Common questions

Are X Ads worth it for a small business? expand_more

They can be for some audiences, such as event-driven brands or topics people discuss there. For most local trades, search ads and Meta Ads reach buyers more directly. A small test with proper tracking is the safest way to find out.

How do I track X Ads conversions in GA4? expand_more

Add campaign tags to your ad links, set up the actions you care about as conversions in GA4 and use Google Tag Manager to fire them. Then test that each action records once. Check the source in your reports after a few days.

Why does GA4 show less X traffic than X reports? expand_more

Platforms count clicks, while GA4 counts visits that load your tracking code. Some people leave before the page loads, and privacy settings can block data. Moderate gaps are normal, but large ones suggest a tagging problem.
