Every channel is hitting its target. The business is not.
When each supplier reports against its own metric, everyone can succeed while revenue stalls. We reconcile every channel against one number — booked revenue — and manage the mix on contribution.
- Priced on scope, never a percentage of your ad spend
- One reconciled model across every channel you run
- Works alongside your existing suppliers, not instead of them
Five channels, five dashboards, five different versions of the truth
Your paid social agency reports platform ROAS. Your search agency reports conversions from Google Ads. Your SEO supplier reports rankings and organic sessions. Email reports its own attributed revenue. Add them up and the total substantially exceeds what you actually booked, because each is claiming the same customers inside its own attribution model with no visibility of the others. Nobody is being dishonest — each is answering the only question it can see. But it means the most important decision you make, which is how to divide the budget between them, is the one decision none of these reports can inform. And because every supplier's report shows success, there is no natural mechanism by which the problem ever surfaces.
Platform-reported conversions versus booked revenue. Four advertising channels each report a share of the same conversions — Meta, Google, LinkedIn and YouTube. Because each measures inside its own attribution window with no visibility of the others, their combined claimed total is larger than the revenue actually recorded in the ledger.
Symptoms, causes and what they cost
Every supplier reports success and growth is flat
Why it happens: Each channel is measured against a metric it controls, inside its own attribution window. Overlapping credit means the sum of the parts exceeds the whole.
What it costs: You cannot tell which channel to fund, so budget is allocated by inertia or by whoever presents most persuasively.
Paid and organic are managed as if they are unrelated
Why it happens: Different suppliers, different reports, no shared view of the query landscape — so paid bids on terms already ranking well while genuine gaps go unfunded.
What it costs: You buy traffic you were getting free, and leave the gaps that actually needed paid coverage uncovered.
Nobody owns the number
Why it happens: Each supplier owns a channel. No one owns the blended economics, so no one is accountable when the channels are individually fine and the whole is not.
What it costs: Problems that live between channels — the majority of them — go unowned until they show up in a board pack.
Reporting takes a week and still cannot be trusted
Why it happens: Manual consolidation across platforms with different definitions, windows and refresh cycles, reconciled to nothing.
What it costs: Senior time is spent assembling numbers rather than acting on them, and decisions lag the market.
Where growth is normally stuck
- No reconciliation between platform-reported revenue and what finance actually booked
- Attribution windows differing per channel and never normalised, so comparisons are meaningless
- Paid and organic search managed without a shared view of the query landscape
- Channel-level metrics with no blended contribution model above them
- Client-side-only measurement, losing the signal browser restrictions remove
- Email and retention revenue counted alongside acquisition, flattering blended performance
- No single owner of the number, so cross-channel problems have no home
Conversion signal loss between the browser and the ad platform. Conversions fall at each stage of browser-side collection: tracking prevention and consent choices remove roughly a third, and further loss occurs before the event reaches the ad platform. A final bar shows the larger share that survives when events are also sent server-side.

Our services
Measurement first
Nothing downstream is trustworthy until this is right. We start here on almost every engagement, because optimising against numbers that do not reconcile just reaches the wrong destination faster.
- Server-side Conversions API
- Google Enhanced Conversions
- Analytics & technical telemetry
- Attribution audits
Channel management
Where we are the right operator we run the channel; where you already have someone good, we hold them to the same reconciled model instead.
Conversion & retention
Where the funnel rather than the ad is the binding constraint, more traffic makes the problem more expensive rather than smaller.
What we actually do across a digital mix
We build the layer above your channels — one reconciled model — and then either manage the mix against it or hand it to your existing suppliers to be held to. Both are legitimate outcomes.
- Reconcile every channel against booked revenue so you have one number instead of five competing ones
- Normalise attribution windows and definitions so channel comparisons actually mean something
- Rebuild the measurement layer server-side, once, for every channel rather than per supplier
- Model fully-loaded CAC, contribution and payback by channel and cohort
- Coordinate paid and organic search around one query landscape rather than two disconnected plans
- Separate acquisition from retention revenue so blended performance stops being flattered
- Run the channels where we are the right operator, and hold your other suppliers to the same model
How it runs
The engagement sequence, phase by phase. Four sequential phases, beginning with diagnosis and measurement before any campaign changes are made.
Days 1–10 — Build one number from many
Read-only access to every channel, analytics and your ledger. We rebuild reporting on a single reconciled basis and quantify the gap between the sum of supplier reports and actual booked revenue. That gap is usually the conversation.
Weeks 2–4 — Fix measurement once, for everything
Server-side collection, consistent event definitions and normalised attribution across channels — built once at the business level rather than repeatedly and incompatibly by each supplier.
Weeks 4–8 — Reallocate on contribution
Budget redistributed on reconciled contribution rather than channel-reported returns, paid and organic coordinated around one query landscape, and the post-click experience addressed where it is the shared constraint.
Ongoing — Own the blended number
Weekly against blended CAC, contribution and payback. Suppliers keep their channels; the blended model is the thing everyone is held to, including us.
Why we will happily keep your existing suppliers
Most agencies answer a fragmentation problem by proposing to take over every channel. Sometimes that is right; often it just replaces five specialists with one generalist and calls the resulting simplicity an improvement. The actual problem is that nobody owns the layer above the channels. That layer can be built without disturbing suppliers who are performing, and a good specialist usually welcomes being measured on contribution — it is the ones reliant on flattering attribution who object. We would rather build you the model and let it decide who stays.
What you get out of it
One number everyone is held to
Including us. Reconciled contribution replaces five incompatible dashboards as the basis for every budget decision.
Budget moves to what actually works
Reconciliation typically changes allocation materially, because channels flattered by overlapping credit stop being funded on that basis.
Paid stops buying what organic already earns
One query landscape across both means paid covers genuine gaps rather than competing with your own rankings.
Reporting takes minutes, not a week
One model, consistently defined, so senior time goes to decisions instead of spreadsheet reconciliation.
Cumulative contribution against customer acquisition cost over twelve months. Contribution accumulates month by month as a rising line, while acquisition cost is a flat line paid up front. The two cross once cumulative contribution overtakes acquisition cost. The shaded area before that crossing is the payback period, during which capital is committed.

This is for you if
- You run several channels and the reports do not add up to your revenue
- Multiple suppliers each report success while blended growth is flat
- Nobody in the business owns the blended acquisition number
- Paid and organic are managed by different people who never speak
- You need one model your board and your suppliers can both work from
Do not hire us if
- You run a single channel. The coordination problem this page describes does not apply, and a specialist engagement will serve you better — see our performance marketing or platform-specific pages.
- You want brand strategy, positioning or creative production as the primary deliverable. That is genuinely not what we do, and we would be learning on your budget.
- You want one supplier to take over everything and report a single ROAS. That is the arrangement that created the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a digital marketing agency and a performance marketing agency?
- In practice the labels overlap and many firms use them interchangeably. The useful distinction is scope and accountability. A digital engagement usually spans several channels including organic and email; a performance engagement is narrower and accountable to cost per acquired customer. We work either way — the constant is that the reporting reconciles to booked revenue rather than to platform dashboards.
- Do we have to replace our existing agencies?
- No, and often you should not. The gap in most multi-channel setups is the layer above the channels, not the channels themselves. We can build the reconciled model and let your existing suppliers be measured against it. Good specialists tend to welcome that; the ones who object are usually the ones benefiting from overlapping attribution.
- Why do our channel reports add up to more revenue than we booked?
- Because each platform counts conversions it believes it influenced, inside its own window, with no knowledge of the others. One customer who saw a Meta ad, clicked a Google ad and opened an email can appear in three reports. Summing them is not a mistake anyone made deliberately, but the total is not a real number.
- Do you do SEO and content as well as paid?
- We coordinate paid and organic around one query landscape and treat AI search visibility as part of that, because buyers increasingly ask assistants rather than search engines. Where deep technical SEO or large-scale content production is the constraint we will say so and scope accordingly rather than claim capability we would be building on your budget.
- How long before the reconciled model is usable?
- The first version usually exists within ten working days, because it uses data you already have. It gets more reliable over the following month as server-side collection and consistent definitions land. The initial reconciliation is often the most valuable output — it is where the gap between reported and booked revenue becomes visible.
- Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?
- No. That model pays the agency more when your budget grows, whether or not the growth was profitable, and it makes recommending a spend reduction structurally irrational. We price on the scope of the work: $2,500 for a diagnostic audit, $4,500–$5,500 for a build sprint, $6,500–$8,500 per month for a retainer.
- Do you work with companies outside India?
- Yes. We are based in Bengaluru and work with companies across the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland. Engagements run remotely with working hours overlapping your timezone.
- Who owns the tracking setup and models when we stop working together?
- You do, entirely. Everything is built in your accounts under your credentials — server-side tracking configuration, unit-economics models, dashboards, playbooks. We do not hold code or withhold access at the end of an engagement.
- Why can we not see your client names?
- Our clients are under NDA, so engagements are described by sector and situation rather than named. We would rather show you a real result with the name withheld than a named logo we cannot substantiate, and we will walk you through the methodology and the measurement on a call.
How we work
- Priced on scope, never as a percentage of your ad spend
- Every model, script, tracking configuration and dashboard stays in your accounts
- Client names withheld under NDA — methodology walked through on a call
- Senior operators on the account, not a junior team learning on your budget
- We will tell you when the constraint is somewhere we are not
