What's inside

  • The attribution problem: why every platform takes full credit
  • Attribution models and what each one tells you
  • Setting up conversion tracking, step by step
  • The GA4 setup every business needs
  • Multi-touch attribution
  • A monthly attribution audit

Who it's for

Teams running ads on more than one platform whose dashboards add up to more sales than the business actually made.

Three takeaways

Every platform claims the sale

A customer who clicks a Google ad, sees a Meta ad and then buys is counted by both. Reconcile platform numbers against your own sales data before moving budget.

Know which model Google Ads is using

Google Ads now offers data-driven and last click attribution. The model changes how Smart Bidding values each campaign, so check which one your conversions use.

Send outcomes back from your CRM

For lead generation, importing which leads became customers lets the platforms optimize toward revenue instead of form fills.

Unclear attribution is the #1 reason brands misread their ad performance. This guide explains GA4, conversion tracking, CRM integration, and multi-touch models in plain language.

FAQ

Common questions

Each platform counts every conversion it touched, so a sale influenced by both is counted twice. Compare platform totals with your own sales or CRM records to see the real number.
