Google Analytics Statistics Differ from Other Tracking Platforms
1 min read
Different tracking platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Analytics) track visits, clicks and traffic differently. Therefore you may see different statistics in different platforms.
For example:
- Clicks vs. Sessions: Some services (e.g., Google Ads) track every click a visitor makes, whereas other services (e.g., Google Analytics) only track one click per session.
- Filtering of invalid clicks: Some services filter out invalid clicks, while others show all clicks.
- Tracking blocked by browser extension: Some browser extensions block tracking by certain tracking services and prevent these services from collecting data.
