We found something unbelievable in a client audit last month.

A Google Ads account showing insane ROAS … the kind that makes you want to double budget overnight.

But something felt off. Too good to be true.

So we dug deeper.

Turns out, two GA4 properties were both feeding conversions into Google Ads. Same purchases. Double (sometimes triple) counted.

That “amazing” ROAS? Inflated by ~3x.

Every optimization, every budget increase, every Smart Bidding decision—built on false data. The growth strategy was quicksand.

Here’s how we fixed it:
→ Identified the accurate Shopify-linked conversion
→ Set duplicates to secondary
→ Rebuilt measurement from the ground up
→ Reset expectations + scaling plans

Lesson: impressive dashboards don’t build brands. Accurate measurement does.

Your board doesn’t care about vanity ROAS. They care about real revenue growth.

That’s the difference between an agency that spends your money and a partner that protects it.

How confident are you in your attribution setup? Now’s the time to get that audit booked and see if your numbers are based in reality.

Drop me a line and let’s talk.
