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.

matching the records

How Meta Ads and WordPress records line up

Meta Ads and WordPress both report by page. URLs are normalised first (protocol, trailing slash and tracking parameters removed) and then joined page by page.

Shared between the two: the page URL.

What combined reporting uses from each

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

From Meta Ads that means fbclids, UTM tags and lead-form emails. From WordPress it means page URLs.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

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.

WordPress on its own

WordPress knows what is published and when it changed. Without analytics beside it, it has no idea which pages bring in work.

Timing. WordPress stamps the publish and modified date on every post and page, which marks exactly when content changed.

Access. The WordPress REST API with an application password.
