We help our Clients to ensure they are workind from accurate data with proper tracking implementation. It is amazing how many businesses we encounter that don't have this fundamental setup correct.
Accurate tracking is the foundation of a successful PPC strategy, providing the critical data needed to measure performance, optimise campaigns, and maximise return on investment (ROI). Without properly implemented tracking scripts, businesses risk making decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate data, leading to wasted Ad spend and missed opportunities.
A PPC audit ensures that all conversion tracking, event tracking, and attribution models are correctly set up, allowing for precise measurement of key metrics such as conversions, cost per acquisition (CPA), and return on ad spend (ROAS). Without these insights, it's nearly impossible to identify which campaigns, keywords, or ad creatives are truly driving results.
One of the most common issues in PPC tracking is misconfigured or missing tracking codes, such as Google Ads conversion tracking, Google Analytics goals, and Meta Pixel. An audit helps identify discrepancies, such as duplicate conversions, underreporting, or untracked user actions, which can distort campaign performance analysis. Our e-commerce experts ensure that you have well implemented scripts and that the right data is tracked for every important user interaction.
Correct Implementation of Tracking Tools
Proper script implementation ensures that every critical user interaction - whether it's a form submission, phone call, or purchase - is accurately captured and recorded.
Additionally, enhanced tracking setups, like Google Tag Manager (GTM) and server-side tracking, offer more control and reliability in an era where privacy regulations and browser restrictions impact traditional tracking methods.
Beyond data accuracy, correct tracking implementation enables us to implement advanced campaign optimisation and automation tactics. With reliable data, we can leverage smart bidding strategies, audience segmentation, and remarketing campaigns for your business more effectively.
Cross Device And Cross Platform
In today's multi-device digital landscape, users interact with Ads across various platforms before converting. Without proper cross-device and cross-platform tracking, it's easy to lose visibility into customer journeys and misattribute conversions, leading to inefficient Ad spend and missed optimisation opportunities.
Implementing advanced tracking scripts, such as Google Ads cross-device tracking, Google Analytics 4 (GA4), and Meta Pixel, ensures that we can accurately track your user's behavior across mobile, desktop, tablets, and even offline interactions.
This holistic approach allows us to understand how different touchpoints contribute to conversions, and we can then refine your bidding and targeting strategies accordingly.
Enhanced Tracking Features
Enhanced tracking features, such as server-side tracking and first-party data collection, further improve data accuracy and privacy compliance.
- Server-side tracking, implemented through platforms like Google Tag Manager (GTM) Server-Side or Facebook's Conversions API, helps bypass these limitations by sending data directly from the server to Ad platforms.
- Smart bidding strategies, such as Target ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) and Maximise Conversions
- More effective audience segmentation, and personalised ad experiences
Setting Up Proper Tagging
By auditing and correctly implementing Google Tag Manager for your tracking scripts, you gain the ability to make data-driven decisions, reduce wasted ad spend, and continuously refine your PPC strategy for improved performance. If you're not confident in your current Tag Manager and tracking setup, an audit is the first step toward unlocking the full potential of your advertising efforts.
Our team are experienced at streamlining and fixing the tagging issues that often result from a historic trail of agencies and employees implementing various different methods and not completing housekeeping to clean up old scripts.
GDPR And Privacy Considerations
As a leading PPC agency, we prioritise data privacy and ensure that all PPC campaigns comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR governs how user data is collected, stored, and processed, making it essential for advertisers to follow strict guidelines when running paid campaigns.
Our approach includes implementing cookie consent management, secure data handling, and transparent data policies to protect user privacy while maintaining campaign effectiveness. By ensuring that all tracking scripts and advertising tools adhere to GDPR regulations, we help businesses avoid legal risks while maintaining trust with their audience.
One of the key aspects of GDPR compliance in PPC is user consent management. We integrate GDPR-compliant cookie consent banners (consent mode v2) and tracking solutions to ensure that users explicitly opt in before their data is collected for advertising purposes.
Implement Conversion Based Bidding Strategies
Implementing conversion-based bidding strategies is essential for optimising PPC campaigns and ensuring that Ad spend is allocated efficiently. Unlike manual bidding, which requires constant adjustments, conversion-based bidding leverages machine learning to automatically optimise bids based on the likelihood of a user converting.
There are myriad strategies that you could use, such as Target CPA (Cost-Per-Acquisition), Maximise Conversions, and Target ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). Our PPC experts will implement the right strategy for your business, ensuring that these sophisticated algorithms have the correct tracking data for their feedback loops to work from.
Beyond implementing of conversion-based bidding, continuous performance monitoring and optimisation are essential. Our team regularly analyses bid strategy performance, adjusting targets as needed to maintain efficiency and scalability.
Choosing An Attribution Model
Attribution models play a crucial role in PPC performance analysis, determining how credit is assigned to different touchpoints in the customer journey.
It is essential to choose an attribution model that accurately reflects how users engage with your Ads. Google Ads and other platforms offer several attribution options, including Last Click, First Click, Linear, Time Decay, Position-Based, and Data-Driven models, each providing different insights into campaign effectiveness. We help businesses to select the right attribution model and ensure we make informed bidding, budgeting, and optimisation decisions.
Ultimately, the best attribution model depends on your business goals, sales funnel complexity, and available data. E-commerce businesses may benefit from Time Decay models, which give more credit to interactions closer to the sale, while lead generation campaigns may prefer Position-Based or Linear models, ensuring every touchpoint is valued. Our team of PPC experts evaluates each client's specific needs and tests different attribution strategies to ensure that performance data accurately reflects the true impact of paid search efforts.
