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 — price, timeline & scope

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.
