ANALYTICS CONSULTANCY
Web analytics provides clarity, insights and tangible data to benchmark, plan and forecast exactly how far your marketing investment goes.
Rich analytical data is the foundation in which all digital channels rely upon. Every decision, from activating paid search to going to market with a new product/service should be driven by this data. Ensuring you have the very basics in place is essential and often a second thought once tagging has been deployed and basic tracking has been setup.
outbloom offer end-to-end analytics consultancy, helping you to improve ad efficiencies, reduce reporting time, gain deeper product insights, understand user behavior and lower your risk of data inaccuracies.
Turn Data into action
THE OUTBLOOM WAY

We undertake a full health check of your current analytics setup, scoring everything from user access to custom dimensions/metrics. Following this, outbloom present where you sit on a sliding scale from one to ten, ten being a gold standard basic analytics setup. We’ll then prioritise tasks based on impact and either working independently/side by side with your teams, implement the changes to get you to a gold standard basic account setup.
DATA INTEGRATIONS
Importing data into your web analytics opens a wealth of opportunities. Rather than looking at your platform in silo next to offline, CRM, and more, we connect and combine these sources to give you a holistic view of performance. Once we have set up an import from your source of truth (CRM, CDP, etc) you will be able to report and forecast out your acquisition channels using the best possible data source, gaining a much deeper understanding of your customers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We don’t have one fixed fee for a web analytics project as prices vary in line with scope and requirements. This is a sliding scale as often there are many factors involved in projects such as migrations, audits, new account creation etc.
Absolutely. Server-side tracking has many benefits and can enhance your data collection by capturing information directly on your server. Improving the accuracy of your data and reducing discrepancies are just the start and we recommend server-side tracking as standard (where possible).
This really comes down to how often your website is updated, changes in tracking, parties involved, and more. If you are a heavy lifter in analytics we would recommend an audit once a year and around any significant changes to ensure you have a second set of eyes on the projects being rolled out. If you’ve never had your analytics audited, we’d recommend actioning this immediately to ensure you are looking at correct data when making your digital marketing decisions.
We follow a structured plan that includes; assessment & planning (determine the best approach), setting up the APIs (finding a way around this if not available), mapping, setting up data flows and the most important step – quality control. Once we have all this nailed we will begin to draw up how we can visualise the data in custom built reports to provide you with meaningful insights.
