The 4 Biggest Myths About Google, Meta and YouTube Ad Tracking in 2025
Don’t fall for these myths - embrace a data-driven future with solutions that ensure accurate, actionable tracking. Our method empowers your business to achieve measurable results in a privacy-first world.

Google, Meta, and YouTube often overestimate conversions, making it difficult to pinpoint which campaigns are truly driving results.
"One-Size-Fits-All Tracking Solutions Work for Everyone"
Generic tracking tools fail to account for the complexity of multi-channel campaigns and cross-device user behavior.
"All Data Is Being Used Effectively"
Many companies leave valuable insights untapped due to siloed data and a lack of integration across platforms.
