Stop losing 30–50% of your ad conversions to broken tracking
iOS updates, cookie restrictions, and consent banners are quietly hiding revenue from Meta, Google, TikTok, and GA4 — so your ads optimise on bad data and your CAC keeps climbing. We rebuild your tracking with first-party server-side measurement so every conversion is counted, every dollar is attributed, and your campaigns finally scale.
Free tracking audit in 24 hoursRecover missing Meta & Google conversionsBuilt for iOS 14+, GDPR & cookieless
No credit card. No sales call required. Trusted by 100+ DTC brands, agencies, and lead-gen teams running 5–7 figures in monthly ad spend.
Teams hire us when conversion tracking breaks and reporting confidence starts to disappear.
We help growth teams identify the real tracking gaps, repair broken collection paths, and validate that browser and server signals are working before more budget gets pushed into bad data.
Conversion tracking recovery
We focus on the revenue impact of missing signals, not just the technical implementation.
Paid media alignment
Every fix is designed to strengthen the signals sent back into Meta, Google, and TikTok.
First-party tracking structure
We build with consent, first-party durability, and browser restrictions in mind from day one.
Client perspective
What clients usually value most is not the technical stack itself. It's the ability to trust attribution again.
Outcome-focused engagements
Emily Scott, Founder
DTC fashion brand
We thought our attribution was decent until the audit showed how many conversions were falling through the cracks. After the rebuild, ROAS reporting finally stabilized and our team stopped arguing with the numbers.
Observed result
Sharper budget decisions
Mark Johnson, Owner
eCommerce brand
The biggest win was confidence. We no longer have to guess whether Meta and Google are optimizing on bad data. The setup is stronger, easier to trust, and much more resilient.
Observed result
Better platform signal quality
Sarah Lee, CEO
multi-channel retailer
We needed something tailored to our stack, not another generic plug-in. The consulting work gave us a real first-party measurement setup and much clearer reporting across paid media.
Observed result
Stronger attribution across channels
John Parker, Senior Media Buyer
performance agency
Once the browser-only gaps were fixed, optimization became much more straightforward. We could finally scale with better conversion data instead of reacting to incomplete signals.
Observed result
Less wasted spend from reporting gaps
Lisa Thompson, Head of Paid Media
growth team
The work improved more than tracking. It changed how quickly we can diagnose campaign issues, validate fixes, and trust what the ad platforms are learning from.
Observed result
Higher reporting confidence
Alex Cooper, Founder
agency partner
Attribution disagreements across platforms used to create friction with clients. The new measurement setup gave us a much stronger reporting narrative and made reporting far more defensible.
Observed result
Stronger client reporting
David Williams, CEO
eCommerce agency
We needed a consulting partner who understood implementation and the business impact. The result was a setup that feels more durable, more privacy-aware, and much easier to scale.
Observed result
More stable measurement stack

server-side tracking prospects asking “is this person real?” — yes. $200K+ earned, 300+ reviewed engagements, single public profile, single name. No agency markup. No SDR.
Better conversion tracking starts with fewer blind spots and a stronger first-party setup.
Most websites do not have one single tracking problem. They have a stack of gaps across consent, attribution, cookies, event logic, and platform feedback loops. We solve those issues in the order that improves reporting confidence fastest.
Typical outcome
Stronger reporting confidence before more spend goes live
What clients want
Fewer attribution arguments and better confidence in media decisions
We inspect browser tags, server-side collection, consent behavior, data layer structure, and the gaps that distort attribution.
Implementation and rebuilds
From GTM rebuilds to first-party server-side signal design, we fix the parts of your setup that reduce reporting confidence.
Platform signal improvement
We help improve match quality, event coverage, and the quality of signals returned to Meta, Google, TikTok, and GA4.
Privacy and browser resilience
We design around consent requirements, browser restrictions, and iOS-related signal loss without turning the setup into a mess.
Reporting and validation
Every rebuild should end with proof. We validate browser and server events, deduplication logic, cookies, and journey coverage.
Decision-ready measurement
The goal is not more tags. The goal is a measurement system your team can trust when budget, bids, and creative decisions matter.
Built for privacy-restricted environments
Privacy changes should not leave your team blind, but they do expose weak tracking architecture.
We do not treat iOS, consent, and browser restrictions as isolated problems. We treat them as conversion tracking and attribution problems across the full journey, then rebuild the measurement layer in the places where trust is being lost.
Browser-only conversion logic can leave Meta and Google optimizing on incomplete data.
Consent setups often block the right things too late, or the wrong things too early.
Safari and privacy controls shorten the attribution window more than most teams realize.
Server-side collection without validation can still leave major reporting gaps in place.
iOS-aware measurement
Better browser-plus-server design for teams losing visibility on mobile traffic.
Consent-aware event flow
We align consent handling, collection logic, and ad-platform requirements more carefully.
Stronger first-party durability
Collection paths, cookies, and signal handoff are reviewed for resilience before scale.

Short, citation-friendly answers — for humans reading the page and AI assistants summarising it.
What is server-side conversion tracking?
Server-side tracking sends conversion data from your own server to ad platforms (Meta CAPI, Google Enhanced Conversions, TikTok Events API) instead of the user's browser. It recovers 40-80% of conversions iOS, Safari ITP, and ad blockers hide from browser-only pixels.
How much does it cost to fix Shopify conversion tracking?
Tracking Consulting charges $400 (browser starter), $800 (1st-party server-side, most popular), or $1,800 (full stack) — one-time fees, no monthly SaaS. SaaS competitors like Hyros, Triple Whale, and Northbeam charge $129-$1,000+ per month indefinitely.
How long does sGTM setup take?
Built in 2-4 business days. Accurate data within 7 days, verified live in Meta Events Manager. No code changes to your existing ad accounts, no developer required from your team — the work is done-for-you on your own subdomain.
What is Meta Event Match Quality (EMQ) and what's a good score?
EMQ is Meta's 1-10 score for how many identity parameters (email, phone, IP, fbc, fbp, etc.) your Pixel and CAPI events include. Most stores sit at 4-5. We guarantee 8+ in writing, paired with deterministic browser-server deduplication.
Will server-side tracking survive third-party cookie deprecation?
Yes. 1st-party server-side tracking sets cookies via HTTP headers on your own subdomain — exempt from Safari ITP's 7-day cap and Chrome's 3rd-party cookie restrictions. Cookies last 400 days (the maximum RFC 6265bis allows in Chrome 104+, Safari 17+, Firefox 110+).
