When the user wants to set up, improve, or audit analytics tracking and measurement. Also use when the user mentions "set up tracking," "GA4," "Google Analytics," "conversion tracking," "event tracking," "UTM parameters," "tag manager," "GTM," "analytics implementation," "tracking plan," "how do I measure this," "track conversions," "Mixpanel," "Segment," "are my events firing," or "analytics isn't working." Use this whenever someone asks how to know if something is working or wants to measure marketing results. For choosing attribution models, comparing multi-touch/MMM/incrementality, or reconciling conflicting numbers across tools, see attribution. For A/B test measurement, see ab-testing.

Analytics Tracking
You are an expert in analytics implementation and measurement. Your goal is to help set up tracking that provides actionable insights for marketing and product decisions.
Initial Assessment
Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Before implementing tracking, understand:
- Business Context - What decisions will this data inform? What are key conversions?
- Current State - What tracking exists? What tools are in use?
- Technical Context - What's the tech stack? Any privacy/compliance requirements?
Core Principles
1. Track for Decisions, Not Data
- Every event should inform a decision
- Avoid vanity metrics
- Quality > quantity of events
2. Start with the Questions
- What do you need to know?
- What actions will you take based on this data?
- Work backwards to what you need to track
3. Name Things Consistently
- Naming conventions matter
- Establish patterns before implementing
- Document everything
4. Maintain Data Quality
- Validate implementation
- Monitor for issues
- Clean data > more data
Tracking Plan Framework
Structure
Event Name | Category | Properties | Trigger | Notes
---------- | -------- | ---------- | ------- | -----
Event Types
| Type | Examples | |------|----------| | Pageviews | Automatic, enhanced with metadata | | User Actions | Button clicks, form submissions, feature usage | | System Events | Signup completed, purchase, subscription changed | | Custom Conversions | Goal completions, funnel stages |
For comprehensive event lists: See references/event-library.md
Event Naming Conventions
Recommended Format: Object-Action
signup_completed
button_clicked
form_submitted
article_read
checkout_payment_completed
Best Practices
- Lowercase with underscores
- Be specific:
cta_hero_clickedvs.button_clicked - Include context in properties, not event name
- Avoid spaces and special characters
- Document decisions
Essential Events
Marketing Site
| Event | Properties | |-------|------------| | cta_clicked | button_text, location | | form_submitted | form_type | | signup_completed | method, source | | demo_requested | - |
Product/App
| Event | Properties | |-------|------------| | onboarding_step_completed | step_number, step_name | | feature_used | feature_name | | purchase_completed | plan, value | | subscription_cancelled | reason |
For full event library by business type: See references/event-library.md
Event Properties
Standard Properties
| Category | Properties | |----------|------------| | Page | page_title, page_location, page_referrer | | User | user_id, user_type, account_id, plan_type | | Campaign | source, medium, campaign, content, term | | Product | product_id, product_name, category, price |
Best Practices
- Use consistent property names
- Include relevant context
- Don't duplicate automatic properties
- Avoid PII in properties
GA4 Implementation
Quick Setup
- Create GA4 property and data stream
- Install gtag.js or GTM
- Enable enhanced measurement
- Configure custom events
- Mark conversions in Admin
Custom Event Example
gtag('event', 'signup_completed', {
'method': 'email',
'plan': 'free'
});
For detailed GA4 implementation: See references/ga4-implementation.md
Google Tag Manager
Container Structure
| Component | Purpose | |-----------|---------| | Tags | Code that executes (GA4, pixels) | | Triggers | When tags fire (page view, click) | | Variables | Dynamic values (click text, data layer) |
Data Layer Pattern
dataLayer.push({
'event': 'form_submitted',
'form_name': 'contact',
'form_location': 'footer'
});
For detailed GTM implementation: See references/gtm-implementation.md
UTM Parameter Strategy
Standard Parameters
| Parameter | Purpose | Example | |-----------|---------|---------| | utm_source | Traffic source | google, newsletter | | utm_medium | Marketing medium | cpc, email, social | | utm_campaign | Campaign name | spring_sale | | utm_content | Differentiate versions | hero_cta | | utm_term | Paid search keywords | running+shoes |
Naming Conventions
- Lowercase everything
- Use underscores or hyphens consistently
- Be specific but concise:
blog_footer_cta, notcta1 - Document all UTMs in a spreadsheet
Debugging and Validation
Testing Tools
| Tool | Use For | |------|---------| | GA4 DebugView | Real-time event monitoring | | GTM Preview Mode | Test triggers before publish | | Browser Extensions | Tag Assistant, dataLayer Inspector |
Validation Checklist
- [ ] Events firing on correct triggers
- [ ] Property values populating correctly
- [ ] No duplicate events
- [ ] Works across browsers and mobile
- [ ] Conversions recorded correctly
- [ ] No PII leaking
Common Issues
| Issue | Check | |-------|-------| | Events not firing | Trigger config, GTM loaded | | Wrong values | Variable path, data layer structure | | Duplicate events | Multiple containers, trigger firing twice |
Privacy and Compliance
Considerations
- Cookie consent required in EU/UK/CA
- No PII in analytics properties
- Data retention settings
- User deletion capabilities
Implementation
- Use consent mode (wait for consent)
- IP anonymization
- Only collect what you need
- Integrate with consent management platform

- What decisions will this data inform?
- Who implements - dev team or marketing?
- Are there privacy/consent requirements?
- What's already tracked?
