Conversion Tracking & Tag Management
Do you really know where your customers come from and what they do on the website? With proper tracking you will know.
Many companies pay for Google Ads, Facebook Ads, SEO - and have no idea which channel brings the valuable conversions. It's like driving a campaign and then not reading the speedometer. Conversion tracking is the bridge: it connects your marketing activities with real business results. Google Tag Manager is the tool with which you can keep everything under control - without annoying your developer every time.
What is conversion tracking really?
A conversion is a success. This can be: a purchase, a sales offer requested, a newsletter signup, a phone call, a chat started, a PDF downloaded. Conversion tracking means: We measure these successes and assign them to the marketing channel that brought them. So you know: “25 inquiries came from Google Ads, 8 from social media, 40 from SEO.” That's worth its weight in gold - because then you can allocate your budget where it works.
What you get
Analysis & Planning
Before we write code, we ask: What is a conversion for you? Which marketing channels do you use? Which tracking tools do you need? Where are the intersections and potential sources of error? This isn't exciting, but it's extremely important.
Data Layer & GTM Setup
We build a clean data layer - this is the "interpreter" between your website and the tracking tools. This ensures that all tools receive the same data and that no discrepancies arise.
Event definition & Custom Events
Standard events are good, but rarely sufficient. We define custom events for your specific use cases: “Guide downloaded”, “Demo requested”, “Product category visited”, etc.
Conversion Mapping & Attribution
We assign your events to conversions. What is a direct sale? What is a lead? What is a newsletter subscription? We define this clearly so that all tools measure it the same way.
Rigorous Testing & QA
Tracking errors are tricky - the website looks normal, but the data is incorrect. That's why we test intensively: Are events managed correctly? Is the right data going to the right tools? Is there duplicate tracking? Are bots filtered?
Documentation & Handover
You will receive complete documentation. What is what? How do you define a new event? How do you troubleshoot when something doesn't work? No black boxes.
Multi-Channel Integration
We cleanly connect Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn, Google Analytics and other tools. You get a holistic picture instead of silos.
Attribution Modeling & Reporting
We help you find the right attribution model. Last-click is simple, but often wrong. Data-Driven Attribution shows real weighting of touchpoints.
