Which campaigns should you grow and which should you stop?
Each campaign gets judged inside its own platform. A Meta campaign can look weak on its own and still drive 40% of your Google conversions. You cannot see that from inside Meta.

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 campaign optimization uses from each
Campaign optimization needs cost on one side and outcome on the other.
From Google Ads that means cost and clicks by campaign and search term. From GitHub it means changes to landing pages that live campaigns point at.
These two tools hold no shared customer identifier, so per-customer answers need a third connected tool that each side can match, such as GA4 or your CRM. Daily totals work with these two alone.
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.
