Conversion Tracking Setup That Makes Every Ad Dollar Accountable
You can't optimize what you can't measure. Broken tracking is the #1 reason ad accounts underperform — smart bidding algorithms starved of the data they need to improve.

The Process Behind Consistent Results
Tracking Audit
Audit every existing pixel, tag, and conversion action. Document what fires, what doesn't, and what fires wrong. This is where most wasted ad spend lives.
Attribution Architecture Design
Design the measurement framework: which events count as conversions, what attribution windows are appropriate, and how cross-channel data will reconcile.
GTM Container Build
Build or restructure Google Tag Manager with all required tags, triggers, and variables — organized and documented for maintainability.
Pixel & API Deployment
Install and configure GA4, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag with server-side APIs where applicable.
QA, Test & Document
Validate every event fires correctly with real-world test conversions. Deliver a full tracking documentation sheet for your team.

Questions About Conversion Tracking Setup?
Signs include: Smart Bidding performing poorly despite good traffic, conversion numbers that seem too low or too high, conversions not matching your CRM data, or Google Ads showing 0 conversions. I do a free tracking audit on any account.
GA4 measures sessions, events, and user behavior. Google Ads conversion tracking measures specific actions that trigger ad-attributed credit. Both are needed — but Smart Bidding relies primarily on Google Ads conversion tags, not just GA4.
Browser pixels are blocked by ad blockers, iOS restrictions, and Safari's ITP. Server-side tracking (CAPI, Events API) sends conversion data directly from your server to the ad platform — bypassing browser limitations and recovering 20–40% of lost signal.
Simple setups (one website, one ad platform) take 2–3 days. Complex setups with multiple platforms, server-side APIs, and custom event schemas take 5–7 days for build + QA.
Basic CAPI setups on Shopify and WordPress can be done without a developer. Custom implementations on bespoke platforms may require backend access. I assess this upfront and handle as much as possible without developer involvement.
