you always over-count

What you get (+1 bonus)

Four sources, one Claude Project.
How to connect GA4, Google Ads, Meta and your store, from Shopify's own connector to a plain CSV export, with the developer-only steps boxed so you can hand them over.
Rules Claude reads first.
Paste-ready project instructions, a definitions file on how each source counts a sale, and a settings file for time zones and currencies, to teach Claude not to add the platforms' claims together.
15 prompts, labelled by trust.
From what an order really costs to what changed this week: four SAFE lookups, eight VERIFY prompts that say what to check, and three that won't work without joined data.
A 20-minute trust test.
Five questions on one closed week, checked against each platform, with a score that tells you whether to rely on Claude's cross-source answers or fix the setup first.
Where it breaks.
Mismatched time zones and campaign names, answers built on cut-off results, a broken tag that looks like a slow week, and connectors that can change your ads and products.
What it costs in hours.
A task-by-task table of setup and upkeep. Our estimate for a typical small shop: a day to set up properly, then two to four hours a month to keep it honest.
+1 bonus
An AI skill for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot
that helps you set up the analyst project, then runs the trust test and the monthly check on your own numbers.

Who it's for, and who it's not for

A shop owner at a packing table on a Monday morning compares four different sales numbers for the same week, written on a notepad next to an open laptop.

Who it's for

Online shop owners on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart or Shopware who run Google and Meta ads and want one place to ask questions across all of them.
Whoever runs marketing for the shop, in-house, at an agency or freelance, who has to answer "is it working?" every Monday.
Anyone who has asked Claude for a total ROAS and wondered whether it added Meta's and Google Ads' claimed sales together, and wants a way to check.

Who it's not for

Shops that already join store, ad and analytics data in a data warehouse such as BigQuery - you'll know most of what's in here.
Anyone without read access to the ad accounts and the store admin - you need it to connect each source and to run the trust test.

Honest note

Passing the trust test proves Claude reads your four sources accurately. It can't prove your tracking is right: if a tag breaks or the Meta pixel sends each purchase twice, Claude repeats those numbers faithfully. Google's own GA4 and Google Ads servers need a developer and run only in Claude Desktop or Claude Code. Meta's connector, and Shopify's with write access, can change your ads and products, so approve read-only access where it's offered, as Shopify does, and approve each change deliberately. All hours are our estimates.
