What’s your current system for keeping track of Google Ads conversions when platform data doesn’t match actual sales?
I’m trying to get better at how I track what’s going on with my Google Ads campaigns day to day, but it’s starting to feel a bit all over the place.
Right now, I’m checking different platforms for different things, one for ad performance, another for sales, and others for attribution or reporting. It works, but it’s not very efficient, and I sometimes feel like I’m missing the bigger picture when I’m trying to make decisions.
I’ve used Google Ads + GA4 for a while, which is helpful, but it also takes time to maintain consistently and I still end up with mismatched numbers. I also briefly tried wetracked to see if having things in one place would make it easier to understand what was actually happening, but I’m still undecided on what system makes the most sense long term.
For those managing Google Ads, what are you currently using to stay organized and actually trust the numbers you’re looking at?
