Get a clear understanding of, whether your tracking is working

Data may look accurate in a report but still provide you with an incorrect basis for prioritizing your marketing efforts. In a tracking audit, we review whether your tracking measures the actions that guide your marketing efforts. You’ll receive a plan for what needs to be corrected.

A fired roof isn't the same as data you can trust

 

Tracking can be set up in many ways. Some methods are more accurate than others. Setups can count conversions twice, trigger them for the wrong actions, or fail to forward them. Consent must also be handled correctly. The problem isn’t always visible in the reports. A tracking audit examines the quality of tracking on the site, whether consent and compliance are handled correctly, and whether the data can be used to inform the decisions you actually make.

What is a tracking audit?

 

A tracking audit is a systematic review of your existing tracking setup. We start with consent and the structure of the setup. We then evaluate the tools you use against best practices for each platform.

We track data all the way to GA4, Piwik PRO, Matomo, or another analytics tool and verify that it’s being recorded correctly. The result is a prioritized action plan that outlines what you should address immediately, what can wait, and whether a developer or specialist needs to be involved.

What do you get in a tracking audit?

We tailor the scope of the audit based on your setup and the decisions that the data is intended to support. Most audits cover four areas.

Data and Attribution

We assess whether your data is understandable and usable. This includes, among other things, sources, channel attribution, and the conversions you report on in Google Analytics 4.

GTM and tracking scripts

We review Google Tag Manager and tracking scripts, including marketing scripts and third-party scripts. We identify areas that need to be corrected.

Consent and Tracking Compliance

We review consent and tracking and highlight technical issues that should be addressed. Legal assessments are the responsibility of your legal advisor.

Platforms and integrations

We assess whether data and script integrations for Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn are functioning correctly, including server-side configuration.

Is a tracking audit The right next step?

An audit is most beneficial when you’re already tracking data and using it to manage your marketing efforts, budgets, or reporting. It’s also relevant if you’ve just relaunched your website, changed your purchase flow, or are migrating your tracking to a new setup. If you don’t yet have a setup that can be evaluated, you’ll likely need a new implementation. We’ll clarify this from the start so you don’t pay for a process that doesn’t fit your situation.
