GA4 numbers don't match anything else.
Shopify/Stripe say one thing, GA4 says another, Meta and Google Ads both claim the same conversion. Nobody knows which number wins.
Tracking · GA4 Audit
Your GA4 isn't lying on purpose — it's just wired wrong.
Our GA4 audit is a 10-day forensic pass over your tracking, ecommerce, attribution, and server-side setup. We find the places where Google Analytics disagrees with Shopify, Stripe, Ads and finance — and give you a concrete plan to fix it.
- Diagnose why purchase revenue and orders don't match your backend.
- Unpack why "Direct" and "Unassigned" conversions plague your reports.
- Stress-test your setup for data integrity and consent mode compliance.
Led by senior analytics engineers — not generic "audit tools" or checklists.
Why GA4 doesn't feel trustworthy
The problem isn't GA4. It's how everything around it is wired.
Migration scripts, hurried GTM setups, server-side experiments, consent changes — they all stack into a system that's technically live but practically unreliable. Our audit pulls that mess apart to restore data quality.
✕
Conversions keep showing as Direct or Unassigned.
Cross-domain flows, redirects, consent and ad blockers quietly strip context — so your best channels always look weaker than they are.
✕
Every change risks breaking tracking again.
New landing pages, new offers, new funnels — measurement is always one sprint behind, and nobody sees the break until reports crater.
✕
You're not confident enough to make big bets.
With fuzzy attribution and shaky revenue, it's safer to hold budget than to push into the channels that could actually grow the business.
What the GA4 audit includes
From raw hits to a GA4 property you're not embarrassed to show your CFO.
We don't just list issues; we connect them to revenue, reporting, and decision risk — then give you a prioritized fix roadmap to ensure long-term data integrity.
Implementation & event schema
Everything from basic events to complex ecommerce flows.
- GTM, hard-coded tags, and server-side containers mapped.
- Event names and parameters reviewed against real user journeys.
- Cross-domain and app/web flows validated end-to-end.
- Consent Mode and region-based rules checked for signal loss.
Revenue & ecommerce accuracy
Where most GA4 setups quietly break.
- Purchase logic reconciled with Shopify/Stripe/backend.
- Product IDs, quantities, coupons, and tax behavior validated.
- Variance quantified and documented — not hand-waved.
- Target tolerance agreed (often <1–3%) and used as a guardrail.
Attribution & paid media alignment
So growth, finance, and agencies stop arguing.
- Google Ads and Meta checked for duplicate/missing conversions.
- Browser vs server-side events deduplicated correctly.
- UTM governance reviewed — no more random naming.
- Performance views aligned with finance reporting.
Governance, docs & future-proofing
The part that keeps GA4 clean after we're gone.
- Event schema reorganized around business outcomes.
- Naming conventions, parameter usage, and ownership clarified.
- Change-log captured for future devs and agencies.
- Optional monitoring/QA patterns to catch breaks early.

Apimio
Closed a 30% GA4 vs Stripe revenue gap to under 2%.
GA4 was under-reporting revenue and mis-counting purchases. We rebuilt ecommerce events, moved key signals server-side, and reconciled logic.

FAQs about our GA4 Audit
What does a GA4 audit cover?
Our GA4 audit is a comprehensive review of your tracking infrastructure. We check event schemas, GTM triggers, data layer accuracy, server-side configurations, and cross-domain tracking. Most importantly, we reconcile your Google Analytics data against backend sources like Stripe or Shopify to find revenue gaps and ensure data integrity.
How long does a Google Analytics audit take?
A standard forensic GA4 audit takes approximately 10 business days. This allows us time to inspect your code, verify data streams, and compare reporting windows. We deliver a prioritized risk assessment and a step-by-step fix plan.
Can you fix the issues found in the audit?
Yes. While the audit is a standalone deliverable, most clients retain us to implement the fixes. We can work directly in your GTM container and codebase or partner with your developers to deploy the necessary changes.
Why doesn't my GA4 match my Shopify or backend?
This is the most common issue we solve. It typically stems from client-side signal loss (ad blockers, iOS privacy), improper deduplication, or missing refund/cancellation logic. Our audit pinpoints exactly where the data leak is happening.
Do you audit GTM containers as well?
Yes, a GA4 audit almost always requires a GTM audit. We review your tag management governance, trigger logic, and 3rd-party scripts to ensure they aren't inflating pageviews or slowing down your site.
