- 4How to tell which posts are driving salesAnalytics tools like GA4 show traffic and channels, but connecting them to actual orders is mostly guesswork because buyers often read posts days before returning directly to buy. Without immediate attribution to specific posts, store owners are left guessing whether their effort is actually leading to sales and how much time they should invest in content creation.
- 3Why does turning on a cookie banner ruin traffic attribution?Activating a built-in cookie banner causes tracked traffic from search engines and other sources to be misattributed as direct traffic. At the same time, low consent rates in the EU and UK deprive ad platforms of crucial click IDs, killing ad performance and sales attribution.
- 3How to track sales from AI shopping assistantsStore analytics rarely show when a customer journey originates from an AI tool. The activity usually looks like crawlers pulling prices and descriptions rather than real shoppers, making it impossible to trace completed orders or site visits back to an AI mention.
