What Hendrik checks

  1. Conversion and delivery settings

    Check Google Ads conversion actions, attribution window, change events, and campaign mix before interpreting reported value or leads.

  2. Event and release context

    Check PostHog event definition, instrumentation coverage, feature-flag exposure, annotations, and session scope before interpreting a journey change.

  3. Explain the divergence

    Google Ads: reported conversion value (USD, 28 days) changed from 88,000 USD to 105,000 USD. PostHog: checkout-completed events (count, 28 days) changed from 1,360 to 1,160. Compare the timing and definitions before attributing one change to the other.

One analysis, different integrations

What each integration adds

Connect your stack

Set up each integration in one workspace.

  1. Create your Hendrik account. Choose a workspace for your business.
  2. Connect your data. Use each integration’s setup instructions above. Availability and permissions are shown in your workspace.
  3. Ask your first question. Hendrik uses the available data and tells you when a comparison needs more history or more data.
Requirements and data limits

What you need

  • Use one explicit 28-day comparison window, time zone, market, and legal-entity scope before comparing values.
  • Connected Google Ads account with spend and conversion reporting for the stated window.
  • Connected PostHog project with the relevant event definition and capture coverage.
  • Keep provider-specific definitions visible and use an identity or product mapping only where it is established for this workspace.

Keep these differences in mind

  • Google-reported conversion value is platform attribution, not incremental revenue or a deduplicated business total.
  • Captured events depend on instrumentation and coverage; they do not automatically identify a payment, order, or campaign.
  • No Google Ads click-to-PostHog person relationship is assumed.
