Analytics & Tracking

Analytics and Tracking You Can Actually Trust

GA4, Tag Manager, conversion events and clean reporting — configured properly, so marketing decisions rest on real numbers.

Overview

What This Service Covers

Most businesses have analytics installed and still cannot answer the basic question: which pages and channels produce enquiries? The tracking code is present, but no conversion events were ever configured.

I set up measurement so the reporting maps to your actual business events — form submissions, phone taps, WhatsApp clicks, quote requests — and so the data stays clean enough to act on.

Challenges

Common Measurement Problems

  • Form submissions never configured as conversion events
  • Phone and WhatsApp taps invisible in reports
  • Internal team traffic inflating the numbers
  • Ad platforms and analytics reporting conflicting figures with no explanation
Approach

How Tracking Is Set Up

We start from the business questions you need answered, then define the events required to answer them. Measurement follows the questions, not the other way around.

Everything is implemented through Google Tag Manager so tags stay organised and future changes do not require editing site code, then validated in debug mode before it is trusted.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Google Analytics 4 free?

Yes, GA4 is free for the volumes typical of small and medium businesses.

Why do my ad platform and analytics numbers differ?

They use different attribution models and windows, so some difference is normal. Large gaps usually indicate a tracking problem worth fixing.

Can you track phone calls?

Taps on phone links are trackable as events. Tracking actual call outcomes requires a call tracking service, which I can help set up.

Do I need Tag Manager?

It is strongly recommended. It keeps tags organised and lets tracking change without editing the website itself.

What about privacy and consent?

Tracking can be configured to respect a consent banner and regional privacy requirements.
