Conversion Tracking Kit: cover and inside pages
Sound familiar

Tracking that grew one tag at a time, with no plan behind it

Most setups weren't designed; they were added piece by piece, by different people, over several years.

No agreed source of truth

We’ve never decided which system our budget decisions should come from.

Cheap leads, unhappy sales

Our leads look cheap, but sales says many of them aren’t worth a call.

A container nobody owns

Someone set up Tag Manager years ago, and nobody knows what’s in it now.

Browser and server events

We added the Conversions API, and I’m not sure it’s set up to deduplicate with the pixel.

Tracking that stopped quietly

We changed the checkout, and weeks later found the purchase tag had stopped firing.

Too many new settings

Consent mode, enhanced conversions, server-side: I don’t know which of these we actually need.

10%

median increase in conversions for advertisers who sent first-party data, such as email and phone, alongside click IDs in their offline imports, compared with standard imports.

After you work through it

What you will have running when you finish

  • A measurement plan, with naming and values, agreed before anyone touches a tag
  • GA4, Tag Manager and consent mode set up so your data is complete and readable
  • Purchases and leads that fire once, on success, with the right value, on Shopify, WooCommerce or any CMS
  • Meta and TikTok browser and server events that deduplicate, and Google Ads with enhanced conversions
  • Qualified leads and sales sent back from your CRM, and one source of truth for business results
From our work

The same tracking work we do for clients

Both projects appear in the kit and are written up on our site, with the numbers.

ONLINE SALES

From 0 to 115 recorded purchases within weeks

A body makeup brand cleaned its Google Ads conversions to purchases only and removed duplicates, then bought purchases at $13.87 each.

LEAD GENERATION

2,153 vehicles sold in a year, tracked in the CRM

A used-car dealer group rebuilt its forms with one conversion action each and sent CRM records back into Google, so bidding learned from applications.

Is it right for you

Who gets the most from it

Made for you if

  • You own the business or market it in-house, run paid ads, and want numbers you can act on
  • You are a freelancer or junior marketer who sets up tracking for clients and wants one standard process
  • You are a developer asked to "add the tracking" and want an exact specification

Probably not for you if

  • You need app tracking with Firebase or app SDKs
  • You model data in a warehouse or build multi-touch attribution across business units
  • You want a ready-made importable GTM container, or legal advice on privacy

How to use it

STEP 1

Start with the plan

Fill in chapter 1 and the workbook’s plan tab: what counts as success, the names and the values.

STEP 2

Build the foundations

Set up GA4, Tag Manager and consent mode, then your store path or your lead events.

STEP 3

Connect the ad platforms

Add Meta, TikTok and Google Ads, send CRM outcomes back, then set your UTMs and source of truth.

STEP 4

Test, then maintain

Run the 60-point launch QA, give the data a week to settle, then do the 20 monthly checks.

Plan on one to two working days for a lead-gen site and two to four for a store with server-side events. The workbook works in Excel and Google Sheets, the brief in Word and Google Docs. No macros, no plugins.

Questions

What owners and marketers ask before they download

A 73-page PDF with clickable links, an .xlsx workbook that works in Excel and Google Sheets, and a .docx brief you can edit in Word or Google Docs. No macros and no plugins.

Owners, in-house marketers, freelancers and developers working on lead-gen sites or online stores that run ads on Google, Meta or TikTok. For custom stores or server-side setups, the developer brief tells a developer exactly what to build.

No, on purpose. Every tag, trigger and variable is written out as a recipe you rebuild in 5 to 15 minutes, so your container uses your names and only what your site needs.

Yes. Each has its own chapter: Shopify's native apps and custom pixels, and WooCommerce's official plugins or GTM4WP with your own container. Lead-gen sites on any CMS are covered too.

The download links appear on screen as soon as payment completes, and the same links arrive by email. They keep working, so you can download again later.
