Google Analytics Consultant

Tracking You Can Verify Yourself

A Google Analytics consultant sets up GA4 so the numbers match what the business actually sells. I test each event by hand, tie leads to the form or call that produced them and show you the proof in your own account.

Google Analytics 4 Setup Services

Google Analytics 4 counts events, not page views. Every form submit, phone tap, booked consult and purchase is an event that someone has to define, name and test. When that work is skipped or done in a hurry, the report looks complete and says very little about what the business earned.

I set up GA4 around the actions your business cares about, then check each one against a real submission. The result is an account where a lead in the report is a lead in the inbox, and where a figure that looks wrong can be traced back to the tag that produced it.

Who Needs a Google Analytics Consultant

Owners who see numbers they cannot trust

The owner I write for usually has an account that was set up years ago, by a web developer or a marketing agency that has since moved on. The reports arrive on schedule, the charts look professional and the leads in the report do not match the leads in the inbox. That gap is the reason to hire a consultant.

Agencies that inherit a client account also come to me, usually after the business questions the first monthly report. The question is then not how the tool works, but why the number changed and whether the change is real.

Other owners are launching a new site or a new service and want the measurement right from the first day. Both groups need the same thing: a setup they can explain and a person who can answer what each number means.

The Fear of Analytics Nobody Trusts

Numbers that look right and are wrong

The fear is that the account says one thing, the sales records say another, and nobody can say which to believe. That fear is well founded. A common cause is a form that fires twice, a phone number that is counted as a website visit or a booking widget that sends no event at all.

The way out is to test each path the way a buyer would use it, then compare the count with the sales record for the same week. Where the two disagree, the difference is explained in writing before any new decision is made from the report. A useful first check is to read the last five leads from the inbox aloud and compare that list with the report. The mismatch usually shows in the first comparison.

What a Tracking Plan Contains

The written plan behind every event

A tracking plan is a short document that lists every event, what triggers it, what it is called and which report uses it. It is the reference the firm keeps when a new page is built, so the next change does not break the count.

  • Each conversion, with the page and the action that triggers it
  • The event name, written the same way across the site
  • The tool that receives each event and the tag that sends it
  • The test used to confirm it works, with the date it passed
  • The owner who approves a change to the event

How an Analytics Audit Runs

How the audit moves from access to fixes

  1. Step 01

    Step one: access review

    I check the accounts the business owns, the people who have access and the tags on the site, without changing anything yet.

  2. Step 02

    Step two: the event test

    Every conversion is tested by hand on the site, including the forms, phone links and booking steps, and the results are recorded.

  3. Step 03

    Step three: the sales match

    The event counts for a sample period are compared with the sales or booking records, so each gap has a named cause.

  4. Step 04

    Step four: the fix list

    Each problem is listed with the fix, the effort it takes and the report it affects. Changes are made in batches, with a test after each batch.

Event Audit Sample

What a finished audit looks like

The table below shows the kind of findings a tracking audit produces. Each row is one problem, the way it was found and the fix that was made. The full audit has one row for every conversion on the site.

A sample audit checks ten recent sessions from start to finish: the landing page, each key click, the form submit and the thank-you page. Any event that fires in the wrong order or without a value is logged and fixed before the report goes live.

Booking widget silentCompleted a test booking and found no eventBooking confirmation event set up and matched to the calendar
Internal traffic in reportsCompared visits from the office network with the reportInternal traffic filter set and tested

Google Tag Manager Setup

One container for every tag

Google Tag Manager holds the tags for analytics, ads and other tools in one container, so a change is made in one place and tested before it is published. Each tag has a trigger, a name and a note. Old tags that no longer report are removed rather than left to fire silently.

Tags are managed in one container with a named owner, a change log and a test mode. Each tag has a purpose written next to it, so a stale tag gets found during the monthly review instead of years later.

Conversions That Match Real Leads

Counting what the business sells

A conversion should mean something a sales person can act on. A page view on the pricing page is a signal. A booked consult is a conversion. The analytics setup marks only the second as a key event, and keeps the first as supporting data so it does not inflate the count.

Where the business uses a booking system or a customer tool, the setup checks that the same lead appears in both places under the same name, so the report and the inbox agree.

Consent and Privacy Settings

Measurement that respects the visitor

Consent settings decide what data a visitor's browser can send to the analytics tools. The setup follows the consent choices the business has made and the wording in its privacy policy. The business owner decides the policy; I set the tools to match it and document the result.

This is technical configuration, not legal advice. If a question about consent or data rules comes up, the business should check it with the person who writes its policy. Where a visitor declines analytics, the report shows a smaller count and says so, rather than filling the gap with estimates presented as fact.

Consent settings are checked against the banner the site actually shows. Any tag that fires before consent is recorded as a finding, and the fix is logged with the date it went live.

Attribution Settings That Hold Up

Credit given by one agreed rule

Attribution decides which channel gets credit for a lead that touched more than one page. GA4 offers its own model and the ad platforms offer theirs, and the two rarely agree. The setup picks one rule for the business, writes it down and applies it in every report, so a month-to-month comparison means the same thing each time.

The lookback window is set to match how long buyers in the business's market take to decide. A window that is too short credits the last visit and ignores the research that came before it. A window that is too long credits old visits for a lead that came from somewhere else. The chosen window is shown on every report that uses it.

Cross-domain links, such as a booking widget hosted on another domain, are tested so the visit is not counted as a new visitor partway through the buyer's path. Where that cannot be fixed, the report says so, and the gap is listed as a known limit.

Reports That Match the Sales Count

The reports are built around the questions an owner asks each month: how many leads came in, where they came from, which pages drew them and how long they took to answer. Each report links a number to the event it comes from, so a question about one figure is answered in one click.

Each report has a note at the top that lists the date range, any test data removed and any known gaps. An owner who opens the report in a year can see what the numbers were built from, and a change to the setup is recorded in the same note.

The sales report is built from the same definitions the owner uses on calls, so a lead that the team counts as qualified appears as qualified in the dashboard too.

GIOSTAR homepage, a website I built

A report the owner can read

  1. Step 01

    Leads by source

    Qualified leads grouped by the channel or page that brought them, using the same names as the sales record.

  2. Step 02

    Leads by page

    Which pages drew the most form submits and calls, and which drew visitors who left without acting.

  3. Step 03

    Answer time

    How long each lead waited for a first reply, pulled from the same timestamps the sales record uses.

GA4 Cleanup and Filters

Removing the noise from the count

Older accounts often carry filters, referral exclusions and duplicate properties that distort the count. A cleanup removes the ones that do not serve the business, documents the ones that stay and tests the result against a known week of sales. Historical data is kept and marked, so the change is visible rather than silent.

The cleanup list is ordered by how much each problem distorts the lead count, so the most damaging issues are fixed first and the cosmetic ones are left for last.

Old filters, duplicate properties and test traffic get removed in the first month. Internal visits are excluded by rule, so the team's own testing does not inflate the numbers the owner reads each week.

GIOSTAR: the clinic website, booking and lead tracking

I built and run giostarwellness.com for a regenerative medicine and wellness clinic in Henderson: every service page, online booking, financing and a blog. A website lead is tracked end to end, from the form to a booked consult to an active patient, with no manual steps. I also built its live brand hub, so every page, post and print piece pulls the same colours, type and rules.

    After going back and forth on whether to bring in outside help, we ended up working with Justin for some AI consulting on how to structure our operations. He laid out a clear plan, didn't overcomplicate it, and we've been running smoother since. Good fit for a service business. He knows Las Vegas and he knows this stuff.

    Justin joined our team a few months before opening to replace a marketing agency that wasn’t performing. He stepped up fast. Within weeks he launched a fully redesigned website with new brand guidelines, built and delivered our marketing plan and AI strategy, and helped implement our system architecture so we could open on time. Since then, he’s made several critical enhancements to the site that helped us generate revenue in our first month. His engagement was supposed to end at opening, but he became such an integral part of our leadership team that we kept him on to help evolve our marketing and tech strategy as we grow. He’s easy to work with, pushes back when it matters, and moves easily between strategy, delivery, and operations depending on what’s needed. If you’re looking for a deeply experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated marketing, AI, or technology consultant, I highly recommend Justin Harris AI Consulting.

What Clients Said About My Work

Plain answers on hard questions

Yaneliz M. wrote that I "didn't overcomplicate it" when she asked for advice on AI automation. Analytics is the same kind of work. Owners do not need to understand every setting, but they should be able to ask what a number means and get a straight answer that they can check.

What a Monthly Review Covers

A short check that keeps counts honest

A monthly review is a short call with the owner and a read of the report notes. It checks that the lead count still matches the sales record, that no new page has added an unnamed event, and that the consent and privacy settings still match the policy.

The review also asks one question about each figure in the report: what decision would change if this number moved by a fifth. Figures that could not change a decision are dropped from the next report, so the owner reads fewer charts and trusts the ones left.

  • Lead count checked against the sales or booking record
  • New pages and forms checked for unnamed events
  • Consent and privacy settings checked against the policy
  • One decision recorded for each figure that matters

How Much Does Analytics Setup Cost

How the quote is built

I quote a fixed price for a written scope after a free look at the current accounts, tags and conversions. The scope lists every event, every tool connected and every report built, so the business knows the cost of the setup and the cost of any cleanup before work starts.

Ongoing review is quoted separately and only if the business asks for it. A well-documented setup usually needs a short check each quarter, and that check is scoped in writing with its own list of items.

  • Tools connected, such as booking, call tracking or a customer relationship tool
  • Cleanup of an existing account, if one is needed

Local Owners in the Valley

Where I meet business owners

Owners in the Valley can meet me at their office when a tracking review needs both the owner and the person who runs the site in the room. The rest of the work runs inside the accounts the business owns, so a remote review is common and just as thorough.

Most of the owners I work with run a service business with a small team and no analyst. They need a report that answers three questions each week: where new calls came from, which pages led to them and what changed since the last review.

Google Analytics Consultant Cost and Timing

Cost, timing and the scope

Search for a consultant who can name each event, show the tag plan and explain every filter in plain words. That combination matters more than the number of tools a firm uses.

Analytics Questions Owners Ask

Questions asked before a setup

Owners ask about data privacy, report access and how long setup takes. The answers below cover consent, who holds the login and what a first month of tracking looks like.

Reading an Analytics Report Without Guessing

Each number needs a definition

A report full of sessions, engagement rates and conversions can look convincing and still answer nothing. Before I build a dashboard, I write a one-line definition for each metric, the event that feeds it and the team member who acts on it. A number without a definition and an owner is removed from the report.

The report also names the gaps. If a conversion event fires twice, or the consent banner blocks a share of visits, the report shows the size of that gap next to the number. An owner can then read the trend knowing how much to trust it.
