More than the platform's word for it.
Ground truth is Adgent's read of sources the ad platforms do not own. Adgent puts GA4, Search Console, Merchant Center and your Drive files beside Meta and Google Ads, so an answer can lean on a source the platform does not own.
Pick a source
Each one answers a question the ad platform can't answer on its own.
Always in the room: Meta Ads, Google Ads and memory, what your team confirmed.
GA4
Sessions, funnels and conversions, read in chat when a question needs them.
Conversion-based budget moves wait. Impression share and pacing remain in the analysis.
Run me a Google analysis.
Adgent
Argued from impression share and pacing while GA4 is down. The GA4 funnel has been broken since 6 Aug, per your standing note, so conversion-based budget moves wait.
One move now: the Performance Max pair paces 35% on its budget. Shift the difference to a campaign with better rank.
Where it stopsSits next to platform counts, never over them. When it breaks, the argument changes; nothing gets invented.
Search Console
What people typed before they reached you, and where you already rank.
Is the brand campaign buying clicks we'd get anyway?
Adgent
You already rank first organically on your brand terms. The brand campaign reports strong ROAS on the same terms.
Worth a short brand holdout to see what the ad adds.
Where it stopsFlags a brand test; it can't prove what the ad added.
Merchant Center
Catalogue, disapprovals and per-product performance. Category benchmarks with Market Insights on.
Which products are disapproved, and are we still advertising them?
Adgent
Three products are disapproved for a missing GTIN. Two sit in last week's top-spending Shopping campaign. Add the GTINs and resubmit.
Price benchmarks: not available, Market Insights is off.
Where it stopsChat only, not the daily analysis.
Drive & Sheets
Your own files: a store revenue export, a margin sheet, a CRM export. The platform's revenue is read against your store's, and the gap is named.
Here's our CRM export. Which campaigns bring qualified leads, and which bring empty volume?
Adgent
leads-september.csv: 212 leads, 61 qualified. Meta's lead form brought the volume; Google search brought most of the qualified ones.
The same account now separates lead volume from lead quality.
What it addsQualified-lead context beside platform volume.
The GA4 answer is from one live account, 26 Aug 2026, condensed and translated.
A platform grading its own homework is not a scandal. It's a structure.
Your margin, returns and take rate were never on the pixel's side. Share your store's own revenue in Drive and the platform's number is read against it; tell Adgent your margin once and memory keeps it.
Every connection, and how far it goes.
Each source is scoped to a site, an account or the files you pick, then joined to the question in the same working record.
Rows with an arrow open their answer in the source desk.
