submission as Hot, Warm, or Cold using Google's signals to predict the likelihood of conversion: automatically filtering out spam and low-intent leads. Pilot in the US and Canada in English.
Lead Journey Mapping illuminates the path from click to close with a unified visual map of the entire sales journey, pinpointing friction and drop-off points across the sales funnel. Pilot globally across all languages.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means lead-gen teams running Google Ads as the primary lead source can now visualise the full lead journey and prioritise outreach by predicted conversion likelihood. Particularly relevant for high-volume lead-gen accounts where manual lead-prioritisation has been the bottleneck. Availability: Pilot, US/CA + Global, English/All.
