Why Google Analytics visits do not match with Brainstorm Automation?

Sometimes Google Analytics won't match 100% with the results in Brainstorm Automation.

2- Another reason might be the placement of the script within the body of the page. For example, your Brainstorm Automation tracking code could be placed in the header while your Google code in the footer. If for some reason, certain visitors are leaving pages before they fully load the content of the page, the Brainstorm Automation tracker could load and track the visits while Google code was unable to fully load.
