How an ecommerce brand fixed conversion tracking before scaling

A pet-supplements brand planned to increase Google Ads spend from $28K to $45K/month based on a reported 3.6x ROAS. Magnify found the measurement layer was overstating performance. Leadership had already approved a major budget increase based on a reported 3.6x ROAS. Before scaling, the operator ran Magnify's audit as a measurement sanity check. The account failed multiple tracking-integrity checks. Magnify reviews tracking before profit optimization because bidding and profitability conclusions are only as trustworthy as the conversion evidence behind them. After fixing the primary-goal setup and duplicate purchase event, reported conversions fell 22%; the real ROAS baseline was closer to 2.8x than 3.6x. The brand scaled 36% instead of the planned 61% on a measurement foundation that held, avoiding an estimated $60,000+ in spend that would have chased an overstated ROAS. All accounts are anonymized.
