But underneath, 20-40% of actual conversions are disappearing - lost to ad blockers, ITP, browser cookie limits, and broken deduplication. Your algorithms train on incomplete data and you don't know it. I'm a conversion tracking and attribution specialist with a developer background. I fix measurement at the foundation level - I don't just configure tools, I understand why they fail and build setups that don't. Server-side infrastructure, custom dataLayer architecture, first-party data, proper deduplication, clean attribution. This is what accurate measurement actually requires. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗜𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗚𝗧𝗠 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗜: Moving measurement off the browser so conversions survive ad blockers, ITP, and cookie restrictions. Built on Stape/GCP with proper FBCLID persistence, deduplication keys, and Event Match Quality optimization - routinely above 8.0/10 EMQ. 𝗚𝗔𝟰 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁: Full event schema design, enhanced eCommerce, cross-domain tracking, custom dataLayer architecture, and GA4 Explorations. Not the default auto-event setup - a deliberate measurement plan built around your actual conversion path. 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴: GCLID/FBCLID persistence, UTM integrity, multi-touch attribution, channel-level cost per acquisition, and diagnosing where credit is lost or misassigned. Offline conversion imports from CRMs (GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Salesforce) to close the loop. 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: GCLID-based attribution, enhanced conversions via GTM or the API, and the tag architecture that gives Smart Bidding accurate signal to train from. 𝗣𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Meta Pixel health audit, server-side CAPI, deduplication validation, FBCLID/UTM persistence checks, and EMQ diagnosis. If your EMQ is below 7.0, I will find why and fix it.

My audit found a duplicate Google Ads conversion tag live since January 2025 - inflating reported conversions 3.3x to 5.4x every month for 17 months - plus a missing checkout domain in Conversion Linker, Enhanced Conversions variable bugs, and a GA4 referral exclusion issue. Fixed every item, then ran the full migration with QA and a monitoring plan.

A checkout flow that strips UTM parameters. An SPA that doesn't fire pageviews on route change. A React app where dataLayer events run before the DOM is ready. These need JavaScript debugging, not GTM clicks. My developer background lets me trace issues to root cause instead of surface fixes - custom JavaScript for edge cases, custom dataLayer schemas for complex funnels, and API integrations when standard implementations fail. If your conversion data doesn't look right - or you're not sure whether it does - I'll audit your setup and tell you exactly what's broken and what it would take to fix it.
