Google Ads and GA4 tracking for MemberPress
The Google problem here is the recurring half. Signup usually tracks fine; the renewals that make a membership profitable never reach Google at all, so bidding optimizes toward members who join rather than members who stay.

MemberPress + Google · when not to buy
When you don't need this on MemberPress
Worth reading before you buy anything, from us or anyone.
- If you sell one-time memberships with no recurring billing, the signup event is most of the story.
- The transaction hook work is standard WordPress development. Any competent WP developer can do it — hand them this page.
- If your numbers already reconcile against MemberPress, nothing here needs buying.
- Do the plugin inventory before anything else. On WordPress it's free and it finds most of the problems.
