Why attribution data can differ from other analytics tools
Every tool measures a different point in the funnel.
YouTube Analytics measures activity inside YouTube (views, watch time) - it has no visibility into what happens after someone follows an outbound link. Google Analytics (or a similar tool on your destination site) measures what happens after a visitor lands, and only if their browser lets its tracking script run.
GoloLink sits between the two: it logs the click itself, at the moment someone follows your short URL, tagged with the video or product that generated it. Because each tool is measuring a different moment, none of their numbers will match exactly - see What counts as a click? and Attribution limitations.
