Finding what actually works: Method 1: Backend truth check
- WooCommerce stores customer email, order details

- Create unique codes per campaign: FACEBOOK25, GOOGLE10
- 100% definitive attribution when used
- Works regardless of tracking status Method 3: BigQuery analysis Method 4: Incrementality testing
- Turn campaign off for geographic or time segment
- Measure difference in conversions
- Proves causation, not just correlation
