We need someone to own data and tracking

By

Tracking breaks when everyone touches it and nobody owns it. Give one person or partner clear ownership of the event plan, the tag setup and data quality, with a check before every release.

We need someone to own data and tracking

Problem

Everyone uses the data. Nobody looks after it.

Developers add events when they remember, marketers add tags when they need them, and nobody checks whether any of it still works. Problems are found weeks later, when a report looks wrong.

Every fix is a one-off, so the same problems keep returning.

Insight

Data quality is a job, not a project.

A tracking setup needs a maintained plan of events, someone who reviews changes before release, and regular checks that the numbers still make sense.

Without that ownership, even a good setup decays within months.

How we approach it

We take ownership of your tracking, or set up your team to own it.

  1. We document every event and tag in one plan that everyone works from.
  2. We add checks to each release so nothing breaks unnoticed.
  3. We monitor the key numbers and fix gaps before they reach a report.

Your data stays reliable as the product and the team change.
