Tracking and measurement architecture

Most measurement problems are not analysis problems. They are collection problems that nobody has looked at in two years. We audit what is actually firing, rebuild it server-side, and document the schema so it survives the next site change.

What it covers

Three parts, in this order

Find out what is actually being collected

We reconcile what the platforms report against what the business can see in its own order or CRM data, then work backwards to the gaps. The output is a written list of what is broken, what it costs you, and what to fix first.

  • GA4 property and event review against a documented schema
  • Consent mode and cookie behaviour checked in the browser, not assumed
  • Platform conversions reconciled to finance or CRM records
  • Cross-domain and subdomain journeys traced end to end
  • Written findings with a prioritised remediation list
Shape of the work

How an engagement runs

Every engagement starts with a written brief rather than a verbal scope. That is the part that separates this from ad hoc consultancy.

01 · Week 1

Audit

We map what exists, test it live, and reconcile it against your own numbers.

02 · Weeks 2 to 4

Build

Server-side container, platform events and the documented schema go in.

03 · Week 5

Validate

We run parallel collection and prove the new number against the old one before switching.

04 · Ongoing

Hold

Monitoring, plus re-validation whenever the site changes.

Questions

The things people ask first

01Do we have to move off our current setup?
Usually not entirely. Server-side collection runs alongside what you already have, which is what makes the parallel validation step possible. We only switch once the new number can be explained against the old one.
02Who implements the site changes?
Your developers, your web agency, or Social Nerd, depending on what you have. We write the spec and validate the result either way. Dashon owns the architecture; implementation can sit wherever it already sits.
03Will this survive a consent tool change?
It is designed to. Consent handling is documented as part of the schema rather than configured once and forgotten, and re-validation after any consent or platform change is part of the ongoing work.
