How the setup in this project is connected, from the website to each platform.

About FAARNS

FAARNS is a multi-country digital agency offering web design, branding, SEO, paid ads and AI-powered MVP development across Canada, Bangladesh, the UK and the USA. Despite strong digital capabilities, its analytics and tracking structure needed work to measure leads accurately and optimize campaigns.

Project overview

The FAARNS website has many high-value service pages, but user interactions and conversions were not tracked properly. Form submissions, CTA clicks, WhatsApp interactions and engagement behavior were either partially tracked or missing entirely.

These gaps led to inaccurate attribution, incomplete lead data, unclear campaign performance and limited visibility into user behavior. The project focused on building a complete GA4 and GTM measurement system that tracks both macro and micro conversions across the site.

Goals

  • Track all important user interactions across the website
  • Measure lead generation accurately
  • Improve attribution between traffic sources and conversions
  • Help the marketing team optimize campaigns with real-time data
  • Give leadership clear reporting dashboards for decision-making

Challenges

  • No centralized data layer for event tracking
  • Form submissions were not properly connected to analytics
  • The Google Tag Manager structure was missing and disorganized
  • Service page CTA interactions were not measurable
  • Scroll behavior on long pages was not monitored
  • Leadership had no real-time reporting dashboard
  • Google Ads conversions were not properly synced with GA4

Strategy

I built an event-driven tracking architecture with Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager. I identified the key actions across the site and mapped them into structured GA4 events, inside a clean GTM container with scalable naming conventions and organized triggers. The setup focuses on conversion accuracy, engagement tracking, funnel visibility and Google Ads conversion tracking, and supports both current reporting and future ad scaling for lead generation.
