Set up server-side tracking and consent cleanly

We structure the technical tracking between your website, consent management platform, Google Tag Manager, GA4, and Google Ads—ensuring that relevant conversions remain traceable, even in complex setups.

So that Google Ads does not just measure clicks, but reliably records real conversions, leads, and revenue.

I support companies and agencies with the technical setup and auditing of Google Ads Conversion Tracking, GA4, GTM, Consent Mode v2, and Enhanced Conversions.

CONVERSIONS ARE PLUMMETING

Important signals no longer fully reach analytics or advertising platforms.

Scope of services

Measurement logic that brings together consent and conversion data

We examine which data is generated where, how consents are processed, and which signals need to be prioritized for accurate conversion measurement. This includes Enhanced Conversions for Google Ads, provided that first-party data and the required consent are available.

Who it's for

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Suitable for companies and agencies looking to establish consent, conversion data, and technical measurement logic in a permanently traceable way.

Was gehört zu einer Server-Side-Tracking-Implementierung?

Eine serverseitige Tagging-Infrastruktur ist nur ein Baustein. Entscheidend sind saubere Datenflüsse, korrekt umgesetzter Consent und eine dokumentierte Messlogik.

Architektur & Datenfluss

Wir prüfen Web-Container, Server-Container, Endpoints und die Übergabe benötigter Event-Parameter.

Consent & Plattformintegration

Wir berücksichtigen Consent Mode, GA4 und die tatsächlich eingesetzten Werbeplattformen.

Tests & Qualitätssicherung

Events, Conversion-Werte, Duplikate und die technische Auslösung werden anhand relevanter Testfälle kontrolliert.

Process

How we get started with server-side tracking and consent

First, we establish transparency around data flows, consents, and key conversion signals. This forms the basis for a prioritized technical roadmap.

Step 1

CHECK SETUP

We capture relevant conversion goals, review existing tags, events, and data transfers, and identify prioritized risks in your tracking setup.
