Know which marketing actually creates leads.
If you can't tell which marketing is actually creating leads, you can't confidently decide where to spend. Cedar sets up and repairs conversion tracking for small businesses running ads or generating traffic, so every form, call, booking and sale is tied back to the campaign, page or search that produced it.
What is conversion tracking?
Conversion tracking measures the actions that matter to your business, such as form submissions, phone calls, booked consultations and purchases, and records which marketing source led to each one. It shows which campaigns and pages produce real leads, not just clicks.
A good fit when
- Businesses running Google Ads or Meta Ads
- Companies getting traffic but unsure where leads come from
- Owners whose ad reports don't match their inbox or phone
- Businesses preparing to increase advertising budgets
- Teams that want reporting based on leads and sales
Common situations
- Ad platforms reporting different lead counts than you actually received
- Phone calls and booked consultations that never appear in reports
- Duplicate or broken tags inflating conversions
- Leads arriving with no recorded source or campaign
- Reports focused on clicks and page views instead of inquiries

Cedar's own lead tracking
Cedar measures its own inquiries the same way: accepted form submissions are counted once, after the server confirms them, and each lead keeps its campaign source for reporting.

- What is conversion tracking?
- Conversion tracking records the actions that matter to your business, such as form submissions, phone calls, booked consultations or purchases, and connects each one to the marketing that produced it. It turns visits and clicks into a clear count of real leads and sales.
- How do I know if my tracking is incomplete?
- Common signs include ad platforms reporting very different numbers from your inbox, calls that never appear in reports, leads with no recorded source, or reports that count page views instead of inquiries. If you cannot say which campaign produced last month's best lead, tracking likely needs attention.
- Which tools does Cedar use?
- Depending on your setup, Cedar works with Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads conversion tracking and the Meta Pixel, plus server-side or platform-level tracking where it is appropriate and supported. Cedar reviews your current website platform and tools first rather than assuming every configuration is possible.
- Why does tracking matter for Google Ads and Meta Ads?
- Advertising platforms optimize toward the conversions you report. When they receive accurate lead and sale signals, bidding and audience decisions improve. When tracking is missing or duplicated, budgets can drift toward clicks that never become customers.
- Does conversion tracking help SEO?
- Yes. Tracking shows which organic pages and search topics produce inquiries, not just traffic, so content and optimization effort can focus on the pages that bring in business.
- Can you fix tracking on my existing website?
- Usually. Cedar audits what is installed today, removes duplicate or broken tags, and adds or corrects the events you need. A rebuild is only recommended when the current platform prevents reliable measurement.
- How much does conversion tracking setup cost?
- It depends on the number of conversion actions, platforms and integrations involved. Cedar does not publish fixed prices; scope and investment are confirmed in writing after reviewing your setup.
