When this category helps
Your team needs to explain acquisition, activation or retention.
Choose by use case
Analytics
Understand acquisition, behaviour and outcomes with an explicit measurement plan.
31 services to examine against their role and your requirements.
A test before commitment
Define one useful event, its denominator and exclusions. Compare the report with an independent business export.
The mistake to avoid
Sessions, users and orders are different units. A complete report can still be wrong if its event is poorly defined.
Evidence to request
Agree on events, identifiers, consent states, data retention and reconciliation with the sales ledger.
Services to examine
This list includes different operating roles. Inclusion is not certification, independent testing or a guarantee of admission. Descriptions are editorial summaries; confirm current terms at the official source.
Analytics
Google Analytics
Audience, acquisition and conversion measurement for websites and apps. It can help teams understand journeys and campaign outcomes, but useful analysis depends on a deliberate event plan, sound consent handling and careful interpretation rather than a large collection of reports.
