While you create your campaign on Google Ads and use Trackier to view stats for different KPIs such as clicks, installs, impressions, revenue and more, there are cases when your data might not match the exact value shown on your Google Ads panel. While we work closely with Google Ads to minimize these discrepancies, advertisers should be aware of the following reasons.
