Google Analytics Consultant in North Carolina
If you work in marketing, analytics, UX or communications in North Carolina you need to have reliable data about your website visitors and marketing initiatives to determine the effectiveness of campaigns and other efforts. A Google Analytics consultant can help you to make certain you are collecting, reporting, and making decisions based upon current and accurate data from Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
About our Google Analytics Consultants in North Carolina
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is the data collection platform for websites and apps that has replaced Universal Analytics (UA). Because it is available in a robust free tier of service, it is the most widely used web analytics tool for reporting on website traffic, including detailed information about visitors, which are now known as users, and the number of times users have visited your site. A Google Analytics consultant helps your gather data and generate reports on the most visited pages, how visitors found your site, and whether visitors are doing what you want, known as conversions.
Google Analytics has many standard reports, and a Google Analytics consultant can make it easy for you to gather and understand the reports you need. While GA4 includes some standard visualizations, you may need a GA4 consultant to help create customized data visualizations, to filter the analytics data to focus on specific pages or traffic sources, or to help align the measured data with your KPIs or OKRs.
Our Google Analytics consultants in North Carolina understand that the data from the website is only useful if it aligns to your organization's objectives. Because of this, they have experience in data collection, reporting, visualization, and aligning reporting to your business objectives through creating conversions and custom reporting.

Why a Google Analytics consultant in North Carolina is helpful
As you move to Google Analytics 4, you’ll find that it operates very differently from Universal Analytics. Everything from the way it collects data, to what data is captured, and how it is reported is different in GA4. If you are using Google Tag Manager (GTM), there are requirements for how data is structured, and any previous Universal Analytics data collection must be adjusted and formatted before it is sent to GA4.
Even after data is sent to GA4, a Google Analytics consultant can help to make certain this data is visible within your reporting. Custom data that is sent to GA4 needs to be incorporated into reports, otherwise it remains below the surface and inaccessible.
A Google Analytics consultant helps you to define a strategy for what data to collect, how to capture conversions, and the best ways to interpret the data, and how data aligns to KPIs or OKRs for your business. A consultant also helps to identify trends, and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and advertising.
A good Google Analytics consultant in North Carolina also helps you answer questions and get a better understanding of your reports, including:
- Are certain traffic sources bringing visitors to your site that are more likely to result in a conversion.
- Which landing pages do a better job at keeping visitors engaged.
- Are there usability issues for visitors on mobile devices that keep them from converting.
- Which marketing initiatives bring the most useful visitors that are more likely to convert.
- Determining which advertising campaigns are effective.
A Google Analytics consultant turns raw data into useful information so that your marketing, usability, website, and apps are most effective. A GA4 consultant helps you to identify and focus on the most rewarding marketing initiatives and shut down ineffective efforts.
Another area where a Google Analytics consultant can help is defining conversions. An effective GA4 consultant helps translate your business objectives into data that should be collected from your website, including which high-value activities should be tracked as conversions. Our Google Analytics consultants help make certain that conversions are set-up correctly, and they align to the success of your business.
