The #1 cause of wasted ad spend in 2025
Your data is lying (and how to fix it)
Most marketers blame their campaigns when ROAS dips.
But in 2025, it’s usually not the campaigns.
It’s the tracking.
HHere’s what’s breaking things:
Privacy updates and cookies going away are hiding up to 30% of conversions.
Client-side setups underreport, so Ads Manager is starving on bad data.
GA4, Ads Manager, and your CRM don’t line up. Finance says one number, marketing says another.
End result? Your algorithms are flying blind. Every budget decision feels like a gamble.
That’s why I built the Attribution Recovery Protocol™.
In 14 days, we rebuild your tracking so you can finally see the real numbers.
Here’s what that includes:
Server-side CAPI with event deduplication
GA4 enhanced conversions and match rate fixes
A clear before-and-after report showing how much revenue you’re getting back
It’s 100% Free
