THE TRACKING
PROBLEM

Ad blockers, iOS privacy updates, and browser restrictions are quietly stealing your conversion data. When your tracking is broken, your ad platform optimizes on incomplete signals — wasting budget and reducing ROAS.

I specialize in server-side tracking — moving data collection from the user's browser to a secure server environment. This means more events captured, better attribution, and full compliance with modern privacy regulations.

With a background in analytical problem-solving and data-driven decision making, I bridge the gap between technical tracking infrastructure and actionable business insights — so every rupee of ad spend works harder.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Do I really need server-side tracking?+

If you're running paid ads on Meta or Google and relying on browser-based pixels, you are almost certainly losing 20–40% of your conversion data. Server-side tracking ensures your ad platforms receive complete, accurate data — leading to better optimization, lower CPA, and higher ROAS.

What platforms do you support?+

I work with Shopify, WordPress/WooCommerce, and most custom-built websites. On analytics and advertising I support GA4, Meta Pixel & CAPI, TikTok Events API, Google Ads, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and any platform integrating with GTM server containers.

How long does a typical setup take?+

Starter setups: 3 days. Full server-side implementations (Standard): 5 days. Advanced package with Looker Studio: 7 days. All timelines include full QA testing before delivery.

What is Stape and why do you use it?+

Stape.io is a managed hosting platform for GTM server containers. It handles all infrastructure so you don't need a Google Cloud server. Cost-effective, reliable, and purpose-built for server-side tagging — the industry standard.

Will server-side tracking slow my site?+

No — it actually improves page speed. By moving tags from the browser to the server, fewer scripts load in the user's browser, reducing page weight and improving Core Web Vitals.

Is server-side tracking GDPR compliant?+

Yes — I implement Google Consent Mode v2 as standard. Data collection is blocked by default until the user provides consent, keeping your tracking fully compliant with GDPR and similar regulations globally.

What do I need to provide to get started?+

Access to your website, GTM account, GA4 property, and Meta Business Manager. I'll guide you through every step — no technical knowledge needed. A free 15-min discovery call is included with every plan.
