# Is My Ad Tracking Actually Working?

> Checks every ad pixel on the store, confirms the last orders reached them, and tells you what is broken.

## The prompt

```text
Check my ad tracking. List every pixel that is active and say if it tracks in the browser, on the server or both. Tell me if the storefront has confirmed the pixels load and if the first order was tracked. Then pull my orders from the last 7 days and tell me how many there were, so I can compare them with the conversions in my ad accounts. Finish with anything I should fix today.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Check my ad tracking…

Assistant: 4 pixels are active: Google Ads, GA4, Meta and TikTok. Only Meta also tracks on the server. Pixels confirmed live 41 days ago. 186 orders came in over the last 7 days. Calling: `pmw/get-tracking-status`, `pmw/get-first-event-status`, `woocommerce/orders-query`.

Assistant: Fix today: Google Ads reports 151 conversions against 186 orders, so about 1 in 5 sales is missing. Turn on server-side tracking for Google Ads first.

## Abilities this recipe calls

- **See which ad pixels are tracking** (`pmw/get-tracking-status`, read only, from Pixel Manager): Shows which ad and analytics pixels are active, and if each one tracks in the browser, on the server or both.
- **Check the first tracked order** (`pmw/get-first-event-status`, read only, from Pixel Manager): Shows if the storefront confirmed the pixels load and if the first order was tracked.
- **Find orders** (`woocommerce/orders-query`, read only, from WooCommerce): Finds orders by status, customer, email or date, with the items in each order.

## Variations
