A better Google Ads check

Conversions vs bookings

Your Google Ads conversions may not be bookings.

The reporting gap
02 / 06

Google Ads can count actions before a booking happens.

A Book Now click, phone tap or form start can appear as a conversion even when no appointment is confirmed.

Not all actions are equal
03 / 06

These can look similar in a report.

Clicked Book Now
Started a form
Called the clinic
Confirmed a booking
Clean up the picture
04 / 06

Build a simple conversion ladder.

Mark confirmed bookings as primary
Use qualified calls where possible
Keep button clicks as secondary
Compare the account with clinic bookings
Why it matters
05 / 06

Optimise towards the action closest to a real enquiry.

If soft actions are treated like outcomes, the account can look stronger than the clinic's booking diary.

A higher conversion count is not always a better campaign.
The practical check
06 / 06

Make the ad account and booking diary tell the same story.

Review what each conversion means before increasing spend or judging campaign performance.
