Analytics & Attribution Setup

Know What's Actually Driving Growth

Your marketing dashboard shows 2,847 website visitors, 156 email opens, and 23 social media clicks, but you can’t connect any of these metrics to actual revenue. Without proper attribution, you’re flying blind—spending money on activities that feel productive but don’t drive business results.

The Measurement Reality: Companies with advanced analytics are 5x more likely to make faster decisions and 3x more likely to execute them successfully. But 67% of businesses can’t accurately attribute revenue to specific marketing activities.

Why Most Analytics Setups Are Broken

Your Google Analytics probably shows website traffic and basic conversion tracking, but it doesn’t connect marketing activities to customer lifetime value or revenue attribution. Most analytics setups fail because they:

  • Track vanity metrics instead of business metrics
  • Can’t connect multi-touch customer journeys
  • Don’t integrate with sales and customer data
  • Lack proper event tracking and goal configuration

Proper attribution answers the question: “Which marketing activities actually generate profitable customers?”
