Modern stack, no legacy debt
GA4, server-side tracking, modern CMSs, current ad APIs. We're not still running an agency on tools from 2017.
Analytics in Detroit, Michigan
We've been working with Wayne County businesses long enough to know what Detroit customers respond to and what they ignore. Our Analytics work isn't generic — it's built around how the local economy actually buys.
What our Analytics program covers in Detroit
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)
Why Detroit businesses pick Relevant Domain
We've been working across the Midwest for years
Real relationships with Wayne County and Michigan businesses, not a national agency parachuting in with a templated playbook.
Outcome-based reporting, not vanity metrics
Every monthly report ties our work back to leads, bookings, or revenue — not just impressions and rankings.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Analytics in Detroit
Do Detroit 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.
Do you do attribution modeling?
Yes — first-touch, last-touch, position-based, and data-driven. We pick the model that matches your sales cycle, then we reality-check it against incrementality tests where possible.
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.
Do you work with businesses in Detroit specifically, or just remotely?
Both. We're headquartered in the Elkhart, Indiana area and serve businesses across the Midwest and Great Lakes — including Detroit and the broader Wayne County / Michigan market. For Detroit-area clients we'll come on-site for kickoff and quarterly reviews when it makes sense; day-to-day work happens over video and Slack like any modern agency.
