Why Marketing Numbers Stop Adding Up
GA4 Changed How You Count
GA4 is event-based and defines sessions and conversions differently from Universal Analytics. Reports that compare the two without adjustment mislead, so I document the definitions before comparing anything.
Tracking Breaks Quietly
Tag changes, consent banners and site updates silently break conversion tracking. A monthly check of key events prevents weeks of bad data.
Attribution Is a Range, Not a Number
No model is perfectly right. I use multi-touch attribution with Bizible or similar tools where possible, compare it with platform numbers and report the range along with the assumptions.
Dashboards Should Answer One Question Each
A dashboard crowded with forty charts answers nothing. I build views for each audience: executives, channel owners and sales.

Marketing Analytics Consultant Bay Area FAQ: Questions Buyers Ask
How much does marketing analytics consultant Bay Area cost?
Pricing for marketing analytics consultant Bay Area depends on scope. Most engagements start with a free consultation, then a paid audit, then a retainer or fixed project. You get a clear proposal before any work begins.
Is GA4 really worse than Universal Analytics?
It is different, not worse. GA4 is event-based and more flexible, but it needs deliberate setup. The defaults rarely match what a B2B team needs to report.
Can you connect GA4 to Salesforce?
Yes, through imports and offline conversions. The goal is to see which sources create opportunities, not just visits.
Which attribution model should I use?
I compare several models and pick the one that fits your sales cycle. Multi-touch models usually suit long B2B cycles, but I check them against closed-won data.
How do you check that tracking works?
I test each key event in a live session, compare counts with the platforms and the CRM, and set a monthly check.
What tools do you build dashboards in?
Looker Studio and Tableau, depending on your data sources and on who needs to read the results.
