Why a New Microsoft Conversion Goal Says "Unverified"
A brand-new UET tag or goal can take up to a day to start showing data — that's normal, not a broken setup.
What it means
After setting up a new UET tag or conversion goal in Microsoft Advertising, it can take up to 24 hours before it starts receiving data. Until then, the goal may show a status like "Unverified" or "Tag inactive," which simply means it hasn't seen any activity yet, not that anything is wrong.
Why it matters
It's easy to assume a new setup failed the moment you don't see data right away. Giving it the typical waiting window before troubleshooting further avoids chasing a problem that doesn't exist.

I just set up a new conversion goal on Microsoft and it says "Unverified" — is something broken?
Ask datanephew to check when the goal was created. If it's been less than a day, "Unverified" is the expected status while it waits for its first activity.
