Automatic AdWords Website Phone Conversion Script
<script type="text/javascript">
// In contrary to the original AdWords Phone Conversion Tracking Script this version doesn't require changes on the website. It even can implemented using Google Tag Manager.
// The original AdWords script requires an additional <span> element with an id that encloses the phone number.
// This new script doens't require that span element anymore. It autoaticall searches through the entire document and changes all phone numbers that match. Also it searches through all href sources and changes the phone number there too (for clickable phone numbers).
// In this version of the script there is one requirement though. The phone number on the website has to bee written in the exact same format, with spaces, etc. Only then the script will find and exchange the numbers.
// AdWords phone conversion ID. Since this is a number no quotation marks are necessary.
var gak = CONVERSION_ID; // eg. 12345678912
// AdWords conversion label
var gcl = 'CONVERSION_LABEL'; // eg. X-AB-12A-ASDFFA
// The original phone number unformatted. It has to match exactly the phone number as it appears in the visible text of the website.
var original_phone_number_formatted = 'PHONE_NUMBER_FORMATTED'; // eg. +1 22 33 44 55 66 77
// The original phone number unformatted. It has to match exactly the phone number as it appears in the href attribute.
var original_phone_number_unformatted = 'PHONE_NUMBER_UNFORMATTED'; // eg. +1223344556677
// An array of all text nodes within the website.
var textNodes = [];
// A node list of all href nodes within the website that match the unformatted phone number.
