FAQs
What prospects usually ask.
We're already on GA4 — what do we still need?
GA4 by itself is rarely enough. Most setups we audit have events firing inconsistently, conversions defined too loosely, attribution misconfigured, and no consent integration. The work usually lands in: tightening event taxonomy, defining conversions that match commercial reality, integrating consent properly, and building a Looker Studio dashboard that surfaces the few numbers that actually drive decisions rather than the hundred that don't.How do we track AI traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude?
AI assistants now drive a meaningful (and growing) share of pre-purchase research. The referrals show up in GA4 with referrer hostnames like chat.openai.com, perplexity.ai, claude.ai, and bing.com (for Copilot). We segment those into a dedicated AI Search channel grouping in GA4, so you can see the real volume rather than have it lost inside Direct or Other. They tend to be lower-volume but higher-intent than typical organic search.What does a typical analytics stack look like?
For an SME, the practical stack is GA4 for behavioural and conversion data, Google Search Console for organic search performance, a server-side tag manager (or Google Tag Manager with proper consent integration) for clean event collection, and Looker Studio for the dashboards humans actually look at. Add Microsoft Clarity for free session recordings and heatmaps. That covers 90% of what most businesses need without enterprise pricing.How do you handle GDPR cookie consent and analytics?
Properly. That means a real consent banner where 'reject all' is genuinely available without dark patterns, GA4 configured in Consent Mode v2 so it respects the user's choice, and either basic conversion modelling (when consent is denied) or server-side tagging where the regulations and consent posture allow it. We don't recommend tracking workarounds that violate the spirit of GDPR — the modelling tools have improved enough that they're genuinely a viable answer.How do you handle attribution across channels?
GA4's data-driven attribution is the working default for most SMEs — better than last-click, doesn't require enterprise tooling. Where the buying cycle is long enough that GA4's window can't see the full journey (typical for B2B with 3+ month sales cycles), we layer in self-reported attribution at form fill or sales-call qualification stage and reconcile against GA4 in the dashboard. Both signals matter; neither is enough alone.How much does ongoing marketing and analytics cost?
Pure analytics work — implementation, dashboarding, monthly reporting and recommendations — typically runs £800–£3,000 a month depending on stack complexity. Combined marketing-and-analytics retainers (where we run campaigns alongside the measurement) are more like £2,500–£8,000 a month for SMEs. We always quote a fixed monthly figure rather than billing hours.How long until reporting and decisions feel reliable?
About six to eight weeks for the analytics foundation to be clean enough to trust — that's typically when event taxonomy is settled, consent is integrated, the dashboard is calibrated to commercial reality, and you have enough historical data to spot signal from noise. After that the cadence shifts from setup to insight, with monthly or fortnightly reviews driving real campaign decisions.
