If Your Tracking Is Broken,
Your Ad Spend Is Blind

We set up GA4, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, and server-side CAPI so every purchase, add-to-cart, and micro-conversion is tracked accurately — giving your campaigns real data to scale with.

What We Set Up

Every Platform. Every Event.
Zero Data Gaps.

Conversion tracking isn't just installing a pixel. We configure every platform, every event, and every data layer correctly — so your reporting is reliable and your ad algorithms have clean signals to learn from.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We configure GA4 from scratch — proper ecommerce events, custom dimensions, and funnel reporting so you actually understand where customers drop off.

Meta Pixel & Events API

Browser pixels alone miss 30–40% of conversions due to iOS privacy changes. We implement both client-side Pixel and server-side Conversions API (CAPI) for maximum signal coverage.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

Smart Bidding only works when Google knows which clicks led to purchases. We set up accurate Google Ads conversion actions with the right values and attribution windows.

Google Tag Manager Setup

A clean, structured GTM container is the backbone of scalable tracking. We set it up properly — no messy tag soup, no duplicate firing, no random scripts breaking things.

Server-Side Tracking (sGTM)

Ad blockers and browser restrictions are eating your conversion data. Server-side GTM bypasses browser limitations entirely — sending events from your server to ad platforms reliably.

Attribution & Reporting Dashboard

Knowing which channel actually drove the sale is priceless. We set up cross-channel attribution and a reporting dashboard so you can make real budget decisions with real data.

Why It Matters

Bad Data Kills
Good Campaigns.

When your tracking is broken, your ad platforms are optimising for the wrong signals. Meta's algorithm thinks it found buyers — but it found bot clicks. Google's Smart Bidding is chasing ghost conversions. The fix isn't more budget, it's accurate data.

Before & After

What Broken Tracking Looks Like —
And What We Fix

Most ecommerce stores have at least 3 to 5 critical tracking errors. Here's what we find — and what accurate tracking looks like after we're done.

Without Proper Tracking
  • Purchases firing 2–3× due to GTM misfire — inflating ROAS by 60%
  • Meta Pixel missing 30–40% of purchases on iOS browsers
  • GA4 showing zero ecommerce events because data layer isn't configured
  • Google Ads "conversions" counting page views instead of purchases
  • No way to see which ad channel actually drove the sale
  • Smart Bidding optimising for the wrong audience signals
With Ecometrix Hub Tracking
  • Every purchase fires exactly once, with correct revenue value
  • Server-side CAPI captures iOS conversions browser pixel misses
  • GA4 ecommerce fully configured — funnel, drop-off, and revenue data
  • Google Ads conversion actions tied to actual purchases with real values
  • Cross-channel attribution dashboard showing true ROAS per channel
  • Smart Bidding getting clean, accurate signals to optimise spend

How It Works

From Broken Data to
Clean Tracking in Days

A structured process — every event planned, every platform configured, every tag tested. We don't go live until everything is verified.

01

Tracking Audit

We audit your existing tracking setup — GTM, GA4, Pixel, and ad platforms — and document every error, duplicate, and gap we find.

02

Setup Plan

We map every event you need, which platform it fires on, how it's structured in GTM, and which server-side flows need to be built.

03

Implementation

We build, configure, and test everything — GTM container, data layer, CAPI, GA4, and Google Ads. Preview mode testing before every publish.

04

Verify & Hand Off

We verify all events in each platform's native debug tools, set up your reporting dashboard, and monitor for 7 days post-launch.

Quick Answers

Common Questions About
Conversion Tracking

The questions most clients ask before we start.

Common signs include: GA4 showing zero or very low ecommerce events, Meta Events Manager showing low event match quality, Google Ads conversions that seem too high or don't match actual orders, or duplicate purchase events in any platform. If your reported ROAS looks great but actual revenue doesn't match, broken tracking is likely the culprit. We offer a free tracking audit to identify exactly what's wrong.

The Meta Pixel fires from the visitor's browser — but browser-based tracking is increasingly blocked by iOS privacy changes, Safari's ITP, and ad blockers. The Conversions API (CAPI) fires from your server directly to Meta, bypassing all browser restrictions entirely. Running both together — with proper event deduplication — is now the recommended approach. Stores using only the browser Pixel are typically missing 30 to 40% of their actual conversions.

We start with a full audit of your existing GTM container. If it's reasonably structured, we'll clean and build on it. If it's a mess of duplicated tags, outdated scripts, and broken triggers — which is common — we recommend rebuilding it cleanly from scratch. We'll always explain our recommendation before doing anything. Either way, nothing gets published without testing in Preview mode first.

Yes — we've set up tracking on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom-built stores. Each platform has different data layer structures and native integration quirks. Shopify, for example, has a native Pixel system that sometimes conflicts with GTM — we know how to handle that. We serve ecommerce stores in the UK and USA across all major platforms.

The tracking audit takes 24 to 48 hours. Full setup and implementation — including GA4, Meta Pixel, CAPI, Google Ads, GTM, and the reporting dashboard — typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Server-side GTM (sGTM) setup adds 2 to 3 days on top of that. We move quickly because every day with broken tracking is money you can't get back. Once we're live, we monitor for 7 days to catch any edge cases before handing over full control.
