01Common tracking problems we fix
- Duplicate conversions from both a GA4 import and a native Google Ads tag counting the same lead.
- Micro-conversions as primary goals — page views or button clicks inflating results and steering bids.
- Missing calls and bookings, so the leads that matter most are invisible to the platforms.
- No purchase values, which stops value-based bidding and ROAS targets working.
- Consent banners that block everything, or tags that ignore consent altogether.
- Orphaned tags from previous agencies and plugins slowing the site and muddying the data.
02Enhanced conversions, server-side signals and consent
Browser restrictions and ad blockers mean a growing share of conversions never reach the ad platforms through a standard tag. Enhanced conversions for Google Ads and the Meta Conversions API help close that gap by securely passing hashed first-party data, improving match rates without exposing personal information. Combined with a correctly configured consent mode, you get better measurement while respecting the choices your visitors make.
03How this fits with analytics and CRO
Conversion tracking setup is the implementation layer: the events and platform connections that make paid media measurable. Broader reporting, GA4 configuration and dashboards are covered by our Google Analytics service, and turning more of that tracked traffic into customers is the job of conversion rate optimisation and landing page optimisation. If you suspect your Google Ads account has deeper issues, a Google Ads audit is a sensible companion piece.
04Who we set tracking up for
Most of our tracking work is for businesses already spending on Google Ads or Meta who suspect the numbers don't add up: leads in the platform that never reached the inbox, sales in the store that never showed in the ad account, or a sudden drop in conversions after a website rebuild. We also set tracking up before new campaigns launch, which is the cheapest time to get it right. Our senior specialists each bring 10+ years of experience, work from our Sydney office and don't lock you into long contracts.
