🗣 In this episode, Lewis Smith and James Eardley are joined by Troy Egri from ClickMagick to uncover one of the most expensive mistakes ecommerce entrepreneurs make when running paid ads.
Most store owners trust the numbers they see inside Google Ads and Meta Ads Manager. But what if those numbers aren't telling the full story?
Troy explains why inaccurate attribution can lead to poor scaling decisions, wasted ad spend, and missed opportunities — even for businesses already generating significant revenue. He also breaks down how proper tracking and attribution can help ecommerce brands make better decisions, improve profitability, and unlock more growth from their existing advertising budget.
