Analytics and Data Agency
Derive competitive insights from your data by partnering with a leading analytics agency
A clever Analytics and Data agency
Thriving in the competitive online marketplace is a challenging task, one that requires a deep understanding of your place within the market and how to pivot toward where you want to be. To get the best understanding of your position and analyse the behaviour of your potential customers, you need the help of an analytics and data agency like us here at Metric Labs.
The internet runs on data. Every action a potential customer takes can be recorded: every visit, where they came from, every click, every page view, their visit duration, every product impression, every item added and removed from cart, even how far down a page they view can all be tracked and recorded as data. But without expert knowledge, or the help of an analytics and data agency, all this data will just be numbers.
Understand your customer data
Web Analytics is the process of collecting and analysing web data to better understand the behaviour and patterns of users.
With the help of an analytics agency, you will be able to capture and find information about your audience that will enable you to better target your relevant customers and better align your marketing strategy with your business goals.
As an analytics and data agency, we at Metric Labs take a structured, scientific approach to the measurement and analysis of web data that involves:
- Measurement Framework Development: Identify what types of data and information best align with your business goals
- Analytics Implementation: Auditing and implementing trackers to collect the right types of data across your platforms
- Data Visualisation and Reporting: Processing the collected data to evince the relevant information to maximise the value of your data
Data audit and analytics process
As a data agency, our process of analytics begins with ensuring data integrity and accuracy. With most websites using Google Analytics as a preferred analytics provider, our process starts with a Google Analytics audit and configuration. Some of the Google Analytics features we look at during the data audit process include;
- Time zone is set up correctly
- Currency is set up correctly
- Bot filtering enabled
- Site search enabled
- Google Ads accounts linked
- Google Search console account created
- GTM account set up
- Test, Main and Master Views created
- Goals set up
- Checkout funnel goals set up
- Relevant IP filters set up
- Hostname Filters added
- Lower case campaign, medium and source filters added
- Self referrals excluded
- Data retention settings
- Payment gateway referrals excluded
- Enhanced Ecommerce On
- Calculated Metrics configured
- Custom Channel Groupings set up

Attribution modelling
After ensuring data integrity and accuracy we can start attribution modelling. Our approach to attribution modelling encompasses understanding the data source and intent then mapping the right attribution model based on those findings. We are comfortable building models from scratch or using the more popular models. Some of the attribution models we have used in the past include;
- Markov model creation
- Last click attribution
- First click attribution
- Position-based attribution
- Linear models
Additional configuration
Beyond the specific Google Analytics features, we also look at other implementations to further enhance data accuracy. Ensuring end to end integration and data accuracy across all traffic sources is essential so forging a tracking strategy and consistent naming convention from the onset is as important as tracking itself. Some of the areas we review include;
- UTM implementation on advertising platforms
- Facebook, Snap Ads, Pinterest, Tik Tok tracking review
- GTM custom variable implementation
- Custom metrics and dimensions configuration
- CRM and GA integration
- All external tool integration with GA
