What they are known for

Samuel Adeitan writes about digital and performance marketing, focusing on how to make advertising data useful beyond the ad platform.

  • His posts explain how tracking, lead qualification and CRM feedback shape campaign decisions, alongside advice on ecommerce websites and agency workflows.
  • Marketers looking to connect ad spend to sales outcomes can start with his posts on B2B lead quality and Shopify versus WordPress.

Adeitan’s recurring point is that ad platforms learn from the signals businesses send—and raw form fills or reported return on ad spend can mislead when disconnected from qualified leads, sales and profit.

  • One post traces how a prospect’s ad click can disappear from attribution before a later form submission, then explains how to preserve click identifiers across sessions (tracking long consideration cycles).
  • Another argues for sending qualified CRM milestones back to ad platforms instead of counting every form fill as a success (optimizing for qualified leads).
  • He applies the same logic to timing: delayed offline-conversion data gives campaigns stale feedback (conversion data delays).
  • His practical advice also covers website platforms, comparing their ecommerce readiness and customization, and when task-based automation costs may become a problem as agency workflows grow (agency workflow costs).

Ideas and priorities

Samuel Adeitan’s posts keep returning to one question: is the system measuring what the business actually earns?

Read more

In their telling, ad platforms and the agencies running them optimize for whatever event they’re told counts as success, so cheap leads and impressive dashboard returns can hide campaigns that never produce paying customers.

  • Adeitan argues the fix is not better creative but better plumbing: capture click identifiers before they expire, store them somewhere first-party, send real qualification and revenue signals back to the platforms quickly, and audit the whole chain before scaling spend.
  • They extend the same reasoning to the infrastructure moving the data, arguing that agencies running high-volume pipelines on per-task automation pay a penalty for growing.
  • The posts range from detailed technical explanations of tracking and data loops to shorter advisory notes on broader marketing and website choices.

Ad platforms find exactly the customers you ask them to find

Adeitan argues that advertising algorithms optimize for the finish line they’re given, and many brands hand them the wrong one.

Read more

Track a form fill and the platform finds people who fill in forms; track a short call and it finds people willing to sit on hold.

  • Falling cost per lead and rising lead volume can describe a campaign getting worse, as sales rejects most of what arrives.
  • Adeitan treats clicks, form submissions, and calls as intermediate steps, not revenue, and says campaigns should be judged on whether they produce qualified pipeline and collected money.

Adeitan frames the trade-off as an equation: a campaign that cuts cost per lead by 30% while close rates fall by 50% has not won; it has taught the algorithm to buy junk more efficiently. In a B2B post, they put it more bluntly: optimizing Google Ads or LinkedIn Ads for raw form fills finds “not buyers, just people who love submitting forms.”

Close the data loop: send qualification and revenue back to the platform

Adeitan’s remedy is to close the backend loop.

Read more

Ad networks cannot know what a good customer looks like unless the business tells them.

  • Capture click identifiers when a form is submitted, attach them to the lead record in the CRM, then send verified milestones — a sales-qualified lead, a booked consult, a closed deal — back to Google or LinkedIn as offline conversions.
  • Adeitan argues that spend shifts toward accounts that actually buy when the bidding engine receives pipeline data instead of raw submissions.

Adeitan names the identifiers to capture at form submission — GCLID for Google and li_fat_id for LinkedIn — and the events to send back: SQL, scheduled consult, or closed deal. They sum up the idea this way: Smart Bidding cannot know what a good customer looks like until the backend tells it.

Attribution has to survive the gap between click and conversion

Adeitan’s most detailed failure case concerns long consideration cycles.

Read more

Privacy settings such as Safari ITP limit how long a tracking cookie lives, so a prospect who clicks an ad on Monday and returns through a direct bookmark to submit a form on Thursday can arrive with no attribution.

  • To the media buyer, it looks like a cold direct visit; to the ad platform, the conversion never happened, so the bidding model gets no signal.
  • Adeitan calls asking buyers how they heard about the company guesswork, not attribution.
  • They propose storing click IDs and traffic parameters in first-party HttpOnly cookies or a server-side store at the first landing hit, carrying them across sessions, and injecting them into hidden form fields or webhook payloads when the conversion happens.

Adeitan’s worked example: a prospect clicks a Google or Meta ad on Monday, returns three days later, and submits a form on Thursday. The original GCLID or FBCLID has expired, the form submits with blank parameters, and the CRM records a lead with zero attribution while Smart Bidding learns nothing.

Read original

Late conversion feedback is worse than useless

Adeitan treats feedback speed as a separate problem from whether the loop exists.

Read more

Bidding models make auction decisions in milliseconds, so data that reaches the platform two weeks later describes a market that has moved on.

  • By then, the budget has already gone to impressions chosen with incomplete signals.
  • Adeitan contrasts manual CSV uploads every fortnight or month with real-time webhook pipelines from the CRM.
  • Tracking offline conversions and trickling them back slowly, they argue, gives the appearance of measurement without improving what the algorithm buys next.

Adeitan contrasts the two approaches: manual uploads tell you what happened last month, while real-time webhook pipelines teach the algorithm what to buy tomorrow. The questions they ask the platform while waiting — did the lead answer the phone, was the budget qualified, did they book — are the same milestones they want fed back automatically.

Audit tracking before scaling the budget, and judge it on net margin

Adeitan’s pre-holiday argument is that default pixel settings let platforms take the path of least resistance: chase existing customers and brand searchers who would have bought anyway, claim full credit for multi-touch purchases, and optimize for top-line revenue rather than net margin.

Read more

Reported returns and real profit then diverge. Adeitan recommends auditing three technical layers before increasing spend: deduplicate browser and server events so purchases are not counted twice; pass new-versus-returning customer signals so bidding targets net-new buyers; and reconcile settled store orders against ad platform click data to confirm cash collected.

Adeitan describes a recurring November pattern: Meta Ads Manager reports a 5x or 8x ROAS, the media buyer scales the daily budget, and the dashboard looks like a win.

  • Then the brand owner checks the bank account and Shopify net profit and finds they barely broke even.
  • Adeitan says the agency gets blamed for bad traffic when the fault is signal quality.

Read original

Agency data pipelines should not be billed by the task

Adeitan extends the measurement argument to infrastructure.

Read more

They frame the real cost of scaling an agency as per-task automation, not software licences: every filtering, formatting, checking, or routing step in a Zapier or Make flow is a billed operation.

  • A bulk import or outbound surge can burn through an account’s quota in hours and freeze operations until the business buys an enterprise plan.
  • Adeitan recommends self-hosting the automation engine — n8n on a dedicated server or container — and using lightweight scripts for routine string and deduplication work, with a local queue in front of volume spikes so downstream API rate limits hold.

Adeitan walks through a six-step client sync that looks routine until a 20,000-record CSV import burns 120,000 tasks in hours and hits a hard quota wall. They compare that setup, costing roughly $800 a month on task-based software, with one running on a $20 server without task caps.

The wider advisory side: platform and budget choices

Adeitan also writes for founders, freelancers, and small businesses about platform and budget decisions.

Read more

They position Shopify as an all-in-one ecommerce build and WordPress as the more customizable option for content-led brands, and say they advise clients based on their goals and technical capacity.

  • Another post promises a roundup of common mistakes across Meta Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and Shopify builds.
  • These pieces show who Adeitan writes for and how they frame early decisions; ask for a worked example if you need to assess how they apply that advice.

In a Shopify-versus-WordPress post, Adeitan briefly compares the two platforms and invites readers to send their niche for a recommendation, without offering a decision checklist or a worked client example.

Start with their work

Before Black Friday: three tracking audits that decide whether a 5x ROAS is real

It answers the question brands and agencies actually ask in November: why does the ad platform report a strong return while the client's profit barely moves?

Read more

This is the most complete worked example in the set: it names the failure, explains the mechanism, and ends with three checks a tracking engineer could start on tomorrow.

Adeitan describes a pattern they say performance agencies see each November: Meta Ads Manager reports a 5x or 8x ROAS, the media buyer scales the daily budget, and the dashboard looks like a win — until the brand owner checks the bank account and Shopify net profit and finds they barely broke even.

  • The explanation: default browser-pixel settings let the platform take the path of least resistance.
  • It hunts existing customers and brand searchers who would have bought anyway, claims full credit for multi-touch purchases, and optimizes for top-line revenue rather than net margin, pushing discounted low-margin inventory.
  • The agency then gets blamed for "bad traffic" when the real fault is signal quality.
  • Before scaling into Q4, Adeitan recommends auditing three technical layers: CAPI deduplication, so browser and server events share identical event IDs and purchases are never counted twice; passing new-versus-returning customer tags through the server-side payload so bidding optimizes for net-new buyers; and reconciling settled Shopify orders against ad platform click data to confirm cash actually collected.

For brands planning a campaign

For an ecommerce client, this is the strongest evidence that Adeitan treats attribution as a plumbing problem with testable checkpoints, not a dashboard argument.

  • The three audits form a scoping list: deduplication, acquisition signals, and order reconciliation.
  • The net-margin framing also gives a brand a way to judge paid spend that platform-reported ROAS cannot.

Attribution that survives a three-day gap between click and form fill

It explains what happens to the tracking trail between the ad click and the conversion — the exact gap a marketer needs to understand.

Read more

To see how Adeitan approaches server-side tracking in practice, start here.

Adeitan walks through a specific failure: a prospect clicks a Google or Meta ad on Monday, fills out the form on Thursday, and the CRM records the lead with zero attribution.

  • Safari ITP or browser privacy settings cap the tracking cookie's lifespan; when the prospect returns three days later through a direct bookmark, the original GCLID or FBCLID is gone, so the form is submitted with blank parameters.
  • To the media buyer it looks like a cold direct visit; to the ad platform the conversion never happened, and Smart Bidding gets no signal to find similar people.
  • Adeitan rejects the common workaround — asking sales to prompt "how did you hear about us?" — as guesswork rather than attribution.
  • The production fix is server-side session persistence: store click IDs and traffic parameters in first-party HttpOnly cookies or a server-side database at the first landing-page hit, carry those identifiers across multiple sessions, and inject them into hidden form fields or webhook payloads when the conversion happens.

For brands planning a campaign

This is the clearest fit for a client with a long consideration cycle, where paid pipeline is quietly being booked as "Direct" traffic. It also gives a concrete implementation pattern — first-party storage plus injection at conversion — to compare against whatever the client already runs.

Why cheap form fills wreck B2B accounts, and what to send back to the platform

It explains why cost per lead falls while sales rejects most leads, and names the specific identifiers to capture at form submission.

Read more

That makes it a practical starting point for anyone assessing B2B paid-media work.

Adeitan argues that optimizing Google Ads or LinkedIn Ads for raw form fills leads the algorithm to find the cheapest form fillers on the internet — "not buyers, just people who love submitting forms."

  • The result: front-end metrics look healthy as CPL drops and volume climbs, while sales complains that most leads are out of area, underfunded, or unqualified.
  • The platform keeps pouring budget into the campaigns producing them because every form fill was marked a success.
  • The answer is not new ad copy or headline testing but closing the backend data loop: capture click IDs such as GCLID and li_fat_id in hidden fields at submission, store those identifiers alongside the lead record in the CRM, and pipe verified qualification milestones — SQL, scheduled consult, or closed deal — back to the ad networks through offline conversion feeds.
  • As Adeitan puts it, Smart Bidding does not know what a good customer looks like until your backend tells it.

For brands planning a campaign

Useful for B2B and high-ticket service accounts, where the gap between lead volume and closed revenue is the main complaint.

  • It shows platform-specific knowledge — Google and LinkedIn click IDs, offline conversion feeds — rather than a generic "improve lead quality" line.
  • The milestones Adeitan lists can also become a client reporting requirement.

The hidden cost of running agency data pipelines on per-task platforms

It explains what breaks in agency operations as client volume grows and makes a concrete stack decision rather than a general argument about scaling.

Read more

Start here for the data-engineering side of Adeitan's work.

Adeitan says the hidden tax of scaling an agency is not software licenses but the cost of running basic data tasks on pay-per-task platforms.

  • The trap unfolds in steps: a client needs a continuous lead-enrichment or sync pipeline; the team builds a six-step Zapier or Make flow; every step — filtering, formatting strings, checking an email, routing to a CRM — counts as a paid operation; an outbound surge or bulk CSV import hits 20,000 records; and within hours 120,000 tasks are burned, the account hits a hard quota wall, and operations freeze until an enterprise upgrade is paid.
  • These platforms are fine for prototyping and terrible for high-volume loops.
  • The production alternative is self-hosting an automation engine such as n8n on a dedicated VPS or Docker container, using lightweight Python scripts for string splits, deduplication, and regex instead of billed steps, and setting up a local Redis or database queue so spikes are processed steadily without hitting downstream API rate limits.
  • Adeitan claims the same automation that costs $800 a month on task-based SaaS runs on a $20 server with no task caps.

For brands planning a campaign

Relevant when an ecommerce or agency client's lead routing and enrichment rely on meter-billed automation that stalls under load. The post shows Adeitan can reason about queueing and rate limits, not just ad platforms — useful for clients whose needs include server-side data pipelines.

Offline conversion data that arrives two weeks late is teaching the algorithm the past

It answers how fast conversion data needs to travel back to the ad platform — the timing question that determines whether offline conversion reporting helps or misleads.

Read more

It is short and pairs well with the post on feeding CRM milestones back to Google and LinkedIn.

The post opens with a two-week lag: if offline conversion data arrives that late, the ad algorithm is optimizing on ancient history.

  • Adeitan points out that Smart Bidding models make auction decisions in milliseconds, so when a campaign drives a lead today, the machine needs to know quickly whether that lead answered the phone, was budget-qualified, and booked an appointment.
  • They contrast the common agency practice of manual CSV uploads every two weeks or once a month with real-time webhook pipelines.
  • By the time the platform learns which clicks became paying clients, they argue, the budget has already been spent on thousands of low-quality impressions.
  • The closing line contrasts the approaches: manual uploads tell you what happened last month; real-time webhooks teach the algorithm what to buy tomorrow.

For brands planning a campaign

This is the timing argument to bring into a client conversation about offline conversion tracking. If a brand already sends CRM outcomes back to the platform, the question is how long that trip takes — and whether the delay undermines the bidding it is meant to improve.

Record-low cost per lead is not a win

It makes the basic argument in Adeitan's work — what is wrong with chasing cheap leads — in a few paragraphs, without implementation detail.

Read more

Read this first for the argument before the technical posts.

Adeitan says that if your ad platform is celebrating a record-low cost per lead, check the CRM before celebrating.

  • Ad algorithms optimize for exactly the finish line you give them: ask for form fills and Meta finds people who love filling out forms; ask for 60-second calls and Google finds people willing to sit on hold; ask for top-of-funnel volume and the auction delivers cheap unqualified traffic.
  • None of those events, Adeitan writes, represent cash collected.
  • They put the trade-off plainly: a campaign that cuts CPL by 30% while sales close rates fall by 50% is not winning; it is teaching the algorithm to buy junk more efficiently.
  • The remedy is the same loop Adeitan repeats elsewhere — feed qualified pipeline stages and collected revenue back through clean server-side pipelines so the algorithm learns what revenue looks like.

For brands planning a campaign

A useful framing question for any brief: which event is the account actually optimizing toward, and does it correspond to money collected? It sets up the more technical posts.

Shopify or WordPress: advising clients on ecommerce platform choice

The post explains what Adeitan says about ecommerce website platforms, which provides context for their tracking work: the store, its checkout, and its order data are where the conversions they write about are recorded.

Read more

Read it for context on the wider range of their advice.

This is a short advisory post, not a technical breakdown.

  • Adeitan frames the choice businesses face when launching a website: Shopify is an all-in-one platform built for ecommerce, while WordPress is highly customizable and suited to content-driven brands.
  • As someone who designs for both, they say they advise clients based on their business goals and technical capacity, and invite readers to message them their niche or comment for help choosing.
  • Before hiring, ask what criteria they use to weigh goals against technical capacity.

This shows ecommerce site design alongside Adeitan's performance-marketing and tracking posts, a relevant combination if a client needs both a store build and its measurement setup.

Topics and approach

Tracking audits before peak ad spend

Samuel Adeitan argues that client tracking must be locked down before Q4 scaling or holiday ad spend will erode margin.

Read more

The post describes a pattern performance agencies see every November: Meta Ads Manager reports 5x or 8x ROAS, the media buyer scales the daily budget, and the brand owner finds that net profit in Shopify and the bank account is close to break-even.

  • They trace the gap to default browser pixel settings, which credit existing customers and brand searchers who would have bought anyway, claim full credit for multi-touch purchases, and optimize for top-line revenue instead of net margin.
  • The proposed audit covers three layers: CAPI deduplication so browser and server events share identical event IDs; passing new-versus-returning acquisition tags through the server-side payload so bidding targets net-new buyers; and matching settled Shopify orders against ad platform click data to confirm cash collected.

Three-layer pre-holiday audit: CAPI event-ID deduplication, server-side new-versus-returning signals, and offline order reconciliation against settled store orders.

For brands planning a campaign

For an ecommerce client heading into a high-spend season, this makes the case for hiring Samuel Adeitan to audit tracking and measurement before increasing budget, rather than commissioning more creative or headline tests.

Examples: Source 1

Lead quality versus cost per lead

Across two posts, Samuel Adeitan makes the same argument: ad algorithms optimize for the finish line they are given.

Read more

Ask for form fills and Meta finds people who like filling in forms; ask for 60-second calls and Google finds people willing to sit on hold; ask for top-of-funnel volume and the auction delivers cheap, unqualified traffic.

  • They describe a pattern in which cost per lead falls and volume climbs while sales report that most leads are out of area, underfunded, or unqualified.
  • The platform keeps pouring budget into campaigns producing that junk because every form fill was counted as a success.
  • The stated fix is a closed backend loop: capture click identifiers such as GCLID and li_fat_id in hidden fields at form submission, store them with the lead record in the CRM, and feed verified qualification milestones (SQL, scheduled consult, or closed deal) back into the ad networks through offline conversion feeds.

Click-ID capture in hidden form fields, click IDs stored on CRM lead records, and qualification or revenue milestones returned to Google and LinkedIn as offline conversion feeds.

For brands planning a campaign

A B2B or high-ticket service brand can engage Samuel Adeitan to instrument qualification stages and feed them back to ad platforms, rather than judging campaigns on raw form-fill volume.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Speed of offline conversion feedback

Samuel Adeitan argues that manual offline conversion uploads on a two-week or monthly cycle leave Smart Bidding optimizing on old information.

Read more

The post lays out the sequence: the model makes auction decisions in milliseconds, a campaign drives a lead today, but the platform learns weeks later whether that lead answered the phone, was budget-qualified, or booked an appointment.

  • By then, the budget has been spent on impressions chosen from incomplete signals.
  • They contrast manual CSV uploads, which describe last month, with real-time webhook pipelines that teach the algorithm what to buy tomorrow.
  • The post closes by asking how fast closed revenue travels from a CRM back into ad accounts.

Real-time webhook pipelines replacing manual CSV offline conversion uploads so CRM outcomes reach the ad platform quickly.

For brands planning a campaign

For a campaign involving long sales cycles or delayed CRM data, Samuel Adeitan's framing offers a concrete evaluation criterion: the latency and reliability of the CRM-to-ad-platform feedback path, not merely whether offline conversions are tracked.

Examples: Source 1

Attribution that survives long consideration cycles

Samuel Adeitan describes a common failure in long consideration cycles: a prospect clicks an ad on Monday, returns days later through a direct bookmark, and submits a form on Thursday, but the CRM records the lead with blank attribution.

Read more

Privacy settings such as Safari ITP cap tracking cookie lifespan, so the original GCLID or FBCLID is gone by the time the form is submitted; the media buyer sees a cold direct visit, and the ad platform sees no conversion to learn from. They reject asking buyers "how did you hear about us?" on the sales call as guesswork and propose first-party persistence instead: store click IDs and traffic parameters in first-party HttpOnly cookies or a server-side database at the first landing-page hit, carry those identifiers across sessions, and inject them into hidden form fields or webhook payloads when the conversion happens.

First-party HttpOnly cookies or a server-side store retaining click IDs and traffic parameters from the first landing hit, carried across sessions and injected into form or webhook payloads at conversion.

Agency automation and middleware economics

Samuel Adeitan frames the hidden cost of scaling an agency as pay-per-task automation rather than software licences.

Read more

The post outlines a trap: a client needs a continuous lead enrichment or sync pipeline, the team builds a six-step Zapier or Make flow, and each filtering, formatting, checking, or routing step is a billed operation.

  • An outbound surge or bulk CSV import of 20,000 records can burn 120,000 tasks in hours, hit a hard quota wall, and freeze operations until an enterprise upgrade is paid.
  • The recommendation is to self-host the workflow engine, for example n8n on a dedicated VPS or Docker container; use lightweight Python scripts for string splitting, deduplication, and regex instead of billed steps; and put a local Redis or database queue in front of sudden spikes so downstream API rate limits are respected.
  • They claim the same workflow that costs around $800 a month on task-based software runs on a $20 server without task caps.

Self-hosted n8n on a VPS or Docker, Python scripts for data transformation, and Redis or database queues to absorb volume spikes.

For brands planning a campaign

A brand or agency with high-volume lead enrichment or CRM sync work can evaluate Samuel Adeitan on moving that plumbing from task-billed SaaS to self-hosted infrastructure, with cost per volume as the stated trade-off.

Choosing an ecommerce platform

In a shorter post, Samuel Adeitan presents the Shopify versus WordPress decision as one every business faces at launch: Shopify is all-in-one and built for ecommerce, while WordPress is highly customizable and suited to content-driven brands.

Read more

They say they design for both and advise clients based on business goals and technical capacity, then invite readers to send a niche or comment for a recommendation.

Before hiring, ask for technical comparison criteria and migration guidance; the brief posts and direct-message prompt show how Samuel Adeitan frames the platform question, but not those details.

For brands planning a campaign

This is consulting-style problem framing rather than ad-tech execution. It may suit a brief involving an early web platform or storefront decision alongside performance work.

Examples: Source 1

Broad budget-waste roundups

Samuel Adeitan also writes accessible listicle-style education aimed at founders, freelancers, and marketers.

Read more

One post promises a breakdown of eight common mistakes seen across Meta Ads, Google Ads, SEO and Shopify builds, and asks readers which one they are guilty of.

Because the retrieved text does not contain the eight items themselves, this post demonstrates the format and audience Samuel Adeitan writes for, not the depth of the underlying advice.

For brands planning a campaign

This points to a top-of-funnel content style a brand could use for awareness campaigns, but it is weaker evidence than the tracking posts when judging technical consulting ability.

  • The proposed fix is to store click IDs and traffic parameters in first-party HttpOnly cookies or a server-side store at the first landing hit, carry them across sessions, and inject them into hidden form fields or webhook payloads at conversion.
  • Two further posts cover the same ground for B2B and high-ticket accounts, naming GCLID and li_fat_id capture, CRM storage, and the return of qualified milestones such as SQL, scheduled consult, or closed deal through offline conversion feeds.
  • A short post adds the timing requirement: manual CSV uploads on a two-week cycle leave the bidding model working from old information, while real-time webhook pipelines return outcomes while the budget can still respond.
  • This fits because the writing frames the work as diagnosing and repairing a client’s existing stack, matching a consulting engagement where the agency already runs accounts.
  • It is platform-specific (Meta, Google, LinkedIn), names testable checkpoints an engineer could start on, and focuses on net margin rather than platform-reported ROAS.
  • Adjacent posts on self-hosted data pipelines are relevant if the agency needs lead-enrichment and CRM-sync plumbing to feed the conversion loop; they address quota walls, queueing, and rate limits rather than advertising.
  • Before hiring, ask for evidence of completed client engagements, named references or case studies with measured results, and any relevant credentials or employer history; the posts provide none and read as practitioner commentary.
  • Also ask about experience with server-side Google Tag Manager, consent-mode handling, and specific platform APIs beyond the identifiers and pipeline patterns named.
  • The account has a LinkedIn following of 347, which does not establish delivery capacity.
  • Ask directly about rates, scope, and contracting arrangements; the posts publish none.

When to choose a specialist

Need two: a consumer brand wants a paid creator partnership—sponsored posts driving reach and awareness to a broad audience, distributed mainly through the creator’s own channels.

This is a poor fit based on Samuel Adeitan’s posts, because they document neither partnership offers nor the audience data a reach-led campaign needs.

  • Across the eight posts there is no sponsorship disclosure, media kit, rate card, partnership page, published terms, or verified brand-inquiry route.
  • The closest thing to an invitation is an offer in one post for readers to send a direct message about choosing between Shopify and WordPress, and in another to say which campaign mistake they are making.
  • These are consulting-style conversation starters, not stated deliverables.
  • A brand cannot plan a paid collaboration around a format that has not been described.
  • The one measured audience figure is a LinkedIn following of 347, observed 9 October 2026.
  • No impressions, engagement counts, comment samples, geography, age, gender, job function, employer, or seniority data are published for any post.
  • The posts address agency owners, media buyers, founders, and ecommerce operators working on paid ads, tracking, and CRM data, but that describes the subject matter, not the audience composition.
  • The content offers working advice rather than creator-style material.
  • The posts read as client-facing commentary and technical explanation.
  • A sponsored campaign seeking lifestyle demonstrations, product-in-use footage, or entertainment-led reach has little to build on: no video, transcript, short-form format information, or product-category partnerships are described.
  • The posts may support a different kind of engagement with a marketing-technology or agency-tools business—technical co-marketing, a guest explainer, or consulting on a tracking problem—because that is the work they demonstrate.
  • The paid-reach creator campaign, not the person, is unsupported.
  • Before treating reach, engagement, or sponsorship terms as settled, ask for recent post-level metrics, commenter roles, platform demographic data, and details of any prior sponsored work with disclosure.
A worked campaign example

Worked campaign angle, based on need one. Treat this as a scope outline a hiring agency could put in front of Samuel Adeitan, not as a description of work already delivered.

The agency’s need: an agency running paid media for several ecommerce clients has two symptoms going into a high-spend quarter. Ad platforms report strong returns while client profit barely moves, and a meaningful share of paid pipeline is logged as direct traffic because long consideration cycles break the tracking trail between click and form fill.

The angle: commission a fixed-scope tracking and offline conversion audit rather than more creative or headline testing. The posts suggest reported returns and real returns diverge because of signal quality, not traffic quality.

Step one: reproduce the failure on one client account.

  • Pull a recent month and compare platform-reported ROAS against settled order and net-margin data.
  • Then identify how much credited revenue came from existing customers and brand searchers who would have converted anyway.
  • This follows the post’s claim that default browser-pixel settings let the platform claim full credit for multi-touch purchases and optimize for top-line revenue over net margin.

Step two: audit the three layers named in that post: CAPI deduplication, so browser and server events share identical event IDs and purchases are not counted twice; pass-through of new-versus-returning customer tags in the server-side payload so bidding favors net-new buyers; and reconciliation of settled orders against ad platform click data to verify collected cash.

Step three: close the attribution gap on the long-cycle client.

  • Store click IDs and traffic parameters in first-party HttpOnly cookies or a server-side database at the first landing-page hit, carry the identifiers across sessions, and inject them into hidden form fields or webhook payloads when the form is submitted.
  • This is the fix described for the Monday-click, Thursday-form scenario, where Safari ITP or privacy settings have already dropped the cookie.
  • For any B2B or high-ticket account in the portfolio, extend the same instrumentation to GCLID and li_fat_id capture and the return of qualified milestones through offline conversion feeds.

Step four: set the feedback cadence.

  • Replace or supplement fortnightly manual CSV uploads with webhook pipelines so closed outcomes reach the ad platform while the budget can still act on them, and agree the latency target as a reporting requirement.
  • If the agency’s lead-routing and enrichment steps currently run on per-task automation that stalls under volume, include a self-hosted pipeline review as a second workstream, stating the trade-offs in cost per volume and queue behavior.

What the agency gets: a ranked list of tracking defects per client, a working containment for the long-cycle attribution gap, and a documented loop between CRM outcomes and ad platforms.

  • Before proceeding, ask for measured before-and-after client results, named references, and a fee structure; the posts provide none.
  • Treat them as a description of how Samuel frames and scopes the problem, not proof of past delivery.

Who else to consider

Bivas Kumar Roy

Choose Bivas Kumar Roy when the agency's main symptom is disagreement between ecommerce platforms: Shopify reporting 82 purchases while Meta Ads reports 103, or when a client's purchase count, attribution window, or CAPI deduplication is suspect.

Read more

They approach the comparison as an agency would triage it: first decide whether the issue is tracking, attribution, or both, then audit tracking, deduplication, data quality, consent, and attribution in that order.

  • The posts name checkpoints an engineer can work through — compare attribution windows and click-through versus view-through conversions across Meta, GA4, and Shopify; use identical Event IDs between browser Pixel and server CAPI events; verify deduplication in Events Manager; trigger Purchase from a transaction ID; filter internal, test, gift, and $0 orders; check payment redirects from PayPal or Klarna; and test consent states for EU traffic.
  • That makes them a strong alternative when the work starts from a live purchase-count discrepancy in a Shopify and Meta ecommerce stack, especially in an EU consent context.

The tradeoff is scope.

  • The posts center on Meta, Shopify, Google Ads, GA4, GTM, and Consent Mode V2 measurement discrepancies.
  • They do not show the offline conversion and CRM feedback loop for long B2B or high-ticket consideration cycles: capturing GCLID or li_fat_id, storing it with the lead record, and sending SQL or closed-deal milestones back through offline conversion feeds.
  • They also do not show agency data-pipeline economics or queueing work.
  • If the main need is making ad platform and Shopify numbers agree, Bivas Kumar Roy is a better first call; if it is closing the loop from CRM outcomes back into bidding, the posts say less.

Reeto M.

Choose Reeto M. when the need is not a defect audit but a measured test of a predictive or server-side conversion product against the client's existing setup.

Read more

Their posts describe work at Angler AI with a brand spending seven figures a month across Meta, Google Ads, and affiliate channels, where more than half of daily orders came from returning customers and the goal was to spend on new customers.

  • The posts name the testing approach: a two-cell A/B test running an Angler predictive CAPI side by side with the client's incumbent setup, which may be Elevar, Blotout, Triple Whale Sonar, Shopify, Segment, or a homegrown build; and later, Meta's incremental attribution reporting used to measure incrementality inside that test.
  • They are a better choice when the agency wants to test whether a new CAPI or predictive signal actually improves blended new-customer CAC and marginal new-customer CAC, rather than only fix implementation errors, or when the client wants an incrementality read on 7-day click and view-through conversions.

The tradeoff is independence and breadth.

  • The posts are written from inside a vendor whose predictive CAPI is being compared, so they give a supplier's view of the experiment, not a neutral consulting audit; an agency using this information should expect to run its own control.
  • The posts are also concentrated on ecommerce new-customer acquisition, incrementality testing, and LTV:CAC optimization.
  • They show less on the implementation mechanics of offline conversion feedback for B2B or high-ticket accounts, on session persistence across long consideration cycles, and on Meta versus Shopify purchase-count reconciliation.
  • If the immediate problem is flat platform tracking or missing GCLID persistence, Bivas Kumar Roy or Samuel Adeitan is a closer match based on what the posts show.

Nishant Walchale

Choose Nishant Walchale when the agency needs to address ad-policy risk or Google's first-party data direction alongside tracking repair.

Read more

One post breaks down Meta's Health & Wellness policy update of 26 December 2024 for DTC health, wellness, and cosmetics brands, listing what is restricted, what is allowed with 18+ targeting, and what falls outside scope; it also warns that borderline pixel setup can cause ad rejection or silent learning-phase disruption.

  • The other describes a Google office discussion and Google's push toward first-party data infrastructure, naming Journey-Aware Bidding, Smart Bidding Exploration, and demand-led budget pacing, and recommending that brands own customer data, structure server-side tracking, feed platforms better conversion signals, connect CRM and offline conversions back into ad platforms, and stop relying only on browser-side attribution.
  • That makes them a better fit when an agency needs a category-compliance read for a regulated vertical, or a strategic explanation of where Google's bidding and signal changes are heading that it can use with clients.

The tradeoff is depth of implementation.

  • The posts state the direction and the policy categories but do not show the hands-on repair sequence — shared event IDs and CAPI deduplication, first-party session storage for GCLID or FBCLID across a long consideration cycle, order reconciliation, or the specific webhook and CRM steps needed to return qualified milestones.
  • The Health & Wellness post is a policy summary for one category and date, not a general compliance framework; confirm current policy against Meta's own documentation before relying on it.
  • If the agency needs to diagnose and rebuild broken client tracking, Samuel Adeitan, Bivas Kumar Roy, or Reeto M. offer more directly usable implementation detail in their posts; Nishant Walchale is better as a secondary or policy-and-strategy addition.
