EVENT TRACKING

See every step of your funnel, not just the last one

We set up complete event tracking architectures to record crucial user interactions — page views, add-to-carts, purchases — using precise trigger conditions across web and mobile for clean, reliable data.

The problem

Most sites only track the purchase — and miss where people actually drop off

A purchase event alone tells you what worked. It says nothing about where the other 95%+ of visitors dropped off along the way — product views, add-to-carts, checkout starts, form submissions. Without those events tracked individually, every optimization decision is a guess dressed up as data.

Trigger conditions matter as much as the events themselves: a mistimed or duplicated trigger inflates numbers just as badly as a missing one, and most sites carry both problems without anyone noticing until the totals stop matching reality.

What we do

Full funnel event mapping

Every meaningful interaction — views, adds, starts, completions — mapped and tracked, not just the final purchase.

Precise trigger conditions

Triggers built to fire exactly once, at the right moment, so your numbers reflect what actually happened.

Web & mobile coverage

Events tracked consistently across web and app, so cross-platform behavior isn’t a blind spot.

Clean, structured data

Event names and parameters standardized, so your reports are usable without manual cleanup every time.

How we do it

Mapped, built, verified

01

Map the funnel

We identify every meaningful interaction worth tracking, from first view to final conversion.

02

Build the events

Standard and custom events configured with precise trigger conditions, so each fires exactly once, correctly.

03

Connect the data layer

A structured data layer implemented so events carry clean, consistent parameters into your reporting tools.

04

Validate & document

Every event tested and verified against real user actions, then documented so your team knows what’s tracked and how.

Tools we use

Google Tag Manager · Google Analytics 4 · Data layer & dataLayer.push implementation · Tag Assistant & GA4 DebugView

Timeline: a standard event tracking setup covering the core funnel is usually complete and validated within 3–5 business days; more complex funnels with custom interactions or mobile app coverage can take a little longer depending on scope.

Why BetterSell

Tracking built to be trusted, not just installed

Full funnel, not just purchase. Every meaningful step gets its own event, so you can see exactly where visitors drop off.

Triggers built precisely. Each event fires once, at the right moment — not duplicated, not missed.

Validated before trusted. Every event is tested against real actions before it goes into your reporting.

Documented, not a black box. You get a clear map of what’s tracked and how, so your team isn’t locked out of it.

Tracking is the foundation Pixel and CAPI build on

Clean event tracking is what makes ad platform tracking actually work. Once your events are mapped and firing correctly, Pixel and Conversions API setup is what gets that data to the platforms deciding your ad spend.

Recent results

What this looks like in practice

Funnel finally visible

Before: Only tracked purchases, with no visibility into where the majority of visitors dropped off before ever reaching checkout.

Diagnosis: Product views, add-to-carts, and checkout starts had never been tracked as individual events, leaving a near-total blind spot upstream of the purchase.

Fix: Mapped and implemented the full funnel as individual, properly triggered events feeding into GA4.

Result: The team could finally see the exact step where the majority of visitors dropped off, and redirected optimization effort there.

Duplicate events, resolved

Before: Conversion counts in reporting were consistently higher than actual order counts, with no clear explanation.

Diagnosis: A page reload after purchase was firing the conversion event a second time, inflating every conversion-based report.

Fix: Rebuilt the trigger condition to fire exactly once per transaction, keyed to a unique transaction ID.

Result: Reported conversions matched actual order counts going forward, restoring trust in every downstream report.

Mobile app, brought in line

Before: Web tracking was solid, but the mobile app had no equivalent event tracking, leaving a major channel invisible.

Diagnosis: The app had been built without any analytics SDK integration, so none of its user activity was ever recorded.

Fix: Implemented mobile event tracking mirroring the web funnel, so both platforms fed consistent data into the same reporting.

Result: The business gained full visibility into app user behavior for the first time, matching what was already tracked on web.

It’s a structured way of passing information from your site to your tracking tools, so events carry clean, consistent data instead of being scraped unreliably from the page.

Yes, form and lead event tracking is part of the standard scope alongside ecommerce events.

Every event is tested and validated against real user actions using tools like GA4 DebugView before it’s trusted in reporting.

Yes, events are mapped to feed directly into GA4 and ad platform conversion tracking.
