- $72K/mo brand — tracking was the bottleneck, not the ads
$72K/mo brand — tracking was the bottleneck, not the ads
They thought their ads were failing. The truth? 30% of revenue was invisible.
Here’s one you’ll relate to.
DTC brand spending ~$72K/mo.
Solid creatives. Scaling budgets.
But:
Match rate stuck at 65%
GA4 data didn’t line up with backend
Meta underreporting by $30K
Ads looked like they weren’t working. But they were.
The tracking was lying.
14 days later, after fixing it with my Attribution Recovery Protocol (ARP):
✅ Match rate 92%
✅ $18K+/mo in “invisible revenue” recovered
✅ CPL dropped 22%
I break it down in the video:
