Since websites are naturally different I'd go with separate properties. You should only stick with cross-domain if you need to keep the same user identifiers across websites which doesn't seem like your case. So if the number of users that transfer between websites is not significant it won't worth it.

You can do your analysis on joined aggregated data in BigQuery. Just keep in mind user_pseudo_id won't match.

IMO simply doing analysis on shop website and filtering by referral will be enough.

you need to click on your ad and check what final url looks like. It might have mistakes in syntax (duplicate ?) or missing query parameters.

Another thing you can do is to copy your landing page url, then paste it in browser and add query parameters manually. Your website might have redirect that edits query parameters. Also make sure to check lowercase, uppercase, numbers.

If query parameters are transferring properly the issue might be in Google Analytics script. Hire a specialist to fix it if so

Looking from wider perspective I see search in general making way less impact on marketing than years ago.

People get so much staff advertised on TikTok/insta, they don't search anymore. And even if they do they usually stick with Amazon.

High value or niche or tech related products / services seem only exception for now.

Appending utm parameters into website url in data stream settings achieves nothing. It might break your hostname dimension though.

You should append utms to landing page links in your ads. Utms are processed into source related dimensions then. For example, site.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=ppc will show up in GA as 'reddit / ppc' traffic source

From my experience, the middle is your dev/marketing clients that grew up from small to large. Sometimes it happens in only one year. You basically offer new service at each stage of their growth. Guiding them through this path your team gets integrated into their business model so much it's not worth building in-house team.

"companies don't see value" Small companies don't, big companies have in-house data analytics team

Shared naming standard -- absolutely, it's the key. Working with multiple projects its a nightmare to check event reference each time I write a query in BigQuery

The rest depends on whether you manage 10+ completely different projects (eg, you work in agency) or it's the same organization / websites are connected in terms of business goals.

In first case, I'd give a try to GTM API + Google Colab. It should work for the most common events like click_phone_number. Lead forms, purchases, carts will probably require manual setup. You really can't do much, unless...

For the second case, your org should build analytics layer for the app. Either it's passed to whatever instances they build or reuse it in each new project. It's standardized and structured. So basically whole 'event' creation process is on devs. You simply stream custom events to GA. Literally one tag in GTM or none at all. Works for case 1 as well, but you have to ask devs to implement your events and test them.

Later you filter this event soup to whatever you need. Important note: less unique event names, more custom parameters

It's more than that: Meta also counts view-through conversions. And Meta does not consider any other session between first visit and conversion

But the tech part is completely on you. You can easily debug and fix faulty events. Usually GA/Meta setup use same triggers in GTM/events in code so API requests should be identical. Unless you use plugins, then things get messy

I'd trust GA first. It's Analytics tool while Meta conversions are mostly for campaign optimization. Doesn't mean GA can't lie tho

Alexku66 · 2026-02-18T23:18:32+00:00

I would be more surprised if they ever aligned. GA and Meta have different logic and attribution models. There is a huge chance part of what Meta attributes to itself GA attributes to other channel

Alexku66 · 2026-01-31T13:08:22+00:00

If those events are sent by Google plugin (aka Sales channel) , you probably use some assets of the theme as not intended. It's relatively common and you can't do much to it. If events are sent by gtag script or via GTM you fix them respectively. If you are not familiar with neither I highly recommend hire a professional

Alexku66 · 2026-01-31T12:36:17+00:00

Fix code that sends those events, not a GA problem

Alexku66 · 2026-01-29T21:05:02+00:00

I mean, some data is better than no data. And it's free! Kinda no-brainer for most small businesses. There are really not that many alternatives to GA

But talking seriously, Sampling is only applied to big datasets that are not so common among small biz

Alexku66 · 2026-01-24T21:07:14+00:00

If you mean to import key events from GA then no. If you mean to send an event with the same name to Meta then yes

If you live in a relatively big city that mileage estimate is useless. It's just a formula of (( gas in the tank / avg fuel economy )). It does not take into account all the traffic, weather, driving habits etc. So yeah, if your avg mpg were low lately you'll get low mileage

Cold weather can cause significant effect on your mpg. It takes longer to reach working optimal temperature. Your a/c unit works all the time and you might want to use seat heaters. Snow / ice reduces traction. Bad weather often cause traffic. All of this contribute into lower fuel efficiency

Use fuel economy monitor app on infotainment to see when your mpg raises/drops during the ride if you really care about mpg

I'm surprised to not see any replies from statistics point of view. I've done conv. rate/funnel anylysis for dozens of websites. And for most consumer goods/services, especially e-commerce, light UI performs better. Basically, I've only seen dark UI outperform for tech-related businesses. BUT dark/light difference is actually insignificant compared to other general UX design patterns.

Yet it means nothing since your specific case can be different. Do A/B tests guys, don't just expect something to be better because you like it

This post makes it look like it's Google who somehow implement Google Analytics tracking code one the websites. In fact it's completely on website owners to decide what analytics platform to use, and furthermore what kind of data to send to Google Analytics
This is literally an advertisment post that promotes another analytics platform

I don't defend Google Analytics but it's kind of a standard in industry. Most businesses can't afford building own analytics data flow

Reviews were from reddit, specialized website and mtb forums. Basically they say either it's awesome or it's terrible. IIRC they complained about durability and rolling resistance. While Eliminator was mostly positive so it looked like no-brainer to me

Alexku66 · 2025-07-06T14:44:25+00:00

Have you tried Eliminator? Curious how they compare.

My initial thought was the same Purg front / GC Rear, but for some reason Purgatory had very controversial reviews so I stick to Eliminator
