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.

QuickBooks on its own

QuickBooks sees what was billed and paid. It has no idea which marketing produced the customer.

Timing. QuickBooks shows revenue when invoices and sales receipts are entered, which can trail the sale in a busy month.

Access. The QuickBooks Online Accounting API with read-only OAuth access.
