Returns

What is your budget worth? The answer from your own numbers.

Ad spend from Google, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn set against first-party-measured revenue — per channel, with a comparison to the previous period. Calls and bookings run in the same funnel.

Not an estimate from a platform's UI, but your own number.

The returns dashboard

From click to booked revenue.

Every captured conversion, call and order value fed back later flows into a live dashboard that sets your ad spend against first-party-measured revenue — per channel, with a comparison to the previous period.

  • Return per channel, not estimated Ad spend from Google, Meta, TikTok & LinkedIn is set against actually measured revenue — including calls and bookings in a blended funnel that no single platform report brings together.
  • “Additionally captured” — the proof in numbers The dashboard breaks out separately how much revenue and how many conversions only became visible through server-side recovery. Your added value in black and white — not as a promise, but as a number.
  • Contribution margin in euros, not just a ratio Next to the return sits what is actually left after ad spend — in euros. A ratio alone does not tell you whether the month carried itself.
  • The live strip: conversions the moment they arrive A live feed runs in the cockpit: every purchase, every call, every booking appears as it happens. No waiting for tomorrow's platform report — you see straight away whether something starts moving after a campaign change, or doesn't.
  • One link for the client A shareable, read-only report without a login — PDF-ready and revocable at any time. The client sees their return without you assembling screenshots every month.

€1,240 of this revenue only became measurable through recovered conversions — without uncoverflow the return would look lower on paper.
Two numbers, kept apart. The value per channel is the true ad return: that channel's spend against the revenue attributed to it. The headline figure across all channels is a blended number — it sets total ad spend against total revenue, organic and returning business included. Both are labeled that way in the dashboard, so nobody mistakes one for the other.
Attribution

Who owns the revenue — and who does not.

A return is only as good as the attribution underneath it. The four places where standard setups lose the channel or overstate it are deliberately solved here.

Payment redirects do not eat the source

A buyer paying through PayPal, Stripe and the like comes back without a click ID and with the payment provider as the referrer. If the conversion fired there, the real source would be lost. Attribution therefore runs on the last real session, not on the session the conversion happened to fire in.

Payment providers and your own domain excluded

Your own store and the known payment providers never count as a referral source. Otherwise the funnel credits itself and every paid click looks worse than it is.

Refunds are netted out

Returns are netted against the original conversion — including at Google, as a partial correction or a full retraction. The refund is credited to the channel of the original purchase, not to the channel active on the refund day. Your ROAS does not celebrate goods that went back long ago.

Foreign-currency accounts in euros

Ad accounts in other currencies are converted using daily ECB rates. That keeps the return comparable across countries and stores instead of drifting with exchange rates.

Cross-checked

We don’t just feed the platforms — we audit their numbers.

Every ad dashboard grades its own homework: Meta counts what Meta credits itself. Because uncoverflow knows every order server-side, we check the platform numbers against the truth daily — in both directions.

Blind despite real sales

Real case: 111 purchases arrived via a Meta click in 30 days, each one verified against the shop — Meta’s dashboard attributed 37 of them. Two thirds of the channel were invisible. Without independent measurement, budget would have been cut in exactly the wrong place.

Generous without a click

The reverse happens too: platforms claim purchases that merely saw an ad — and the same purchase shows up as a win on two platforms at once, via cookie instead of click. Add up the dashboards and you count sales twice. We attribute every purchase exactly once.

Four metrics, every day

The scorecard compares daily what the platform reports with what your shop actually booked: delivery (do our conversions arrive), value accuracy, count accuracy and uptake at Google.

An alarm when a platform overstates

If a platform reports substantially more revenue than your shop booked, the system raises the alarm — an inflated ROAS is the more dangerous direction, because it steers budget into the wrong campaign. Only possible when you see both sides.

Down to profit

It is not the form submission that counts, it is the paid invoice.

A lead is not revenue yet. So the return calculation does not stop at the click on “Send” — it runs on to the amount that actually reaches the bank account.

Invoices and won CRM deals flow back

Paid invoices from accounting and won deals from HubSpot or Pipedrive come back into attribution as real order value — credited to the original ad click. Several invoices for the same customer add up; a correction replaces the earlier value.

The invoice share is broken out

For each channel, the dashboard shows which part of the revenue comes from invoices that were actually collected. So you see not only which channel brings inquiries, but which channel brings inquiries that get paid.

Contribution margin after ad spend

Instead of a ratio alone, the dashboard shows the absolute amount in euros left after ad spend. That is the number you use to decide whether more budget is worth it.

From number to decision

The dashboard also tells you what to do.

A return per channel is a finding. It gets interesting when it turns into a budget decision — safeguarded, auditable and with you on the trigger.

Budget recommendations with a safety limit

Concrete suggestions for where budget should go and where it should come from — every change capped at ±20 % so no channel collapses overnight. Optionally applied straight to the Google Ads account with one click, safeguarded against accidental double-application, with every change logged.

The AI analyst explains the outlier

The most conspicuous metric is explained in plain language, together with a recommendation of what to check. Grounded in your real dashboard numbers, not in free speculation.

A report link instead of a screenshot folder

The read-only client report works without a login, is PDF-ready and can be revoked at any time. The client sees their return themselves — including the delivery rate the system runs at.

Frequently asked

Answered briefly.

Why does your return differ from the number in the ad account?
Because the two sides count differently. Platforms only see what their pixel captures, yet they also credit themselves with purchases that merely saw an ad — and they never see refunds. We work from the orders in your shop, attribute every purchase exactly once and net returns out. The gap is not an error, it is the actual finding — and the scorecard shows you daily which way it runs.
Is the headline figure across all channels a ROAS?
No, and we label it as such. The per-channel number is the ad return: that channel’s spend against the revenue attributed to it. The headline figure is a blended number across total revenue — organic and returning business included. Both are useful, but they answer different questions.
What happens with refunds and cancellations?
They are netted against the original conversion automatically — as a partial correction for a partial refund, as a retraction for a full one, inside the Google Ads account too. They are credited to the channel of the original purchase, not to the channel active on the day of the refund. That keeps the revenue honest both in your dashboard and in the platform.
Where does the ad spend come from?
Straight from the ad accounts — Google and Meta at campaign level, TikTok, LinkedIn and others as a channel total. Spend is refreshed several times a day so that today and yesterday show real numbers, and foreign-currency accounts are converted into euros using daily ECB rates.
