Our client, a global property company, faced challenges in managing and analysing their marketing data across different regions. With a presence in multiple countries, their marketing managers needed actionable insights specific to their local markets. However, the existing analytics setup was fragmented, lacking centralssed reporting that could be segmented by region. The client partnered with [Your Company Name] to design a comprehensive dashboard using GA4 and Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio) that provided region-specific insights for their marketing teams worldwide.
The primary objectives of the project were to streamline reporting across regions by creating a centralised dashboard that allowed segmentation by region, enabling marketing managers to view performance metrics tailored to their specific markets. By leveraging GA4’s advanced event-based tracking model, we aimed to capture detailed insights into user behaviour across the client’s property portfolio.
Several challengers were overcome during this project:
Complex Data Structure: The client operated multiple regional websites, each with unique tracking requirements and localised campaigns.
Inconsistent Data Collection: Some regions used outdated tracking setups, resulting in gaps and discrepancies in the data.
Cross-Platform User Journeys: Users often interacted with multiple websites and platforms before converting, requiring a unified view of the customer journey.
Custom Metrics for Each Region: Regional teams needed custom metrics and KPIs that varied based on local business goals.
