What Does Analytics & Measurement Involve?

Measurement Planning for GA4

Good tracking isn’t just “on” or “off”. It needs to be structured.

We help you:

– Understand what KPIs matter for your business and the best way to track them effectively.

– Decide which events matter and which are just noise.

– Name events and conversions in a clear, human way.

– Decide which events are most important, to be marked as conversions.

– Make the most of GA4’s capabilities, without overloading you with jargon.

Planning makes reporting easier and avoids the “What on earth is event_123?” problem later.

GA4 & Google Ads Configuration

We set up tracking for the actions that matter to your business such as:

– Enquiries and lead forms

– Purchases and revenue

– Demo / trial requests or bookings

We make sure:

– Conversions are recorded once (not two or three times)

– They match what you see in your internal systems as closely as possible

– The same conversion is available in your analytics and your ad platforms (e.g. Google Ads, Meta, TikTok)

So when you see “100 conversions”, you know what that really means.

Google Tag Manager Implementation

Our GTM services typically include:

– Set up Google Tag Manager from scratch, or audit/fix what’s already there.

– Remove old, broken or duplicate tags that slow things down.

– Organise everything clearly (so it’s easy to understand later).

– Put in place sensible naming so events and conversions are easy to read.

– Test everything carefully before it goes live.

You don’t need to know how GTM works under the hood – that’s our job. You just need to know it’s reliable.

Server Side Tagging (Future-Proof Tracking)

Server-side tagging is a more resilient way to send data to platforms in an era where browsers and privacy controls are getting stricter.

In plain language, server-side tagging can:

– Make your tracking more consistent over time.

– Give you more control over what data is shared with which platform.

– Improve site performance by shifting some work off the browser.

We can:

– Help you decide if server-side tagging is worth it for your situation.

– Plan and implement a server-side infrastructure, migrating your existing setup.

Whether you want to use your own server, Google Cloud or a third-party like Stape – we can help.

Conversion Tracking for Ad Platforms

We’re not just about Google.

We work across all major platforms, including:

– Meta (Facebook & Instagram) pixels & events

– TikTok pixels & events

– LinkedIn insight tag & events

– Twitter/X pixels & events

– Klaviyo, HubSpot and other marketing / email tools

We make sure these pixels:

– Fire on the right pages and actions

– Use consistent events across platforms

– Feed the right data back into your campaigns for better optimisation later

Cookie Banner & Privacy Support

We’re not here to give legal advice, but we do make sure your tracking respects user choices and works properly with your consent tools.

We can:

– Integrate tracking with your existing cookie / consent banner (we’ve worked with a lot of different ones including One Trust, CookiePro, CookieHub, CookieBot, CookieYes, Didomi, UserCentrics & more).

– Ensure tags only fire when they should.

– Reduce “mystery tags” that you’re not sure you even need.

– Help you design a tracking set-up that balances data needs with user privacy.

– Ensure you’re maximising your first-party data collection in a compliant way.

Analytics & Measurement FAQs

Does GlowMetrics only work with Google tools?2025-11-21T18:03:43+00:00

No. We lean on Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics where it makes sense, but we’re platform-agnostic. We also set up and manage Meta and TikTok pixels, LinkedIn tags, and tracking for tools like Klaviyo and other CRMs or platforms. Our job is to choose the right mix for your goals, and make sure all the platforms are counting the same things in the same way.

We already have Google Analytics installed. Isn’t that enough?2025-12-03T16:06:12+00:00

Having Google Analytics installed is only the first step. Analytics is just a receiver – the quality of your reports depends on what’s being sent into it. Our work focuses on defining the right events and conversions, wiring them up correctly, and making sure they match your real-world results. That’s what turns “page views and sessions” into useful insights about leads, sales and revenue.

Do we need to rebuild everything from scratch?2025-11-21T18:02:16+00:00

Not necessarily. We start by auditing what you’ve already got in Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and your pixels. Anything that’s solid and well-structured, we keep. Anything that’s broken, duplicated or slowing things down, we fix or remove. The aim is a cleaner, more reliable setup – not a rebuild for the sake of it.

Why work with GlowMetrics on Analytics & Measurement?2025-12-03T16:02:16+00:00

We live and breathe measurement, but we explain it in normal language. As a Google Marketing Platform Partner (with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager certifications) and a Google Ads Partner, we know how to build tracking that platforms actually trust. We’re also comfortable across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and more, so we’re not tied to one tool. Most importantly, we focus on clear, reliable numbers you can use to make decisions – not just a clever-looking setup.

What does a typical Analytics & Measurement project look like at GlowMetrics?2025-12-03T16:01:24+00:00

Most projects follow a simple pattern: discover, audit, plan, implement, test, handover. We start by understanding your goals and current issues, then review your existing tracking and highlight what’s broken or missing. Next, we agree a straightforward tracking plan, set everything up in Google Tag Manager and your ad platforms, and test thoroughly. We finish with a clear handover so you know what’s in place, how it works, and what it means.

How Will GlowMetrics Work With Our Team?2025-11-21T18:01:31+00:00

We fit around how you’re set up. Some clients ask us to handle everything; others want us to guide their in-house dev or marketing team. Both are fine. We share simple tracking plans, explain what we’re doing and why, and keep communication clear and regular. You’ll always know what’s being implemented, where, and when.
