Track lead-to-sale outcomes while respecting consent, identity limits and data quality.

Capture the contact chain first
An ad click may lead to a phone conversation or in-store purchase. Record source, time and a case identifier in call or form workflows, subject to valid permission and local data-protection requirements. Not every sale can be attributed to one ad with certainty.
Standardize CRM stages
Initial inquiry, qualified conversation, proposal and completed sale should be distinct states. Store amount, date and cancellations when available. Verify consent and platform terms before sending conversion data to an ad platform.
- Source or campaign identifier
- Lead and sale timestamps
- Unique case ID
- Consent and retention rule
Report unmatched sales honestly
Phone changes, cookie rejection and cross-device journeys reduce match rates. Do not treat unmatched sales as zero sales; show overall results separately from the trackable subset.
