GTM fires tags in the wrong order. GA4 counts sessions twice. Google Ads claims conversions it didn't drive. We audit your full Google stack and show you what's actually real.
2 containers found
Firing correctly
Conversion tag missing
eCommerce events absent
Clean — no duplicates
Most brands don't find out until their Google Ads ROAS tanks for no obvious reason.
This classic mismatch usually means Google Ads tag and GA4 are measuring different things — or one is double-counting.
UTM stripping, redirect chains, or misconfigured cross-domain tracking silently corrupts your attribution data.
GTM can show "published" but still fire tags on wrong triggers — the preview mode tells a completely different story.
Most brands have 3–5 critical tracking errors they don't know about. We find them all.
Tag firing order, container health, published vs workspace version, trigger logic errors
Session counting, event deduplication, enhanced measurement settings, custom dimensions
Conversion action setup, value tracking, cross-account conversion import, smart bidding signals
eCommerce events, custom event schema, correct variable names, timing of pushes
GSC connection to GA4, sitemap submission, crawl coverage, Core Web Vitals data
Linker parameter setup, session continuity across subdomains and checkout domains

Their GA4 was double-counting purchases through a duplicate GTM tag, inflating conversion volume by 40%. Google Ads was optimising Smart Bidding on inflated numbers — bidding up on keywords that looked like they converted well but actually didn't. We rebuilt the container, deduplicated the purchase event, and reconnected clean conversion data to Google Ads.
No back-and-forth. Done in 5 working days.
Read-only to GTM, GA4, Google Ads. 5 minutes to set up, fully reversible.

If we don't surface at least 3 actionable issues in your Google tracking stack, you don't pay. We've done enough audits to know this almost never happens.
If Google Ads is optimising on wrong conversion data, every rupee of smart bidding budget is going to the wrong audiences. That compounds daily.

Our GTM container had 470 campaigns feeding broken data into GA4. Ashish rebuilt the entire container from scratch — clean triggers, correct dataLayer events, Google Ads conversion properly mapped. For the first time our smart bidding actually had real signals to work with.
We had GA4 installed but it was collecting junk data — sessions inflated, events misfiring, Google Ads optimising on phantom conversions. Ashish diagnosed the GTM trigger conflicts in hours and delivered a clean setup with proper Lead event tracking.
GTM was firing lead events on every page load instead of form submissions — our Google Ads was optimising on thousands of fake conversions. After the audit we finally understood why CPL was so high. Fixed in one session.
I've managed Google Ads campaigns for D2C and fintech brands across India and Southeast Asia. The most common problem I see: brands bidding on broken conversion data — and wondering why smart bidding never works for them.
GTM looks deceptively simple until you realise a single misconfigured trigger is corrupting six months of GA4 data. Clean Google tracking is the foundation every campaign sits on.
When you book a check with me, I look at your actual GTM container, your GA4 event stream, and your Google Ads conversion actions — and tell you exactly what's lying to you and what it's costing.
Attribution window differences, cross-device gaps, and different conversion counting methods all cause this. The deeper issue is usually that GTM fires the GA4 event and Google Ads tag at different points in the user journey.
Yes — read-only access to Google Ads, GA4, and GTM. We never make changes without your approval first.
We audit all of them. Multiple containers firing on the same site is one of the most common causes of inflated session and event counts.
Google's tools tell you if tags are firing. We tell you if they're firing correctly — with the right values, at the right time, without duplicating data.
Yes. We validate that your conversion actions are sending the right value signals to Google's bidding algorithm — wrong signals mean smart bidding works against you.
We verify linker parameters are passing correctly between your main site and checkout domains — one of the most common causes of session fragmentation in GA4.
We verify GSC is connected to GA4 and that your sitemap is submitted — essential for organic data flowing correctly into GA4.
GA4 replaced bounce rate with engagement rate. But a 0% engagement rate usually means your session_start and first event timing is misconfigured in GTM.
Yes — we validate the GA4 → Google Ads conversion import is set up correctly and that the right events are marked as conversions.
We assess your current consent setup and whether Consent Mode v2 is correctly passing consent signals to both GA4 and Google Ads for modelled conversions.
UA was sunset in 2024. If you're still relying on UA data you have a serious problem. We'll migrate and audit your GA4 setup from scratch.
Most teams confuse "saved" with "published" in GTM. We check both your live container version and your workspace for unpublished changes that are silently not running.
15 minutes. We'll review your GTM and GA4 live and tell you exactly what's wrong — before you spend a rupee.
