Conversion tracking — accurate measurement of every sale
You can’t optimize what you don’t measure. We configure Google Analytics 4 and Tag Manager so every conversion — purchase, inquiry, phone click — is precisely measured. Setup from €200.
- GA4 + GTM complete setup
- Server-side optional
- GDPR compliant
What is conversion tracking?
Conversion tracking is a technical system that records every important action on your site: purchase, inquiry, phone click, page view, form submission, file download. Without it you are flying blind — you see clicks and visitors, but you do not see if they bring real sales.
Conversion tracking is the foundation for everything: Google Ads cannot optimize campaigns without conversion data; GA4 cannot show which channels bring sales; A/B tests cannot be data-driven; ROI calculation without tracking is impossible. In one word: without quality conversion tracking every ad is shooting in the dark.
What we configure: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) — measurement of the entire user journey; Google Tag Manager (GTM) — centralized management of all tags; Google Ads conversion tracking — measurement of Google ads ROI; Enhanced E-commerce (for online stores) — orders, revenue, products; Cross-domain tracking (if you have multiple domains); Server-side tracking (premium — most accurate); Privacy-compliant setup (GDPR + cookie consent integration).
What is included in the tracking system: page views (where visitors go), events (clicks, scroll, video views), conversions (purchases, inquiries, registrations), e-commerce (order count, revenue, AOV), user journey (path of visitor before purchase), Source/Medium (where visitor came from — Google, Facebook, direct), demographics (age, gender, location — anonymized), devices (desktop vs mobile vs tablet).
Result: an accurate picture of everything happening with your business online. Every decision is data-driven, every euro of ad spend is measurable, every channel is comparable.
Why is conversion tracking important?
Four reasons conversion tracking is the foundation under every Google Ads campaign.
- 01
You can’t optimize what you don’t measure
Universal truth in Google Ads and in marketing generally. Without conversion data, every ad optimization is guesswork. With quality conversion tracking you know exactly which campaign, which keyword, which ad text brings in money.
- 02
ROI is clear and provable
€590 monthly management fee — is it worth it? With quality tracking you get a concrete answer: how much sales Google Ads brought, what the CPA is, what the ROAS is. Not speculation — concrete numbers.
- 03
Data-driven decisions, not assumptions
Everyone says "data-driven marketing", but it only works when the data exists and is accurate. Wrong or incomplete tracking = wrong decisions. Right tracking = right decisions.
- 04
Privacy-compliant and future-proof
GDPR, cookie consent, third-party cookies disappearing — all of this makes tracking more complex. The right setup is future-proof: server-side tracking, first-party data, consent management. The setup we build works in 2026+ environments.
What is included in the tracking service?
Eight concrete work streams in conversion tracking — from GA4 setup to documentation and training.
-
Google Analytics 4 setup
Creating and configuring the GA4 property from scratch — or fixing an existing one. Standard settings, enhanced measurement, custom events, e-commerce events — all aligned with your business needs.
-
Google Tag Manager
Installing the GTM container on your site. All tags managed through GTM — to add a new event you don’t need developer help or to wait for a release.
-
Google Ads conversion tracking
Setting up conversions in Google Ads. Every purchase, inquiry, phone click is recorded directly in Google Ads — campaign optimization (Maximize Conversions, Target CPA) starts working properly.
-
E-commerce tracking
For online stores: Enhanced E-commerce setup. Measuring cart additions, abandoned carts, orders, revenue, AOV. All products and transactions.
-
Custom events
Creating custom events for your business specifics: phone clicks (tel: links), email clicks (mailto:), video views, file downloads, scroll depth.
-
Cookie consent integration
GDPR-compliant setup through Google Consent Mode v2. We integrate with your cookie consent banner (or recommend one if you don’t have it). Tracking starts only after user consent.
-
Cross-domain tracking
If you have multiple domains — store, blog, landing pages on separate subdomains or new domains — we set up cross-domain tracking. The user journey is visible across all domains as a single session.
-
Documentation and training
You get detailed documentation — what every event means, how to read reports, where to find what in GA4. Optional 1-hour training session on reading GA4 reports on your own.
What tools do we use?
Four core tools — three free, one premium for online stores and clients with larger budgets.
-
Google’s newest analytics tool, replacing the old Universal Analytics. Event-based model — every user interaction is an event. Flexible, AI-supported, privacy-friendly. Completely free.
-
Tag and tracking management system. Add, modify, remove tags without touching code or waiting for a release. No dependency on a developer friend. Completely free.
-
Direct integration with Google Ads through conversions. Conversions flow directly into the Google Ads optimization system (Smart Bidding) — algorithms make data-driven decisions on your behalf. Free.
-
The most accurate and future-proof method. Tracking runs through your server (Google Tag Manager Server Container), not the browser. Ad-blocker resistance, better accuracy, first-party setup. Recommended for online stores and larger clients. Included in the Premium plan.
What can be measured?
Six core metrics that drive every data-driven decision.
- 01
Sales and revenue
Exact number of orders + euro total revenue per channel.
- 02
Conversion rate (CR)
% of visitors who converted — by page and by channel.
- 03
Cost Per Acquisition
CPA — how much one real customer costs from each ad channel.
- 04
Return on Ad Spend
ROAS — how much euro back per ad euro. The main profitability metric.
- 05
Average Order Value
AOV — average cart size. Helps choose upsell and cross-sell strategies.
- 06
Funnel analysis
Where exactly users drop off the journey — which steps need optimization.
Who critically needs conversion tracking?
Four typical situations where conversion tracking turns from "nice to have" into a hard requirement.
- 01
Online stores
Without Enhanced E-commerce every ad decision is guessing. What we measure: products (view, add to cart, purchase), orders, revenue, AOV, abandoned-cart audience. Online store without conversion tracking = advertising in the dark.
- 02
Service businesses (lead generation)
B2B companies where sales happen through inquiries. We measure: form submissions, phone clicks, email clicks, file downloads. Every inquiry classified, ROI calculable by channel.
- 03
Multi-channel marketing
If you use Google Ads + Facebook Ads + SEO + email + organic social — conversion tracking shows which channel really brings sales. Often a surprise: the channel where you spend the most may not be the most profitable.
- 04
Everyone who pays for advertising
If you spend money on Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn, programmatic or other channels — you need conversion tracking. Otherwise you’re flying blind, where every budget decision is intuition. Investment in tracking pays off in the first month.
How our tracking process runs
Five steps — from audit and plan to documentation and training.
- 01
Audit and measurement plan
2–3 business daysWe look at your current setup (if any). Define together what your business needs to measure. Create a "measurement plan" document — clear list of events and KPIs.
- 02
GA4 + GTM installation
2–3 business daysCreate or fix the GA4 property from scratch. Install the GTM container on your site. Configure base events and enhanced measurement (scroll, outbound clicks, site search, video, file downloads).
- 03
Custom events and conversions
3–5 business daysCreate custom events per the measurement plan. Configure conversions in GA4 + Google Ads. E-commerce setup if you have a store.
- 04
Testing and verification
2–3 business daysTest every event: does it register correctly, does the conversion reach Google Ads, are the e-commerce numbers right. We use GTM Preview Mode + GA4 DebugView.
- 05
Documentation and training
1–2 business daysCreate detailed documentation. Optional 1-hour training session on reading GA4 reports.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between GA4 and Universal Analytics?
Universal Analytics (UA) was the old Google system, officially closed in July 2023. GA4 (Google Analytics 4) is the new system: event-based, more flexible, AI-friendly, privacy-friendly. All new setups today are on GA4.
Do I need Google Tag Manager?
Technically no — GA4 works without GTM. But GTM makes life much easier: you can add new events, modify existing ones, add other tags (Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, etc.) — all without developer help. We recommend GTM for everyone serious about tracking.
Is conversion tracking GDPR compliant?
Yes, when the setup is correct. We use Google’s official Consent Mode v2 framework, integrate with your cookie consent banner (or recommend one). Tracking starts only after user consent. All anonymized, IP masked.
Do you work with any e-commerce platform?
Yes. We work with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, BigCommerce, OpenCart and custom systems. Each platform has its quirks, but the GTM + dataLayer pattern works everywhere.
What is server-side tracking and do I need it?
Server-side tracking is the new standard: tracking runs through your server (Google Tag Manager Server Container), not directly through the browser. Advantages: significantly more accurate (not blocked by ad-blockers), more secure, future-proof (protected against third-party cookies disappearing). Recommended for online stores and clients with larger budgets (€1,000+/month).
How do I know tracking is working?
We give you full access to GA4 and GTM. You can see in real time how events register. Plus documentation: what every event means, source of each conversion. Every setup is tested through GTM Preview Mode + GA4 DebugView before going live.
What if I want to add new events later?
With GTM it’s simple — we can add new events without code changes. If you’re a Growth or Premium plan client, this is included in monthly management. In the Start plan — cost of a new event is calculated separately (typically €50–100).
