Analytics

Analytics you can actually make decisions on

Most GA4 setups we inherit cannot answer the only question that matters: how many enquiries came in, and where from. Sessions and bounce rate are recorded faithfully. Whether the phone rang is not.

We set it up the other way round, starting from the actions that mean money — a form submitted, a call over thirty seconds, a WhatsApp message, a booking — and configuring Tag Manager so each is recorded reliably and only once. Consent is handled so the tracking respects your cookie banner, and we tell you plainly what you can and cannot measure once someone declines. Then we connect it to Google Ads and Search Console, so paid and organic can be judged on the same definition of a lead rather than two that disagree.

What you get

What’s included

Tracking plan

A written list of the actions worth measuring and what each one means, agreed before anything is built.

GA4 and Tag Manager

Set up around those actions, with events that fire once and are named consistently.

Call and message tracking

Phone taps, WhatsApp and chat recorded, so offline enquiries are not invisible.

Consent handling

Configured to respect your cookie banner, with an honest account of what that costs you in data.

Connected reporting

Ads and Search Console linked, so paid and organic are judged on the same definition of a lead.

How it works

Three steps, and you see the work at each one.

  1. Agree what counts

    Decide which actions are conversions for your business before touching the tooling.

  2. Implement

    Build it in Tag Manager, then test every event in preview mode before publishing.

  3. Verify against reality

    Check the numbers against real enquiries for a fortnight, because a tag that fires is not the same as a tag that is right.

FAQ

Questions before you call

Is our existing GA4 setup salvageable?

Usually. The common faults are conversions that fire on page load and no distinction between a form and a phone tap. Both are fixable without starting again.

Will this work with our cookie banner?

Yes. We configure consent mode so tracking respects the choice, and we will tell you how much data you lose when people decline.

Can we track phone calls?

Taps on a phone number, yes, out of the box. Full call tracking with recordings needs a third-party service, which we can set up if the volume justifies the cost.

Do we need this if we already have Ads conversion tracking?

They measure different things and frequently disagree. Getting both onto one definition of a lead is usually where this pays for itself.
