The gaps

One week, three numbers.

An ad platform, an analytics tool and your back office rarely count the same number of sales. The numbers differ from one platform to another for known reasons, detailed below. Pick a source to see what it measures.

What makes the numbers vary

Consent and cookies

Visitors who refuse cookies partly escape measurement, and some browsers such as Safari limit cookie lifetime.

Blockers and browser

Ad blockers and browser settings prevent some tags from firing.

Browsing context

A device switch, private browsing or a purchase from an app's in-app browser breaks the link between the click and the sale.

Attribution rules

Each ad platform applies its own attribution window and model, and sometimes counts conversions after a mere view.

Dates and time zones

An ad platform often assigns the sale to the day of the click, the back office to the day of the order, and time zones differ.

Reporting delays

Conversions sometimes arrive several days after the click, and the numbers for a recent period are still moving.

Offline conversions

Sales closed by phone, in store or after a meeting only appear in ad platforms if they are imported.

The dashboard

Your data, read in one place.

Each client has a dedicated dashboard, available in real time. Clients only see their own data. Browse the pages to see what they contain.

Dashboard
The scope

From tag to reporting.

Reliable measurement depends on the whole chain: what is captured on the site, what is sent to the ad platforms, then what is reconciled with sales.

Website

Tagging plan

The list of events to track (purchase, lead, sign-up), with their parameters and value.

Website

Conversion capture

Conversions are captured in real time on the site, in the browser or server-side.

Consent

Consent and GDPR

Tracking respects visitors' choices, collected by the consent banner and passed on to the ad platforms.

Ad platforms

Conversions by ad platform

For each client, the conversions that matter are defined with them, then checked against the platforms' numbers.

Data from the ad platforms, the back office and the goals is gathered in one database, with an alert if a collection fails.

FAQ

Tracking and data, in practice.

01What does a tracking and data agency do?

It checks that a site's conversions are properly captured and sent to the ad platforms, then brings media data and sales together so they can be read in one place. At JAAB, this work directly supports campaign management.

02Why do ad platform numbers differ from my sales?

Each source counts in its own way. An ad platform attributes conversions to itself according to its own attribution window, an analytics tool misses visitors who refuse cookies or use a blocker, and the back office records actual sales, including those closed offline. We use the back office as the reference and document the gaps.

03What is a tagging plan?

It is the list of events to track on a site (purchase, lead, sign-up), with their parameters, their value and the ad platforms they are sent to. It serves as a shared reference between the marketing team, the developers and the agency.

04Is the data available in real time?

Yes. Conversions are captured in real time on the site, and the dashboard gives real-time access to data from the ad platforms, the back office and the goals.

05Which sources can you bring together?

The ad platforms managed by JAAB (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat, Pinterest, X and ChatGPT), as well as your back-office data and your goals, for example from a Google Sheets file. Sources are defined at the start, based on the ad platforms used.

06Who has access to the dashboard?

Your team and JAAB. Access is through a login link sent by email, and each client only sees their own data.

07Is conversion tracking GDPR compliant?

Yes, if it respects visitors' consent. The choices collected by the consent banner are passed on to the tags and ad platforms, including when part of the tracking goes through a server.
