Custom Reports and Dashboards

We create custom reports: a channel performance table (organic, CPC, direct, social), a real-time monitoring dashboard and a conversion measurement panel. Everything in a single screen view.

Server-Side Tracking

Modern browsers and iOS 14+ block some browser-sent data. Server-side tracking sends data directly from your server to Google and other platforms. Result: more accurate data collection. We set up the Google Cloud project, GTM Server container and API integration with your system.
