Something shifted last Tuesday, and nobody noticed until Friday. By then you had lost five days of bookings. The data to catch it was there the whole time.
How askotter handles it
askotter reads Google Ads and GitHub side by side, so it can catch changes in your numbers within minutes.
A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our Google Ads management work.
How Google Ads and GitHub records line up
Google Ads and GitHub share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in Google Ads clicks can be read against what GitHub recorded in the same hours.
What anomaly detection uses from each
Anomaly detection needs a steady daily series with a known normal range.
From Google Ads that means cost per click and spend by campaign per day. From GitHub it means deployment times to line up against metric breaks.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Google Ads on its own
Google Ads counts the conversions it can see through its own tag. It cannot tell a refunded sale from a kept one, or a junk lead from a good one.
Timing. Google Ads credits a conversion back to the date of the click, so yesterday's conversion count can still rise for days.
Access. The Google Ads API with read access to the account.
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
