Why MER ≠ Tracked ROAS

Google Ads reports 0.2x ROAS because it can only see conversions it directly attributed. True MER is 3.8x — Shopify revenue ($5,017.12) divided by total ad spend ($1,319.83). The gap is caused by attribution lag, cross-device journeys, and organic assists.

TODAY'S PRIORITY ACTIONS

CRITICAL Google Ads CPA is $146.65 — target is $20. Brand Defense campaign spending $1,245 with only 7 conversions. Pause broad match keywords immediately. Pause Keywords →

CRITICAL Only 0 Klaviyo flow live. Build abandoned cart flow — every buyer leaving without purchasing is unrecovered revenue. Build Flow →

CRITICAL 301 redirect blocking SEO — join.legionm.com/robert-smalls-defiant/ still live. Google choosing it as canonical over defiantproject.com. Email Eric today. Email Eric →

SEO & Infrastructure — Blocking Issues

🔴 BLOCKING — 301 redirect not implemented

join.legionm.com/robert-smalls-defiant/ is still live and indexed. Google selecting it as canonical over defiantproject.com. Until Eric implements the 301 redirect, defiantproject.com cannot rank organically. This must be resolved before the July 4 statue unveiling.

🟡 PENDING — defiantproject.com (no-www) → GoDaddy parking page

Eric needs to add GoDaddy forwarding rule so defiantproject.com resolves to www.defiantproject.com.

🟢 INDEXED — defiantproject.com verified & indexed Feb 18, 2026

GSC data expected ~March 4. Dashboard will show query data automatically when available.

🟡 MISSING — Google Ads tag + Meta Pixel not installed on defiantproject.com

21,000+ pageviews with no conversion tracking. Add AW-602167558 and Meta Pixel via Unbounce JavaScript settings.

🟡 PAGE SPEED — shop.legionm.com mobile score 41/100 · LCP 5.0 s

Mobile LCP of 5.0 s is severely above the 2.5s target. Audit and remove unused Shopify apps loading JavaScript. Enable lazy loading on images.

FIX

Conversion Tracking Broken

Google Ads sees 9 conversions but Shopify has 157 orders. Only 6% of purchases are being attributed. Verify the Google Tag (AW-602167558) fires on the Shopify order confirmation page. Check the Google & YouTube Shopify app is connected and conversion measurement is ON.

Check Conversions →

OPTIMIZE

Tracked CPA $147 is 7x Over Target

Target CPA is $20 (below product price). Even with attribution gap, the tracked CPA of $147 signals wasted spend on non-converting queries. Pause broad match keywords. Add negative keywords for investment/stock/free terms. Restructure into tighter ad groups: Brand Exact, Robert Smalls Book Buyers, Discovery.

Manage Keywords →

EVALUATE

Defiant - Shopping PMax: $295 Spent / 0 Conversions

This campaign has spent $295 with zero tracked conversions. If conversion tracking is working, pause and reallocate budget. If tracking is broken, fix tracking first before judging performance.

Review Campaign →

ADD

Install Google Ads Tag on defiantproject.com

defiantproject.com has 21,000+ pageviews but no Google Ads conversion tracking. Every visitor from an ad who lands on defiantproject.com then buys on Shopify is invisible. Install tag AW-602167558 via Unbounce JavaScript settings.

Get Tag Code →

SCALE

True ROAS is 3.8x — Consider Increasing Budget

You're spending $1320/month with a 3.8x return. Once conversion tracking is fixed, increase budget by 20% weekly while maintaining ROAS. Target $2,500-3,000/month to scale revenue toward July 4 deadline.
