Analytics & Measurement

Use a click-to-visit reconciliation worksheet

Explain why an ad report and landing report disagree.

Set the matching rules

Use the same time zone, campaign, and date range. Record whether the platform counts all interactions or just outbound clicks. Keep landing requests and observable analytics sessions separate.

Set the matching rules. Calculate the observed gap. Test the highest-volume paths.
Key decisions covered in this article.

Calculate the observed gap

If 1,200 outbound clicks produce 900 measured sessions, the ratio is 75%. Some of the gap can come from repeat clicks, redirects, consent, or page failures. The ratio is a diagnostic rather than a recovery estimate.

Test the highest-volume paths

Recreate a tagged visit on representative devices. Verify the final destination and whether the measurement you expect is available in that state. Fix the known cause before adjusting spend.

Measure clicks per impression. Use the same click type, placement scope, and date range across comparisons.
