Without measurement, marketing is only an expense. Web analytics is the service that establishes which part of your advertising budget produced a result and which part simply burned. At PBDP we build the measurement infrastructure from scratch: a correctly configured Google Analytics 4 property, Search Console wired into it, real conversion events defined — calls, form submissions, add-to-cart, purchases — and, at the end of it, a dashboard a non-technical manager can read in two minutes. That same data is the basis for every recommendation we make in SEO and digital marketing services; without it, every proposal is a guess dressed up as strategy.

Raw data does not decide; the right report does

Most companies do not suffer from a shortage of data, but from an excess of unusable data. A dashboard with forty charts and no recommendation paralyses the manager instead of helping them. What we do is convert numbers into an actionable sentence: "product-page conversion on mobile fell from two per cent to one and a half because a survey widget is delaying the load; recommended action: remove it before the end of the week". Reaching that sentence requires three things: correct tracking, a properly agreed definition of conversion, and a sufficient statistical threshold. We build and document all three during the first project so that your own team can carry the work forward afterwards.

Measurement infrastructure: GA4, Search Console and events

Most accounts we inherit are installed wrongly or installed incompletely: no internal-traffic filter, no event definitions, no link to the advertising account, or a cookie banner that blocks collection without anyone noticing. We repair that foundation before writing a single report, where necessary inside the technical SEO workstream. The conversion funnel is then drawn page by page, from first visit to payment, and the exact screen where users disappear becomes visible. On stores the funnel ends at checkout; on service sites it ends at a form or a call, frequently measured on a purpose-built campaign landing page.

What you receive

• Complete setup: analytics platform, tag manager, Search Console integration, filters, currency and time-zone configuration done properly.
• Event definitions: micro and macro conversions with standard, documented naming so the data stays reliable years from now.
• Management dashboard: weekly and monthly view of traffic, leads, cost per conversion and revenue split by acquisition source.
• Campaign attribution: advertising spend tied to outcomes at both search level, covering Google Ads and PPC, and social level, covering social media marketing.
• Funnel analysis: exit pages identified and the fixes prioritised by revenue impact rather than by what is easiest to change.
• Interpretation session: a monthly presentation that explains the movement in the numbers and proposes the actions for next month — not merely a file transfer.

How we deliver it

1. Question first: we establish which business decision the data must support and which single figure counts as success.
2. Current-state audit: review of the existing configuration, the accuracy of collected data and the gaps in tracking.
3. Implementation: events installed and configured, every journey tested live, and correct recording verified before sign-off.
4. Reporting built: dashboards and automated reports assembled, with alert thresholds that flag sudden drops immediately.
5. Improvement loop: recommendations executed through content SEO strategy or through media buying, then measured again in the following cycle.

From monthly reporting to predictive decisions

Once six months of clean data exist, the question changes: not what happened, but what is about to. At that stage churn probability, seasonal demand and the optimal split of budget can be modelled with predictive analytics instead of intuition. For organisations running several digital units at once, the same reporting becomes the foundation of digital transformation consulting: large decisions taken on numbers that started being recorded correctly today.

Frequently asked questions

Is data collected reliably under sanctions and filtering?

Yes, with specific precautions. We configure collection routes on your own server through a stable proxy, keep a backup copy of events in an internal database, and where necessary rebuild reporting from server logs, so the business never depends on the availability of a single external tool.

Who are the reports written for?

You receive two versions: a one-page management view carrying the five headline metrics, and a detailed team report analysing channel, page and funnel behaviour. The split keeps a board meeting from collapsing into an argument about how each metric should be defined.

Can we read this data ourselves afterwards?

Yes. Every project closes with a training session and a written guide explaining how each metric is read and when it should start worrying you. That documentation forms part of what we deliver across our services.
