About

every agency i've worked at lost a client over numbers that didn't match. not bad ads. not bad creative. the work was solid. but meta reported one number. google reported another. the crm showed something different. and the cfo looked at actual revenue and none of it lined up. that's not a performance problem. that's a conversion tracking problem. i came up through paid media at top agencies in canada. - managed $25m+ in ad spend across saas, ecommerce, and lead gen. - ran campaigns on meta, google, linkedin, tiktok. - managed attribution across ga4, hubspot, salesforce, shopify. the biggest wins never came from better creative or more budget. one saas company. their conversion api was sending events meta couldn't match. event match quality below 5. enhanced conversions on google were double counting. gclid match rate at 40%. i fixed the tracking. match rate went to 95%. cpl dropped 70%. same ads. same budget. one ecommerce brand. meta reported 247 conversions. shopify showed 89. nobody could explain the gap. the pixel and capi were both firing for the same purchase with no deduplication. i rebuilt the conversion tracking. recovered $1.24m in annual revenue that was invisible to the platform. that's what i do now. paid media lab is conversion tracking and attribution for paid media teams. i audit the full path from ad click to pixel to conversion api to crm to revenue. i find where conversion data drops, duplicates, or never makes it back to the platform. then i fix it so meta, google, ga4, and your crm all report the same number. what that fixes: 1 - event match quality scores that are dragging down your meta campaigns 2 - enhanced conversions on google that are inflating your reported roas 3 - offline conversions from your crm that never feed back to the platform 4 - ga4 consent mode gaps that are dropping 30 to 40% of your conversion data 5 - attribution gaps between platforms that make scaling a guessing game what changes after: - platform and crm within 4% of each other - emq above 8 across all events - smart bidding and advantage+ optimize on verified purchases - one set of numbers marketing and finance both trust 7 days. read only access. no changes to your live campaigns. most teams don't need new ads. they need their conversion tracking to stop lying about how the ads are performing. if you're spending $10k+ a month and your platform numbers don't match your actual revenue, that gap is costing you more every day you leave it open. paidmedialab.com/book

Paid media lab

Founder

  • i started paid media lab after watching the same problem end the same way too many times.
  • an agency delivers solid work. the client's cfo pulls up a report that doesn't match what the platform says.
  • nobody can explain the gap.
  • trust breaks.
  • the agency loses the account.
  • a new team comes in and inherits the same broken data.
  • only 3% of agencies keep clients longer than 36 months.
  • the other 97% churn because somewhere between the ad click and the bank account, the numbers stopped matching and nobody knew where.
  • paid media lab sits in that gap.
  • i don't run ads. i don't touch campaigns. i don't replace your agency or your team.
  • i fix the data layer between your ad platforms and your revenue.
  • what that looks like:
  • map every conversion from click to platform to crm to actual sale
  • find where events drop, duplicate, or never make it back
  • reconcile what meta, google, ga4, and your crm each report against what you actually got paid
  • fix the infrastructure so your algorithms optimize on verified revenue, not phantom conversions
  • what changes after:
  • platform and crm within 4% of each other
  • match rates above 90%
  • one set of numbers that marketing and finance both trust
  • scaling decisions based on what actually happened
  • average client recovers 30%+ of missing conversion data in the first week.
  • 7 days. read only access. no disruption to live campaigns.
