💀☠ "Is GA4 over-reporting revenue? It could be sabotaging your Google Ads campaigns!"
You are in a particularly problematic situation if your GA4 property is over-reporting revenue, you are not aware of this issue, and you have imported this purchase conversion to Google Ads as a primary conversion.
Overreported revenue in GA4 leads to inflated purchase conversion values in Google Ads which can give a false impression of campaign performance, making your ads appear more successful than they actually are.
Since the primary conversion actions are used for bidding optimization, the inflated revenue data can directly and negatively influence your campaign's bidding strategies and budget allocation.
