Project History

Migration from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4

Directed the strategic planning and migration of analytics properties, ensuring seamless tracking and the redevelopment of live dashboards.

When Google announced its plan to turn off Universal Analytics, I initiated meetings with senior management to inform them of the change and outline the necessary actions to secure future data collection. I compiled a list of properties, containers, and dashboards and facilitated strategic planning sessions to determine which properties to migrate to Google Analytics 4 (GA4), which historical data to retain and where to store it, and which dashboards to redevelop to ensure continued KPI monitoring. I successfully completed the migration in a timely and cost-effective manner.

CRO Program

Developed and implemented the CRO program, achieving the agreed objectives.

I collaborated with the client to define business objectives, KPIs, and targets, then set up tracking to ensure comprehensive data collection. Once we gathered sufficient data, I analyzed it using quantitative and qualitative techniques, generating a prioritized list of testing hypotheses. After the client approved the CRO program, we initiated testing, and within weeks, several successful outcomes emerged.

Winning Test

Improved revenue per user by 9% and conversion rate by 5%.

On the live product page, the unique sales proposition was originally placed below the upsell area. The hypothesis was that moving it above the upsell area, closer to the call-to-action button, would prevent disruption in the decision-making process and encourage more visitors to purchase the main product and additional services.

The variant incorporated these changes, and after two weeks, revenue per user increased by 9%, and the conversion rate improved by 5%. This experiment demonstrated the importance of allowing visitors to first engage with the unique sales proposition, make a purchase decision, and then consider additional services. Providing too much information too early can disrupt the buying process.
