For ecommerce brands spending $3k–$20k/month on ads

Is Meta taking credit for sales it didn't make?

Enter three numbers from last month. In 15 seconds you'll see how far your ad platform's reported revenue is from what your store actually took in.

Why the numbers don't match

Ad platforms count a sale if someone saw or clicked an ad at any point before buying, even if they were already going to buy. Add two or three platforms and the same order can be claimed more than once.

1
Platform numbers rise

Each platform reports its own version of "revenue from ads".

2
Bank balance doesn't

Your store revenue is the number that actually pays for stock and rent.

3
Budget goes to the wrong place

Spend follows the inflated numbers, so money lands in campaigns that mostly capture sales that were coming anyway.

Questions

Do you need access to my ad accounts?

No. You send the numbers yourself, so there is nothing to connect and nothing sensitive to hand over.

What can't be judged from numbers alone?

Creative quality, broken tracking, and true incrementality (what ads caused versus what would have happened anyway). The review looks at budget allocation and unit economics, and suggests simple tests where the numbers can't settle a question.

Is the gap check exact?

No. It's a rule-of-thumb comparison. Some difference between platform and store numbers is normal, and the thresholds are guidance, not proof that a platform is wrong.

What do you do with my numbers?

The calculator never sends them anywhere. For the review, I use what you submit only to prepare your review.
