Tiki Time Bay Tours initially struggled with ineffective tracking in their ad accounts, preventing accurate conversion learning and optimization in Google Ads. This challenge was compounded by the outdated Google Analytics Universal Analytics. Transitioning to Google Analytics 4 and ensuring its integration with Google Ads became a critical focus, a process in which Portside Social Club provided essential guidance.
