For the CEO
The business value of correct analytics.
80% of GA4 configurations we audit have incorrect data: duplicate conversions, misconfigured events, no CRM integration. Decisions based on incorrect data = money lost.
Correct analytics means: knowing which channels generate real revenue (not just leads), justifying marketing budgets with data the CFO accepts, and GDPR compliance without losing insights.
The ROI is direct: reallocate budget from non-converting channels to converting ones, reduce manual reporting hours, and have confidence in data-driven decisions.
For the CTO
Analytics technical architecture.
GA4 + GTM Server-Side: First-party cookies from your domain. Ad blocker bypass without violating privacy. Full control over what data leaves your server. Cloud Run or App Engine for the container.
BigQuery export for raw data: unlimited retention (GA4 limits to 14 months), SQL queries for advanced analysis, foundation for ML/AI. Looker Studio connected for self-service dashboards.
Consent Mode v2: respects opt-out, activates conversion modeling for users without consent. CMP (Cookiebot, OneTrust) integrated with GTM. Auditable for DPO.

Frequently Asked Questions
What decision-makers ask.
Is my current tracking wrong?
Probably. 80% of GA4 configurations we audit have: duplicate events, misconfigured conversions, or missing critical event tracking. A 2h audit identifies the gaps.
Do I need server-side tracking?
Yes, if: you have a tech audience (high ad blocker usage), you do serious paid media (need precise data), or have strict GDPR requirements. For others, well-configured client-side with Consent Mode suffices.
How do you integrate with our CRM?
GA4 - BigQuery - your CRM via Zapier/Make/native integration. Or offline conversion import from CRM to GA4/Google Ads. Result: attribution to closed sale.
How do you comply with GDPR?
Three pillars: Consent Mode v2 implemented (respects opt-out), server-side giving you control over outgoing data, and legal documentation of data flows. We audit your CMP.
What about users who don't give consent?
Google offers conversion modeling to estimate behavior of users without consent. Consent Mode v2 activates this automatically. We complement with server-side analysis.
How much does server-side infrastructure cost?
Typically €20-100/month on Google Cloud depending on traffic. Positive ROI if you recover +10% of conversions you were losing to ad blockers.
Can I still use Universal Analytics?
No. Google discontinued UA in July 2023. If you haven't migrated to GA4, it's urgent. You're losing historical data that can't be recovered.
How long does implementation take?
Basic GA4: 2-3 weeks. With server-side and CRM: 4-6 weeks. Enterprise with BigQuery and advanced dashboards: 6-8 weeks. Includes training.
Do You Trust Your Data?
Free integrity validation. We audit your GA4/GTM configuration. If the data lies, strategy fails. Report in 48h.
