Why Get a Google Analytics Audit?
A Google Analytics audit compares what GA4 reports against what your business actually earned, finds every place the two disagree, and tells you what each gap is costing you. Ours is free, it runs on view-only access, and you get the written report.
GA4 never tells you when it is wrong. It reports a number either way, and that number looks just as confident when the tracking behind it broke three months ago. An audit is the only way to find out which of your numbers you can spend against.
What the audit finds
- Where GA4, your store and your processor disagree, and which of the three numbers to trust
- Whether conversions get counted once, twice, or at the wrong step in your funnel
- Whether revenue and lifetime value data reaches GA4 at all, or stops at the session
- What a real CRM sync would need, instead of the CSV export somebody does by hand
- Which events are broken right now, and how long they have been broken
- Where your event naming makes routine questions expensive, so a simple answer takes an afternoon
How it works
You grant view-only
access
Two minutes in your GA4 admin. Viewer access lets us read your data and change nothing: we cannot edit your setup, delete anything, or see your billing. You can remove the access with two clicks whenever you want.
We audit your Google Analytics against four checks
Tracking accuracy. We compare GA4 conversions against what you actually earned, and find every event that is missing, duplicated, or firing at the wrong moment. Configuration. Tag Manager setup, cross-domain measurement, referral exclusions. Data quality. Bot traffic, unfiltered internal traffic, spam referrals. Missed opportunities. Custom dimensions, enhanced measurement and integrations you are paying for and not reading.
You get the report, then we walk it with you
A written report naming every issue we found, what it costs you, and the order to fix them in. Once you have read it, we book a business review call and go through the findings together. The report is yours either way. Plenty of people take it and fix things themselves, which is a fine outcome.
GA4 is not plug and play. Nobody is going to tell you it broke. Get the free GA4 audit, find out where you stand, and decide what to do from there.
Our proven 4 step process for Optimizing Your Google Analytics
Step 1
Business review
What we audit:
Your business model and conversion events to determine exactly what needs tracking for GA4 to actually be useful.
Why this matters:
Generic GA4 setups track pageviews and button clicks. We track what actually drives revenue product views, add-to-carts, checkout steps, form submissions specific to your business.
Step 2
Create strategy
What we plan:
Full GA4 implementation roadmap including event taxonomy, conversion tracking, ecommerce tracking, and custom dimensions.
Deliverables:
Technical specification document showing every event, parameter, and integration required before we write a single line of code.
Step 3
Implement
What we build:
Complete GA4 configuration including Google Tag Manager setup, server-side tracking (when needed), ecommerce tracking, and cross-domain measurement.
Timeline:
3-6 weeks depending on complexity we don’t rush implementation because mistakes cost you accurate data forever.
Step 4
Optimize
What happens next:
Monthly audits to catch tracking issues, new feature configuration as your business evolves, and ongoing optimization.
Result:
GA4 that actually works, data you can trust, and insights that drive revenue decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you integrate Google Analytics with Salesforce and other CRM systems?
Yes, CRM integration is critical for understanding marketing ROI.
Salesforce integration connects GA4 campaign data to leads and opportunities, showing which marketing channels drive actual revenue, not just form fills. Implementation takes 3-5 weeks depending on complexity.
HubSpot integration syncs contact properties, campaign attribution, and deal-stage data bidirectionally.
Common use cases: Import GA4 conversion data into CRM for lead scoring, push CRM deal values back to GA4 for accurate ROI, create audiences in GA4 based on CRM segments for remarketing. Challenge: CRM integrations require custom configuration—GA4’s native CRM connections are limited and often miss critical data. Expert implementation ensures proper field mapping and data validation.
How long does GA4 implementation take?
Timeline depends on complexity:
Basic website (blog, simple lead gen): 2-3 weeks for GA4 setup, event configuration, and basic conversion tracking.
Ecommerce store (Shopify, WooCommerce): 3-5 weeks including product tracking, checkout funnel, revenue attribution, and testing.
Complex business (multi-domain, app+web, CRM integration): 6-10 weeks for complete implementation with custom reporting.
Enterprise migration (multiple properties, data governance, training): 10-16 weeks. Rushing GA4 implementation causes permanent data quality issues—you can’t retroactively fix tracking. Better to take 6 weeks and get it right than launch in 2 weeks with broken tracking that costs you accurate data forever.
What's included in a Google Analytics audit?
Our GA4 audit identifies:
(1) Tracking accuracy—compare GA4 conversions to actual revenue, find missing or duplicated events, validate ecommerce tracking.
(2) Configuration issues—incorrect Google Tag Manager setup, missing cross-domain parameters, improper referral exclusions.
(3) Data quality problems—bot traffic inflating metrics, internal traffic not filtered, spam referrals.
(4) Missed opportunities—unused custom dimensions, unconfigured enhanced measurement, missing integrations.
Deliverable: 15-20 page audit report with specific issues found, revenue impact, and prioritized recommendations. Most audits uncover $5K-25K in wasted ad spend from incorrect attribution or 10-30% data loss from tracking gaps.
Do you provide Google Analytics training for our team?
Yes. Team training on the GA4 interface is included as part of our Active Optimization and Full Analytics Partnership support tiers. Training covers how to navigate GA4, read custom reports, and interpret data for your specific business goals.
Can GA4 track multiple domains and subdomains?
Yes, but requires proper cross-domain configuration.
Challenge: By default, GA4 treats each domain as separate traffic source—user going from blog.yoursite.com to shop.yoursite.com looks like two different visitors.
Solution: Cross-domain measurement connects user journey across domains using linker parameters.
Configuration includes:
(1) Same GA4 measurement ID on all domains,
(2) Cross-domain tracking in Google Tag Manager,
(3) Referral exclusion list preventing self-referrals,
(4) Testing to validate user ID persistence.
Common mistakes: Forgetting to exclude domains from referrals (making your own site appear as traffic source), not configuring subdomain cookie sharing, missing domains in linker setup. Expert implementation ensures seamless tracking across your entire web presence.
What kind of ongoing support do you provide after GA4 setup?
GA4 isn’t “set and forget”—ongoing management prevents data quality decay.
Support tiers:
- Monitoring only — monthly audits catching tracking breaks, Google Tag Manager updates, event validation.
- Active optimization — new event creation, custom reporting, integration maintenance, team training, quarterly strategy reviews.
- Full analytics partnership — complete analytics management including advanced analysis, predictive modeling, executive reporting, marketing attribution.
Why ongoing support matters: Your website changes (breaking tracking), Google updates GA4 features, marketing campaigns need new tracking parameters, and business goals evolve requiring new conversions. Budget 15-20% of implementation cost annually for maintenance minimum.
