What You Get

Complete the loop. Without the compliance risk.

Ad platform optimization depends on conversion signal quality. Signals gives your platforms the data they need to bid smarter, without any PHI ever leaving LightTrail.

Compliant Conversion Signals

Send conversion events to Google Ads and Meta Ads without exposing protected health information. Every signal is validated against HIPAA requirements before it leaves the system.

Server-Side Delivery

Signals bypass the browser entirely. No client-side pixels, no third-party scripts with access to visitor data. Events are transmitted directly from LightTrail's servers via the ad platform APIs.

Audience Signal Sharing

Let your ad platforms learn from real conversion patterns. Better signal quality means smarter automated bidding, more efficient spend, and campaigns that continuously improve on outcomes.

Closed-Loop Attribution

From the ad click that brought the visitor in, to the conversion event sent back out. Signals closes the loop so your ad platforms can optimize on real outcomes and learn which campaigns are performing.

How It Works

From conversion event to optimized bid.

Signals is fully automated. Once configured, every qualifying conversion event flows through the pipeline without manual intervention.

01

Conversion fires

A visitor completes a conversion action: appointment request, form submission, or phone click. LightTrail captures the event with full session context inside your analytics.

02

Signal constructed

Signals builds a clean conversion event from the internal record. Campaign attribution stays in LightTrail's analytics. Only the compliant conversion data moves forward.

03

Compliance validated

Every signal is checked before transmission. No patient identifiers, IP addresses, proscribed combinations, or protected health information is included. If a payload does not meet requirements, it does not leave the system.

04

Server-side delivery

The validated signal is transmitted directly to Google Ads and Meta Ads via server APIs. No browser involvement, no third-party pixel exposure. The loop between your analytics and your ad spend closes.

Signal Flow

What Signals sends. And what it keeps out.

Every signal delivers a compliant conversion event to your ad platforms, and excludes every piece of data that would create a compliance issue. The separation is architectural, not manual.

Compliant conversion delivery

Signals sends conversion events that let your ad platforms optimize bidding and measure campaign performance, without exposing any protected health information.

Conversion event context

Each signal carries the conversion event type so your platforms can optimize on the actions that matter most to your organization.

No PHI by architecture

Patient identifiers, email addresses, IP addresses, and device IDs are excluded from every payload. They are never part of the signal to begin with.

Server-side validation

Every signal passes a compliance check before it leaves LightTrail. If a payload does not meet HIPAA standards, it does not get delivered.
