Measurement and tracking

Make revenue reporting useful enough to act on. Start with the outcome definition, then examine collection, consent and attribution.

Choose a useful starting point

If analytics revenue does not match your store, begin with the revenue-discrepancy guide and align the definitions before changing tags. If you are planning a new setup, start with the GA4 implementation guide. Conversion tracking, Tag Manager and server-side tagging explain different parts of collection; attribution explains how observed outcomes are assigned.

Frequently asked questions

How should we use this section?

A useful measurement brief states the business question, the outcome definition and the acceptance checks. Bring the report that is unclear and the decision it affects when you discuss a review. The team can then distinguish a collection fault from a reporting or commercial-definition issue.

What if we need help applying the guidance?

Use the linked guides and service pages to understand the scope, then describe your business challenge. A definition or example explains an approach; it is not a diagnosis of your own implementation.

Conversion tracking

Conversion tracking records useful business actions, such as purchases or submitted enquiries. It helps you assess marketing only when the action, value and counting rules are clearly defined.

Enhanced conversions

Enhanced conversions helps Google Ads connect recorded conversions with eligible customer information collected by your business. Supported information is hashed before use: transformed into a coded value. This is a measurement feature, not an automatic privacy approval.

First-party data

First-party data is information collected through your business’s own customer relationships and interactions, such as order history or communication preferences. Its usefulness depends on accuracy and appropriate permissions.

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) helps you understand what shoppers do on your website: what they view, where they leave and which purchases your tracking records. It is an analytics tool, not the store’s order book.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager (GTM) helps manage the tracking tools on your website. It controls which tags run, when they run and which information they use. A tag is a small piece of code that performs a task such as sending a measurement event.

Marketing attribution

Marketing attribution decides which recorded marketing interactions receive credit for a purchase or enquiry. Different systems can credit the same order, so their revenue totals should not be added together.
