Online advertising in the UK and Ireland.

A person may click your ad while declining the consent your analytics setup needs, leaving no recorded session. A session is an interaction that your analytics tool records on your site. FastVisits adds a source label, a short link tag called a UTM tag, so your tool can attribute sessions to the campaign. You can check whether your consent settings, page loading or redirects affect that label before comparing reports.

In a simplified hypothetical example, suppose 100 people click an ad and every destination page starts loading. If 30 people decline consent required by the analytics setup, the tool may record only 70 sessions. This example illustrates a possible measurement difference, not evidence that consent explains a particular gap.

You can compare your account clicks with an analytics export filtered by the FastVisits source label, using matching dates and time zones. Consent choices, ad blockers, slow pages and redirects that drop the label can explain differences, so they need checking first. If your analytics records more than 20% fewer labelled sessions than our reported clicks and normal measurement causes do not explain the gap, we review within 2 business days and add replacement clicks. The click review process helps you assess the evidence rather than assume a cause.

Suppose a clothing store in England advertises to someone in Cork, but shows shipping costs only at the final checkout step. The buyer may stop because the total no longer matches what they expected from the ad.

Your destination page can state the price currency, shipping cost, expected delivery time and return terms for each country. If import charges apply to your offer, you can explain who pays them before the buyer orders.

A consistent ad and checkout let buyers assess the full offer before committing. You can check product availability and country terms before running online store advertising, because a relevant placement cannot resolve a confusing checkout. Ads do not promise sales or completed orders.

Suppose your ad promotes a course starting on 04/05, but the page never spells out the month. A prospective customer may read that date as April rather than May and choose the wrong session.

You can write 4 May on both the ad and the booking page to remove that ambiguity. A clearly written date helps the reader check whether the course fits their schedule before they click or book.

Local spelling and clear address labels can also help people complete forms. You can check your UK postcode field and Irish address instructions separately, because a form that fits one market may confuse buyers in the other.
