Conversion Troubleshooter

When the conversion count in Google Ads doesn't match the calls and forms you actually got, the Conversion Troubleshooter shows you why. It reconciles the conversions Google recorded against your CallRail calls and form submissions for any date range — so you can find exactly where offline-conversion upload is dropping leads.

What it does

Offline conversion tracking only works when every booked call makes it from your phone system into Google Ads. In practice, some don't — a call arrives without a Google click ID, falls outside the conversion window, or gets filtered out by a pool's rule. The Conversion Troubleshooter puts both sides on one screen:

Lined up together, the gaps become obvious: which calls reached Google, which didn't, and which "conversions" don't correspond to a real call or form at all.

Filters

Two filters narrow the reconciliation to the leads you care about, plus a date range:

🆕

First-time callers only

Ignore repeat callers.

Limit the view to the first call from each phone number, matching how attribution counts a lead — so repeat calls from existing customers don't muddy the comparison.

☎️

Specific tracking numbers

Scope to the CallRail numbers that matter.

Pick the exact CallRail tracking numbers to include, so you can isolate one campaign's line or exclude numbers that were never meant to feed Google Ads.

Your filters are remembered. The first-time-caller toggle, your selected tracking numbers, and the date-range preset are saved per workspace — set them once and they're there the next time you open the tool.

How it fits with the rest of PPC TNT

The Troubleshooter is the diagnostic companion to the conversion pipeline it reports on:

FAQ

Why don't my Google Ads conversions match my calls?

Usually because a call never carried a Google click ID (gclid), the call fell outside the conversion window, or the upload was filtered out by your pool's rule. The Troubleshooter lines the two sources up so you can see which calls made it to Google and which didn't.

What can I filter by?

First-time callers only, a specific set of CallRail tracking numbers, and a date range. Those filters are saved per workspace so you don't have to re-set them each visit.

Does it change anything in Google Ads?

No — it's read-only. It reconciles and reports. Uploading and retracting conversions is handled by the call-tracking and conversion-sync flow.
