The system
Three parts that work together
1. Demand: Google and Meta Ads
2. Measurement you can trust
- GA4 and Google Tag Manager set up correctly
- Meta Conversions API and server-side tagging
- Offline conversion imports from booked clients
- One dashboard: cost per lead and revenue by channel
3. Follow-up that doesn't drop leads
- GoHighLevel pipelines and lead stages
- Instant SMS and email follow-up
- Reminders that cut no-shows
Tracking, step by step
How I set up measurement before spending more
This is the part most B2C brands skip, and it's the part that decides whether every other number can be trusted.
- 01
Audit what fires
I check every tag, pixel and conversion action, and remove duplicates and anything that counts page views as leads.
- 02
Define real conversions
A booked call, a paid order or a qualified form, agreed with you. Everything else becomes a secondary signal.
- 03
Server-side and offline
Meta CAPI and Google offline imports, so the platforms learn from customers your CRM confirms.
- 04
One report
Spend, leads, cost per lead and revenue by channel, in one place, every month.
Honest fit
When this isn't the right service
If you sell low-priced products in high volume, a dedicated e-commerce agency with Shopping feed specialists will serve you better. My work fits businesses where each customer is worth enough that tracking, follow-up and lead quality matter more than raw volume.

Fit
Who this is for
Med spas, clinics and other high-ticket B2C businesses where each customer is worth enough that a 10% better close rate changes the year.
If most of your sales happen offline, on a call or in a consultation, the ad platforms can't see them unless someone sends that data back. That is usually the first thing I fix, because every budget decision after it depends on it.
What full-funnel tracking means in practice
"Full funnel" gets used loosely. For me it means you can follow a customer from the ad they first clicked to the money they paid, and see the cost at every step: cost per click, cost per lead, cost per booked appointment and cost per paying customer. Many B2C brands can see the first two. Far fewer can see the last two, and those are the ones that tell you where to spend.
Getting there takes four pieces working together:
Clean tags
Google Tag Manager as the single place where tracking lives, with GA4, Google Ads and the Meta pixel firing on the same, agreed events.
Server-side signals
Meta's Conversions API and server-side tagging, so conversions still reach the platforms when browsers block cookies.
A CRM that records outcomes
GoHighLevel or whatever you already use, with lead stages that your team actually updates.
Outcomes sent back to the ad platforms
Offline conversion imports, so Google and Meta learn from customers rather than from form fills.
Google Ads and Meta Ads: how I split the job
Google Search catches people who already know what they want and are looking for it. Meta reaches people who don't know you yet, or who looked once and left. For a high-ticket B2C service, I usually start with Google for direct demand, then use Meta to retarget site visitors and build demand among people who match your best customers. The split depends on your data. If search volume in your area is small, Meta may do more of the work.
The details of the search side are on my Google Ads page. This page is about joining the channels up. If you're deciding how much to put into search first, my calculator gives a rough starting figure for search.
Lead follow-up: the part that wastes the most money
A good campaign can be judged a failure simply because nobody called the leads back. A lead who waits a day has often booked with someone else. So part of this service is the follow-up system: an instant text and email when a form comes in, a task for your team, reminders before appointments to reduce no-shows, and a clear pipeline view so nothing sits untouched. GoHighLevel handles this well, and I can connect most other CRMs too.
Your first 90 days
Month one: measurement
Audit every tag and pixel, remove duplicates, agree what counts as a real conversion, set up server-side tracking and connect the CRM. No scaling until this is done.
Month two: campaigns and follow-up
Restructure Google and Meta campaigns around the services that make you money, and switch on automated follow-up. I build retargeting audiences from real site visitors and lead lists.
Month three: compare and adjust
With clean data from both platforms, compare cost per customer by channel and move budget toward what works. A quick break-even ROAS check shows the return each channel needs once costs are counted. Expect the first few weeks of new data to be noisy; decisions get better as it builds up.
Common mistakes I fix
- The Meta pixel and the Conversions API both reporting the same purchase, with no deduplication, so results look twice as good as they are.
- Google and Meta both claiming the same customer, and nobody checking the CRM to see what actually happened.
- Retargeting everyone who visited, including existing customers and people who only read the careers page.
- Lead forms that ask for too little to qualify anyone, or so much that nobody finishes them.
Who this is for, and who it isn't
Good fit: med spas, clinics and other B2C service businesses where the customer is worth enough that follow-up and tracking clearly pay their way. Less good fit: e-commerce stores selling many low-priced products, where product feeds and creative volume matter more than lead handling.
Reporting and pricing
One monthly report with spend, leads, booked appointments and revenue by channel, taken from the CRM where possible rather than from each ad platform's own view. Pricing is set after I review your current ads, tracking and CRM, because the setup work varies a lot from one business to another. Ad spend goes directly to Google and Meta from your own accounts.
For the numbers behind my Google Ads work, see results from the accounts I manage. If you run a med spa specifically, the med spa marketing page goes into treatment-level campaigns.

FAQ
Questions
Do I need both Google and Meta?
Not always. If search demand is strong, Google comes first. I'll recommend the mix based on your data.
Can you work with my existing CRM?
Yes. GoHighLevel is my default, but I connect tracking to most CRMs.
What is server-side tracking and do I need it?
It sends conversion data from your server to Google and Meta rather than relying only on the browser, which ad blockers and privacy settings increasingly break. For any brand spending seriously on Meta, I recommend it.
How fast should leads be followed up?
As fast as possible. I set up instant SMS and email replies so a new lead hears from you within minutes, then hands over to your team.
What is full-funnel tracking?
Following each customer from the first ad click to the sale, so you can see cost per lead, cost per booking and cost per customer by channel, not just clicks and form fills.
Is GoHighLevel required?
No. It's what I use most for follow-up automation, but I can connect tracking and offline conversions to most CRMs that record lead stages.
