01
Installation & Property Setup
Duplicate GA4 tags, missing data streams, wrong Measurement ID, timezone and currency misconfiguration, data retention below 14 months, cross-domain tracking gaps. We catch the foundational mistakes that silently corrupt every report.
02
Filters & Data Quality
Internal traffic inflating sessions by 20-40%. Bot filtering status. Development traffic leaking into production views. URL parameters polluting page reports. We identify every source of dirty data in your property.
03
Enhanced Measurement Events
Scroll depth tracking accuracy, outbound link clicks firing correctly, site search tracking active, YouTube video engagement, file download events (PDF, XLS, ZIP). Enhanced measurement gives you a lot for free | but only if it is configured right.
04
Custom Events & Conversions
Contact form tracking (form fill vs successful submission), phone and email click events, correctly marked conversions, duplicate conversions, conversion value assignment, and any business-specific events like bookings, calculators, or demo requests that should be tracked but are not.
05
E-commerce Events
view_item, add_to_cart, remove_from_cart, begin_checkout, add_payment_info, add_shipping_info, and purchase events. We verify every e-commerce event has the correct parameters | value, currency, item ID, item name | and check for transaction deduplication issues that inflate revenue numbers.
06
GTM Container Structure
GA4 configuration tag correctness, triggers matching real interactions, variables reading dataLayer values properly, tag priorities and loading order, unused tags and variables polluting the container, container version published and live.
07
Consent Mode v2 & GDPR
Consent default firing before GA4 tags. All 4 v2 consent parameters: analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization. wait_for_update timing. CMP-GTM communication verified via Google Tag Diagnostics. Conversion modeling capability confirmation.
08
Google Ads & Meta Integration
GA4 ↔ Google Ads account linking verified. Imported conversions checked for conflicts. Remarketing lists populated and available. Auto-tagging gclid parameters correctly read. Meta Pixel and Conversions API events firing and matching. Audience sync between GA4 and Meta.
09
Attribution & Reporting
Attribution model audit (Data-driven vs Last Click vs Linear). Conversion window alignment with purchase cycle. Channel grouping accuracy. Direct/none traffic share (too high = UTM problem). Campaign UTM parameter consistency. Cross-device reporting enabled where possible.
10
Report Quality & Actionability
Custom reports aligned to actual business questions, not vanity metrics. Explorations configured (funnels, user paths, cohorts). Data Studio dashboards reviewed for data source accuracy. We answer: can the client actually use these reports to make decisions?
