Why connect Google Ads and Meta Ads
Google Ads spend sits beside your Stripe payments and booking records, so the return is counted from your own books. It fits into our Google Ads management work.
How Google Ads and Meta Ads records line up
Google Ads and Meta Ads both report by page. URLs are normalised first (protocol, trailing slash and tracking parameters removed) and then joined page by page.
Google Ads and Meta Ads both keep the UTM source, medium and campaign values from the visit, so activity lines up campaign by campaign even when no single person can be matched.
Shared between the two: the page URL and the UTM campaign tags.
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.
Meta Ads on its own
Meta sees who saw and clicked an ad. It cannot see a sale its pixel missed, and lead-form contacts stop being visible to it once they leave Facebook or Instagram.
Timing. Meta reports conversions under its own attribution setting, seven days after a click and one day after a view by default.
Access. The Meta Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
