Discrepancy in Clicks with FB ads.

Hi,

I have ran two campaigns using FB ads, direct website clicks.

I used doorway method, like created landing page and once ad get approved I set redirect to tracking URL, and run ad for three days.

Spend: $20 (Approx.)

FB stats.
Website Clicks: 756
Reach: 16,788
Ref. : http://prntscr.com/bc5ek1

HO Tracking Stats.
Clicks: 200
Conversions: 0 from FB (System recorded 1 conversion which i made for test)
Ref: http://prntscr.com/bc5fko

I ran one other campaign which is my friends own mobile app.

Facebook showing me over 4K website hits while google shortlink tracker showing me 1300 and when I checked through GP it's showing me only 119 and I get 19 conversions for it.

What are the possible reasons for it?

Anyone have same experience like me?

What's GP? What is your redirect link breakdown?
Facebook > GSLT > Offer ?

I have no experience with GSLT. Are the re-directs lighting fast? Why are you using it over a custom tracker?

Do a report breakdown of your ads to see where the clicks are coming from / unique vs duplicate.

There is often a discrepancy but with one that large, something is wrong. Is it a mobile campaign? You tend to get a lot of accidental clicks, which would usually explain the small increase on FB's side. There could be a few factors at play here. Are you sure you didn't get a lot of the traffic before the link was switched?
