Alternative to GA Connector - Able Customer Data Platform

Why so many marketers choose Able as an alternative to GA Connector?

Here are some of the key differences to consider when looking for an alternative to GA Connector.

All Google Analytics and CRM integration tools make similar promises: seeing attributed purchases in Google Analytics, understanding what channels and ads sell, calculating profitability. What makes Able Customer Data Platform different is the technology underneath the marketing speak.

Both Able and GA Connector attribute CRM purchases to website visitors and send them to Google Analytics. But Able has Facebook Conversions API and Google Ads API integrations that allow it to send data to the ad platforms and leverage powerful automatic audience optimization offered by Facebook Ads and Google Ads, rather than merely reporting ROI for campaigns.

Both Able and GA Connector track customer activity. But Able is a customer data platform, which allows it to build a better holistic view of the customer journey instead of simply collecting events that happen on the website and CRM and send them to Google Analytics.

⚡️
You should choose Able if:

you'd like to understand how and why customers purchase to make informed decisions when developing your marketing strategy;
you'd like to increase return on ad spend by leveraging Facebook (Meta) Ads and Google Ads AI audience optimization by sending conversions to Facebook Conversions API and Google Ads API.

What advantages do you get by choosing Able as a GA Connector alternative?

True Server-Side Attribution

Let ad platforms' AIs work for your business by streaming server-side conversion data from the back-end to Google Ads and Facebook Ads Conversion APIs. This facilitates ad platforms AI bidding optimization and enables the creation of custom segments and highly effective lookalike audiences in real-time.

Able CDP marketing API integrations are privacy-ready and function without relying on third-party cookies.

GA Connector doesn't send data back to ad platforms, which limits its ability to improve ROI for paid traffic.

Map Customer Journey to Each Purchase

Able CDP keeps knowledge about each customer activity, regardless whether it happens online on the website or offline and in a CRM.

It tracks and displays full journeys of each individual customer from the first ad click and landing page visit to CRM and payment systems conversions and gives you insight into these journeys through a visual history of each customer.

Improve Your Marketing in Minutes

No matter whether your sales are low-touch or high-touch, one-off, recurring or subscription, Able CDP has tracking, attribution and API integrations solutions optimal for your business to help your long-term growth without delay.

Focus On What Matters The Most

Able is designed to be set up once and bring all the data and KPIs optimal for your business into the tools you already use every day: Google Analytics, a CRM system, ad platforms’ reports and so on. Able can offer more useful features at a much lower price due to its extensive use of automation and artificial intelligence.

GA Connector integrates a CRM only with Google Analytics, not allowing to take full advantage of features available in ad platforms and ownership of first-party customer data.

Don't just take our word for it

Software companies, e-commerce stores and various types of digital businesses around the world are using Able CDP to fundamentally improve their marketing strategy.

“A valuable insight we've got because of using Able Customer Data Platform is that display ads aren't working for us at all... we've been wasting money for years on paid display ads. Before Able we'd be excited about every lead or email that came through, but after the last year we've determined that those don't convert at all. And so we've been focusing on paid search, which does have return on investment.”
