Tracking & analytics setup
We set up tracking and analytics for each ad channel: goals/events, linking accounts with analytics systems, correct conversions, per-channel dashboards. Honestly and bluntly upfront: this is about reliable MEASUREMENT, NOT advertising and not sales growth. Analytics shows what is happening and helps decide — but it does not bring customers itself. Critically: we account for privacy/consent (152-FZ/GDPR), and honestly — different systems count differently, discrepancies are normal. Without promises of metric growth from the analytics setup itself.
Tracking & analytics setup — overview

Tracking & analytics setup is the end-to-end setup of measurement for each channel: goals and events in analytics systems (Yandex Metrica/GA4, etc.), linking ad accounts with analytics, correct transmission of conversions and their value, source tagging (UTM — 461), setting up per-channel reports/dashboards, checking data reliability. The work: auditing current tracking, an event/goal plan by channel, implementation, validation, documentation. Honestly about 'this is measurement, not advertising and not sales', this is key: analytics gives visibility — what works, where traffic and conversions come from, where money is lost. But the analytics setup itself does not bring customers and does not increase sales; it helps make decisions, and the result is delivered by advertising, the offer and the product. 'We set up analytics — sales will grow' = a lie (visibility and decision quality will grow, not sales directly). Honestly about privacy/consent, this is critical: we set up data collection accounting for the law (152-FZ/GDPR, cookie consent, policy), without hidden surveillance and without transmitting prohibited data. Honestly about 'discrepancies between systems are normal': ad accounts, Metrica/GA4 and CRM count differently (attribution windows, deduplication, cookie, bot filters); full agreement is unattainable — we explain the discrepancies rather than hide them. Honestly about 'depends on correctness': incorrectly set up events/duplicates distort data and decisions worse than their absence; that is why we validate. Honestly about 'reliability is limited by privacy': part of the data is not tracked (blockers, cross-device, offline) — there are blind spots in the data. Honestly about 'not equal to end-to-end attribution': this is basic per-channel tracking; multichannel attribution/linking with revenue is a separate task (468). Honestly about the effect: it sets up reliable per-channel tracking and analytics with privacy consideration and validation, giving visibility and a basis for decisions, but this is measurement, not advertising/sales growth; system discrepancies are normal; reliability is limited by privacy. Honestly about access: access to the site/GTM, ad accounts, analytics systems, a legal basis (consent/policy) are needed. An important boundary: this is per-channel tracking/analytics; pixel/CAPI (events) — 460; UTM — 461; end-to-end attribution — 468. The base price starts from 22,000 ₽ for setup (depends on the number of channels/events).
Problems we solve
- There is no reliable per-channel analytics — advertising and decisions are blind.
- A misconception that the analytics setup by itself increases sales (it is measurement).
- Data collection without accounting for consent/the law (152-FZ/GDPR) — a risk of a fine/block.
- Incorrect events/duplicates distort data; system discrepancies are taken for an 'error'.

FAQ
Will you set up analytics — and sales will grow?
Not directly, honestly: analytics gives visibility (what works, where traffic/conversions come from, where money is lost) and helps decide. But the setup itself does not bring customers and does not increase sales — the result is delivered by advertising, the offer and the product. Decision quality will grow, not sales directly. 'We set up analytics — sales will grow' is a deception.
Why don't the data in different systems match?
This is normal, honestly: ad accounts, Metrica/GA4 and CRM count differently (attribution windows, deduplication, cookie/privacy, bot filters, offline). Full agreement is unattainable — this is not an 'error' but the nature of the data. We will honestly explain the discrepancies and reconcile the data as far as is correct.
Is data collection legal? Is consent needed?
We set it up by the law, honestly: collecting user data requires consent and compliance (152-FZ/GDPR, cookie consent, privacy policy). We do not do hidden surveillance and do not transmit prohibited data. We will honestly say what is legally needed; plus part of the data is not tracked due to privacy (blockers, offline) — there will be blind spots in the data.
