From data capture to decisions

Visitors leave traces on your website: where they come from, what they look at, where they drop off and what they buy. Captured and connected properly, these traces turn into answers for marketing, website, shop, pricing and category management.

  1. Capture

    What happens on your website?

    Tag management and consent make sure visits, campaigns and purchases are captured consistently, and only with consent.

  2. Connect

    What does it mean?

    Shop, CRM, partner platforms and data warehouse are linked. Single events turn into campaign, new customer, margin and customer value.

  3. Improve

    What do we do now?

    Analyses and reports every team reads the same way. So you keep improving campaigns, website, shop and prices, based on the same numbers.

Tool-agnostic, with strong Shopify expertise, and focused on long-term, scalable and cost-efficient solutions.

For agencies

Your client needs tracking or data expertise that is not part of your core team? I join your project as a specialist.

  • Part of your teamCoordination through you and in your tools. Your client stays your client.
  • Clear interface to developmentData layer specifications and data contracts, so your developers know exactly what to build.
  • Easy to quoteThe packages above are also available at a fixed price for your proposal to the client.
  • Documented handoverDocumentation and versioning, so your team can maintain the setup later.

How I work

Always the same sequence. Depending on your starting point, some steps are short.

  1. Assessment

    Review stack, tools and data quality. Talk to the teams who work with the data.

  2. Concept

    Define which questions the data should answer. Derive events, KPI definitions and concrete requirements for setup and integrations.

  3. Implementation

    Tag manager, consent, server-side tracking, integrations and pipelines. On my own or together with your agency. I aim for a sustainable, cost-efficient system that follows industry standards.

  4. Validation

    Reconcile shop, analytics, ad platforms and data warehouse. Explain or fix discrepancies before anyone makes decisions based on them.

  5. Handover & support

    Documentation, versioning and training. Ongoing support for new campaigns, tools and shop changes if you wish.

When clients bring me in

  • “We need a long-term partner.”Pet food D2C · since 2023

MarTech, demystified

What does MarTech mean, and where does tracking come in?

MarTech covers the tools used to plan, deliver and measure marketing: tag manager, consent tool, analytics, ad platforms, CRM, shop and data warehouse. Tracking is the foundation because it supplies the data. My focus is on making these tools work together cleanly and deliver reliable data.

Are you tied to specific tools?

No. I work tool-agnostic and recommend what fits your setup, your team and your budget. Where it makes sense, I prefer sustainable, self-hosted solutions without unnecessary recurring SaaS costs.

Do you work with international teams?

Yes. I work in English and German, with teams in Germany and internationally, for example for a beauty shop in the US.

Do you work with our agency?

Yes, regularly. I take care of concept and implementation in the MarTech stack and coordinate with your agency or developers wherever changes to the shop are needed.

How do we get started?

With a free 15-minute call or a short message via the form. After that, I usually suggest a tracking audit so it is clear where you stand and what is worth tackling first.

What does working together cost?

There are fixed starting points, all net: the tracking audit for Shopify at a fixed price of €1,200, from €1,500 for other systems, the tracking & data audit from €3,600 depending on scope, the Shopify tracking setup from €2,400 and ongoing support from €1,200 per month. You get the exact price as a fixed quote after the intro call.

Do you measure this website?

Yes, but without cookies, without a banner and without third parties. I show openly how it works and what I can see on the page How I measure this website.
