GA4 tracks what people do on your site as a list of events. A page view is an event. A button click is an event. A purchase is an event. If those events are not set up with care, the reports look fine but tell the wrong story. A common example is a conversion that counts twice, which makes your ads look better than they are.
When GA4 is set up well, you get a clear picture of which pages, campaigns, and channels lead to real results. You can also send those results back to Google Ads and Meta so they spend your budget on what actually works.

Conversion numbers in GA4 do not match your ads platform or your sales system.
