Your Marketing Data Can Look Right and Still Be Wrong
Most businesses rely on several platforms to measure marketing performance.
This may include Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn, Shopify, WooCommerce, CRM systems and internal sales reports.
Each platform collects data differently.
Each platform uses its own attribution rules.
And each platform can report a different version of performance.
This can make it difficult to answer important questions such as:
- Which marketing channels are generating genuine revenue?
- Are conversions being tracked correctly?
- Why do advertising platforms report different results?
- Are multiple platforms claiming the same sale?
- Can reported marketing ROI be trusted?
- Which campaigns should receive more budget?
Attribution Metrics helps you understand what the data means, where the gaps are and how confidently the numbers can be used.
Marketing Measurement Problems Are Often Hidden
Tracking problems do not always create an obvious error.
Reports can continue to populate.
Dashboards can still look professional.
Advertising platforms can continue showing conversions and revenue.
But underneath the surface, your data may include:
- Missing conversions
- Duplicate conversions
- Incorrect revenue values
- Broken campaign attribution
- Unconnected CRM and website data
- Consent-related data loss
- Inconsistent reporting between platforms
- Campaigns optimising towards the wrong actions
The problem is not simply that a dashboard may be inaccurate.
The greater risk is that future budget, campaign and strategy decisions may be based on the same unreliable information.
What Attribution Metrics Does
Marketing Tracking Audits
We review how website activity, conversions, leads and revenue are being captured across your analytics and advertising platforms.
A marketing tracking audit can identify:
- Missing or incorrect tracking
- Duplicate conversions
- Broken ecommerce tracking
- Inconsistent conversion definitions
- Incorrect revenue values
- Tagging and implementation issues
- Gaps between marketing data and business outcomes
The result is a clear view of what is working, what is unreliable and what should be corrected.
Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager
We support the setup, review and improvement of Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager.
This can include:
- GA4 configuration
- Google Tag Manager implementation
- Event tracking
- Conversion tracking
- Ecommerce tracking
- Form and lead tracking
- Campaign tracking
- Consent configuration
- Data quality validation
The goal is not simply to collect more data.
It is to collect the right data consistently and make it useful.
Marketing Attribution Analysis
Marketing attribution is the process of determining which channels and campaigns contributed to a conversion.
Different platforms use different attribution models, lookback windows and tracking methods.
This means Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta and CRM systems may all report different results.
We help businesses understand:
- Why platforms disagree
- Which differences are expected
- Where attribution may be misleading
- Whether channels are overclaiming results
- Which data should be used for different decisions
- How to evaluate performance across the full customer journey
Marketing Performance Analysis
Reliable tracking should lead to better decisions.
We analyse marketing performance to help businesses understand:
- Which channels are contributing to revenue
- Which campaigns are producing valuable customers or leads
- Where budget may be underperforming
- Where growth opportunities may exist
- Whether reported ROI is credible
- What should be tested, reduced, protected or scaled
Ongoing Analytics Management
Marketing measurement is not a one-time task.
Websites change. Campaigns launch. Tags are edited. Consent platforms are updated. Tracking can become less reliable without anyone noticing.
Ongoing support can include:
- Tracking monitoring
- Conversion validation
- Data quality checks
- Attribution reviews
- Marketing performance analysis
- Reporting and dashboards
- Investigation of reporting discrepancies
- Ongoing implementation support
Why Marketing Platforms Report Different Results
Google Analytics, advertising platforms, CRM systems and ecommerce platforms often report different conversion and revenue figures.
This does not automatically mean something is broken.
Differences can be caused by:
- Different attribution models
- Different conversion windows
- Cross-device customer journeys
- Cookie consent choices
- Browser tracking restrictions
- Ad blockers
- View-through attribution
- Modelled conversions
- Different definitions of a conversion
- Missing or duplicate tracking
Some variation is normal.
The important question is whether those differences are understood and whether each dataset is being used for the right purpose.
Attribution Metrics helps distinguish normal reporting differences from genuine tracking or attribution problems.

Why Work With Attribution Metrics?
Independent Analysis
We review the wider measurement setup rather than relying on the figures reported by one advertising platform.
Commercial Context
Technical tracking issues are explained in terms of their likely effect on reporting, optimisation, budget allocation and revenue decisions.
Clear Priorities
Not every discrepancy has the same importance. We help distinguish urgent problems from lower-priority improvements.
Platform-Agnostic Guidance

Practical Recommendations
Our work is designed to produce clear next actions, not a technical report that leaves you unsure what to do.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Attribution Metrics do?
Attribution Metrics provides marketing tracking, analytics and attribution services.
We help businesses understand how marketing data is collected, why reporting platforms disagree and whether performance figures can be trusted.
Why do Google Analytics and Google Ads show different conversions?
Google Analytics and Google Ads can show different conversion figures because they use different attribution methods, conversion windows, identity signals and reporting rules.
Large or unexplained discrepancies may also indicate missing tracking, duplicate conversions or configuration problems.
Why does Meta report more revenue than Google Analytics?
Meta may include conversions attributed through ad clicks or views within its attribution window.
Google Analytics may assign the same customer to a different channel based on its own attribution model.
Consent choices, cross-device behaviour and tracking loss can also contribute to the difference.
What is the difference between tracking and attribution?
Tracking records customer actions such as page views, form submissions, calls and purchases.
Attribution assigns credit for those actions to marketing channels, campaigns or interactions.
Reliable attribution depends on accurate tracking.
What is a marketing tracking audit?
A marketing tracking audit is a structured review of how website activity, conversions, leads and revenue are recorded across analytics, advertising and reporting platforms.
It identifies errors, gaps and inconsistencies that may affect marketing decisions.
What is the Marketing Data Risk Assessment?
The Marketing Data Risk Assessment is a free online assessment that reviews potential weaknesses in your tracking, attribution and reporting setup.
It provides a personalised risk score, estimated financial exposure, key risk areas and recommended next steps.
Is the assessment a replacement for a tracking audit?
No.
The assessment identifies where risk may exist based on your answers.
A detailed technical audit may be required to confirm the exact cause and corrective action.
How long does the assessment take?
Most businesses can complete it in approximately five minutes.
Understand Your Data Before You Increase Your Marketing Spend
More marketing activity creates more data.
It does not automatically create better information.
If conversions, revenue or customer journeys are being measured incorrectly, increasing spend can increase the impact of those problems.
The first step is establishing whether your existing tracking, attribution and reporting are reliable enough to support the decisions being made.
