the problem

How do you get one set of numbers you can trust?

GA4 says one thing, Stripe says another, and your booking system disagrees with both. Matching them by hand takes hours, and the answer is still fuzzy.

askotter reads Google Ads and GitHub side by side, so it can combine your accounts into one clean report you can ask questions of.

A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our Google Ads management work.

matching the records

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 combined reporting uses from each

Combined reporting needs a shared identifier or a shared time grain.

From Google Ads that means gclids and search terms. From GitHub it means deploy timestamps.

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.
