The evidence layer, per locale

Conversion tracking measured per market

Measurement that shows which language earns the enquiry, with a clear figure for every market on the site.

Conversion tracking set up per market, so every French, German or Spanish enquiry is counted in its own market and you see which language pays back.

What you get from conversion tracking per market

GA4 and Google Tag Manager configured for each locale. We define your key events once (form submissions, downloads, calls, and cart actions for stores) and apply them the same way in every language, so a French enquiry and a German one count alike and can be compared.

Google Ads reporting that agrees with your analytics. We wire Google Ads conversion tracking to the same event definitions, so the campaign report and the analytics report agree on every enquiry.

Your CRM closing the loop. Where sales pass through a CRM, we set up offline conversion tracking that sends the closed outcome back to GA4 and Google Ads, so a lead is measured through to a qualified result and bidding runs on what a market is worth.

A report per market, reviewed on a fixed cadence, typically monthly, showing at a glance which market converts and which mainly brings traffic.

Where a figure per market pays off

Budget moved to the markets that convert. A separate figure per language shows which market earns enquiries and which mainly brings visits, so you can fund each one on what it returns.

Early warning in every market. A change in any market's conversions shows up in the data months before it reaches the sales pipeline, which gives you time to act on it.

Figures your sales team recognises. With spam, test entries and job applications counted apart, and the outcome synced from the CRM, the number in the report matches the enquiries your team receives.

Open what you need

Conversion tracking work that matches what sales sees

Four settings we configure so a multilingual site's conversion report lines up with the enquiries sales actually receives.

Consent mode configured market by market

In the EU every visitor counts, including those who decline cookies, and what reaches your analytics from them depends on how consent mode is configured. Consent rates differ sharply by country, so two markets with identical real performance can report very differently.

We configure consent mode per market and report each market's consent rate alongside its figures, so you rank your languages on what their visitors do.

A conversion defined as the enquiry you want

We filter the spam, the test entries and the job applications out of the raw count of form submissions, so each market's figure matches what the sales team sees arrive.

The definition we use is the one your own people recognise, agreed with you before anything is measured: usually an enquiry that became a conversation.

Attribution rules across languages

A visitor who lands on the English page, switches to French and converts belongs to one market, and which one depends on the rules chosen. We set those rules with you deliberately, so each switcher is counted once, in the right language.

CRM sync from lead to customer

We sync conversion data through to your CRM, which is what lets each market be judged on the quality of what it sent.

It also shows the market where plenty converts and little closes, which points to a positioning question dressed as an analytics one, and gives you the figures to act on it.
