Next, factor in practical aspects that may influence your projections, including new campaign types (like Performance Max), landing page updates, or changes to your call and form tracking setup. Diagnostic tools in Google Ads and Google Analytics can highlight where drop-offs occur or where conversion rates fluctuate. Identify which keywords, ads, or audiences produce the highest lead quality, as this affects the value—not just the volume—of incoming leads.
