🎯 THE PROBLEM

90% of businesses install Google Analytics and think they know what's happening on their site. They see page views, time on site, basic metrics. But they can't tell you where users click, what they watch, or which form fields cause people to quit.

They're flying blind. And losing money because of it.

⚡ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

In this episode, I break down the exact tracking plan framework I use with clients who've generated $11M+ in additional revenue over the past year.

You'll discover:

- The 3 core areas you must track: interactions, forms, and errors

- E-commerce funnel: product view → gallery → cart → checkout → purchase

- SaaS funnel: video → signup → onboarding → activation → payment → retention

- How to name events so any PM or marketer can understand your setup

- The 8-point document structure for each tracking event

- What to check daily vs. weekly
