What to validate

A connected source still needs context.

Pennant preserves the distinction between platform signals, reporting inputs, and institution-confirmed enrollment outcomes.

  • Google Ads conversions are not identical to CRM records
  • Modeled and cross-device conversions remain platform metrics
  • Cost-per-enrollment requires aligned paid-source outcomes

Integration FAQ

Questions teams ask about Google Ads.

Why do Google Ads conversions differ from CRM leads?

The systems use different identity signals, attribution windows, event rules, dates, and deduplication. Pennant keeps both visible and uses CRM-confirmed records for downstream enrollment reporting.

Can Pennant report cost per enrolled student from Google Ads?

Yes when eligible spend and confirmed paid-source enrollments are aligned to compatible definitions and reporting windows.
