    Overview: Let’s be honest—most GA4 setups are a mess. Tracking is broken. Dashboards are useless. And everyone’s flying blind. That’s where I come in. I help growth-stage and enterprise companies fix their analytics stack, clarify attribution, and finally get data they can trust. Whether you’re dealing with a messy GA4 migration, inconsistent GTM tracking, or dashboards that don’t tie to revenue—I clean it up, lock it down, and build a system you can scale with. I’ve spent the last 10+ years working with companies like Citi, Ulta Beauty, Verizon, IBM, and The Economist—solving high-stakes analytics problems and helping marketing teams make faster, smarter, more profitable decisions. What You Can Expect When You Work With Me: - GA4 Implementation & Cleanup – Clean, reliable tracking. Custom events. Ecommerce. Consent Mode. All tied to real business goals. - GTM Architecture That Scales – No mystery tags. No fire-drill fixes. Just clean, scalable structure you can actually manage. - Looker Studio Dashboards That Mean Something – Metrics that connect marketing to revenue. Fast. Clear. Actionable. - Attribution You Can Trust – Multi-touch models that make sense. So you stop spending blindly and start optimizing confidently. - KPI Design & Measurement Strategy – I’ll help you track what actually matters. No more reports no one reads. - Campaign Tagging – Google Ads, Campaign Manager, Meta, LinkedIn—clean, consistent, and fully integrated. Specialized in the Google Analytics Stack (Expert Level): - GA4: Event modeling, ecommerce tracking, cross-domain setup, consent mode, campaign attribution - GTM: Custom tags, debugging, dataLayer planning, advanced triggers - Looker Studio: Performance dashboards tied to acquisition, conversion, and ROI - Google Ads & Campaign Manager 360: Conversion tracking, UTM strategy, audience matching Advanced with Adobe Analytics Stack: - Adobe Analytics: Report suite planning, event/prop/eVar config, channel tracking - Adobe Launch: Tag deployment, QA workflows, data layer validation - I’ve worked with teams mid-transition—keeping both GA and Adobe clean during platform overlap Certifications: - Google Analytics Individual Qualification (GAIQ) - Tealium iQ & AudienceStream Foundations - Ongoing advanced training across GA4, GTM, and Adobe Analytics Client Results I’m Proud Of: - Citi: Aligned GTM structure across dev and marketing teams, closed key attribution gaps, improved reporting speed. - Ulta Beauty: Migrated analytics platform while preserving GA4 integrity and improving cross-channel tracking. - Verizon: Fixed GTM-GA4 issues that caused funnel drop-off blind spots. Restored confidence in campaign data. Why Clients Hire Me (And Keep Me): Because I don’t just set up tracking—I build systems that power marketing decisions. You get real clarity, not fluff. If your team is wasting time debating data quality, pulling numbers manually, or trying to reverse-engineer campaign performance from half-broken dashboards, let’s fix it. No guesswork. No bandaids. Just clean data and strategy that scales. Earle Richards, Jr. Marketing Analytics Consultant | GA4 • GTM • Looker Studio • Adobe Analytics
