We push back when we should
If a tactic won't work for your business, we'll tell you — even when it costs us scope. Honest scope beats expensive surprises.
Analytics in Columbus, Ohio
If you've already tried Analytics with another Columbus-area shop and it didn't move the number, we'd like to see the data. Most often the strategy was sound but the measurement was broken — and that's the first thing we fix.
What our Analytics program covers in Columbus
We build analytics stacks that the next platform change won't break. Server-side GA4 via Google Tag Manager, conversions written into your warehouse, and dashboards that answer business questions — not just expose metrics. If your current setup gives you different revenue numbers in three different tools, that's a problem we fix in the first 30 days.
- GA4 implementation and event-schema design
- Server-side Google Tag Manager (sGTM) on a custom subdomain
- Warehouse pipelines (BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres) from ad and CRM data
- Looker Studio and Tableau dashboard builds
- Cross-domain and subdomain tracking setup
- Privacy-compliant consent management (GDPR, CPRA)

Frequently asked questions about Analytics in Columbus
Do Columbus small businesses really need server-side tracking?
If you're spending $3K+/month on paid media, yes — iOS 14, ad blockers, and 3rd-party cookie deprecation are all chipping away at client-side tracking accuracy. The cost is modest (typically under $50/month in Cloud Run) and the data quality lift is meaningful.
Can you connect our offline data?
Yes — POS, CRM, call tracking, and ERP data can all feed into the warehouse and inform digital campaign optimization. This is where most reporting gets interesting.
Will I own the analytics setup?
Yes. Everything lives in your GA4, your GTM, your warehouse, and your dashboards. We document configurations in a runbook your team keeps.
How do you handle privacy and consent?
Consent Mode v2 in GA4, a real consent banner (not a fake one), and respect for the user's choice end-to-end. We can implement OneTrust, Cookiebot, or Iubenda depending on your jurisdiction.
How quickly can we get started in Columbus?
Most engagements kick off within 2 weeks of a signed scope. The 14 days are spent on access provisioning, baseline measurement, and stakeholder interviews so the work that follows isn't blind.
