Define a valuable ad outcome and hand off checks for event firing, duplicate prevention, consent behavior and real product-state evidence.

## Task

Give an implementer an unambiguous test plan for one meaningful advertising conversion event.

## When to use

Use this before relying on conversion reporting for campaign decisions. Start with an actual valuable outcome and distinguish the product event, its tracking signal and the provider report.

## Choose another approach when

You want to count any button click as revenue, send personal fields in tracking payloads, or turn a brief into a claim that consent or privacy obligations are satisfied.

## Inputs

- The exact product state that represents the intended outcome.
- The current tracking approach and responsible implementation owner.
- A permitted test environment, safe test data and applicable consent behavior.

## Template

    Business action: [specific completed outcome]
    Product evidence of completion: [saved state / receipt / identifier]
    Tracking event name and trigger: [implementation contract]
    Must not fire for: [click only, validation failure, abandoned flow]
    Duplicate cases: [refresh, back button, retry, repeated callback]
    Allowed fields: [minimal non-sensitive values]
    Consent-state test cases: [expected behavior reviewed by owner]
    Checks: product completed | event observed | provider received | report appeared
    Each check: evidence / timestamp / pass, fail or pending
    Release owner and unresolved limitation: [record]

## Illustrative example

This is not a Crany customer result. Replace example details with verified facts.

    Fictional conversion: a confirmed request for a product demo. Clicking “Request demo” is not sufficient; successful form submission must create the intended request record.
    Test 1: invalid email -> no request and no completion event.
    Test 2: valid permitted test submission -> one record and one completion signal.
    Test 3: refresh success page -> no second completed request signal.
    Provider reporting is pending, so the handoff records product/event checks separately and does not claim measured campaign conversions or revenue.

## How to use

1. Define the valuable completed state and the negative cases before implementation.
2. Have the implementation owner verify payload minimization and applicable consent behavior.
3. Run safe completion, failure and repeat cases, then check provider receipt and reporting separately.

## Checks

- The event represents completion rather than the first attempted interaction.
- Duplicate and failure paths have explicit expected behavior.
- No private user details are placed in public URLs or arbitrary event parameters.

## What to measure

Compare safe test outcomes across product state, tracking signal and provider reporting. Investigate discrepancies before optimizing campaigns against that event; this handoff alone does not validate attribution or financial value.

## Research and sources

Google defines conversions as valuable actions and describes data-handling responsibilities. The event contract, failure tests and reconciliation stages are original implementation planning, not a full privacy or attribution audit.

- [Google Ads: Conversion tracking definition](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6308?hl=en) — checked 2026-10-23. Measurement connects ad interactions to valuable actions and requires appropriate data handling; not a legal or implementation audit.
