DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Does this sound familiar?

Every team is doing its best, but each means something different by “conversion”.

A CLOSER LOOK

Let the meeting move beyond reconciling numbers

Three questions to give the discussion common ground.

01What decision are we making?

Put the real question on the table

Are we changing investment, understanding customers or finding a gap in the workflow?

02What evidence can we use?

Agree on the data and its limits

Which sources, time ranges and definitions are settled, and which need another look?

03Who carries the next step?

Connect discussion to action

Clarify the next action, the responsible role and how the team will review it.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

A useful place to start

The goal under discussion, current reports and the teams involved.

Discuss your situation
Can we start without knowing the root cause?

Yes. Describe the confusing numbers or workflow, and we can discuss whether diagnostics, analysis or another service is the right starting point.

Do we need to change tools first?

We first review the current setup and constraints. A new tool should follow a clear need.

How are scope and timing agreed?

We scope the data, systems, participants and deliverables together before proposing the engagement.

COMMON QUESTIONS

From data to action

We need someone to turn GA4, ad and BI data into a marketing plan. Can consulting do that?

That is what data consulting is for. We start with the decision you need to make, work back to the data it requires and whether that data can be trusted, then write it up as actions your team can carry out. Because we also handle tracking, data integration and media buying, recommendations end in specific settings and budget changes, not just a report.

How does a consultation usually start?

With an interview about the questions you need answered and the state of your data, followed by a proposed scope. The first consultation is free and is used to clarify the problem and the scope. Reviewing accounts and data is done as a Data Health Check, quoted separately.

What kind of company benefits from data consulting?

It depends on complexity, not industry: several ad platforms at once, both a website and an app, or online and offline data that need to connect.

How we work

  1. Interview: the decision to be made and the state of your data.
  2. Where needed, review accounts and data through a Data Health Check.
  3. Propose a scope.
  4. Deliver: tracking setup, data integration, advertising changes.
  5. Review regularly whether the recommendations changed anything.
