  • Test goals or conversion events in real-time and with tag/debugging tools.
  • Check destination match types, regex, trailing slashes and query parameters.

  • For revenue, use proper e-commerce tracking and de-duplicate transactions.

Do not treat conversion data in isolation. Conversion counts are an input to business value — ROI also requires revenue and cost data. Segment results by channel, device and cohort before drawing conclusions. For experiments, ensure adequate sample size and statistical significance rather than acting on small, noisy changes (a concise primer on A/B testing significance is available at Evan Miller’s guide: https://www.evanmiller.org/ab-testing/).
